Anti-Semitic Muslim Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has reportedly bent the knee and, in exchange for being allowed into Israel so that she may see her grandmother, essentially agreed to not talk trash about the Jewish state during said visit.

“Interior Minister Aryeh Deri decided on Friday to approve the entry of US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on a humanitarian visit of her 90-year-old grandmother,” the Israeli government announced in a statement Friday morning.

“Congresswoman Tlaib sent a letter to Minister Deri tonight pledging to accept Israel’s demands, respecting the restrictions imposed on her during the visit, and promising not to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit. In light of this, and in accordance with his commitment yesterday, Minister Deri decided to allow her entry into Israel and expressed hope that her commitment and visit would indeed be for humanitarian purposes only.”

The announcement came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threw a wrench in Tlaib and fellow anti-Semitic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s plans to visit Israel by blocking their visit over their ongoing anti-Israeli activism.

In a lengthy statement posted to Twitter, the PM specifically cited both their support for the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, as well the fact that their visit is being funded by a group whose members “have expressed support for terrorism against Israel.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

No country in the world respects America and the American Congress more than the State of Israel. As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel, as do other democracies that prohibit the entry of people who seek to harm the country. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

In fact, in the past the US did this to an Israeli member of Knesset, as well as to other public figures from around the world. Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar are leading activists in promoting the legislation of boycotts against Israel in the American Congress. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

Only a few days ago, we received their itinerary for their visit in Israel, which revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel’s legitimacy. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

For instance: they listed the destination of their trip as Palestine and not Israel, and unlike all Democratic and Republican members of Congress who have visited Israel, they did not request to meet any Israeli officials, either from the government or the opposition. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

A week ago, Israel warmly welcomed some 70 Democratic and Republican members of Congress, who expressed broad bipartisan support for Israel, which was also demonstrated a month ago in a resounding bipartisan vote against BDS in Congress. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

However, the itinerary of the two Congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

In addition, the organization that is funding their trip is Miftah, which is an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

Therefore, the minister of interior has decided not to allow their visit, and I, as prime minister, support his decision. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

Nonetheless, if Congresswoman Tlaib submits a humanitarian request to visit her relatives, the minister of interior has announced that he will consider her request on the condition that she pledges not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) August 15, 2019

Take special note of the last tweet.

“Israel has decided – we won’t enable the members of Congress to enter the country,” Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely reportedly added. “We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle this is a very justified decision.”

Following the announcement, which attracted the blessing of President Donald Trump but the condemnation of congressional Democrats, Tlaib submitted a letter to Deri requesting “admittance to Israel to in order to visit my relatives, and specifically my grandmother.”

It’s unclear what sort of consequences (if any) she might face if she violates the Israeli government’s stipulations. What’s known is that after Netanyahu initially offered to allow her entrance in exchange for her pledging “not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit,” she posted a trash-talking tweet in which she accused Israel of being weak and further suggested that her grandmother isn’t capable of living “in peace & with human dignity” because of the nation’s policies:

This woman right here is my sity. She deserves to live in peace & with human dignity. I am who I am because of her. The decision by Israel to bar her granddaughter, a U.S. Congresswoman, is a sign of weakness b/c the truth of what is happening to Palestinians is frightening. pic.twitter.com/GGcFLiH9N3 — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) August 15, 2019

The tweet garnered widespread backlash because of its disingenuous nature — if her grandmother’s life is so miserable, why was she smiling? — and attacks on Israel.

Look:

Netanyahu himself said you are welcome to apply for a humanitarian visa to visit your family, you lying hack https://t.co/UfFVssMXe2 — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) August 15, 2019

Gosh, she looks miserable. — While Supplies Last (@corrcomm) August 15, 2019

If you were anxious to go to Israel, why did you list “Palestine” as the place you were visiting? Is it because you don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist? Why would anyone who’s very existence you refuse to recognize invite you in? You don’t invite a snake into your home. — BonkPolitics (@BonkPolitics) August 15, 2019

I ran into this same problem. One day, I screamed at the entire staff of an Applebees, calling them oppressive and “satanic.” Unfortunately, I am no longer allowed at Applebees. — Pretty OK Sailorman Omara Lee (@lamarls) August 15, 2019

Stop gaslighting everyone, Congresswoman. Israel has offered to let you visit your relatives. That’s incredibly generous, given that you are pushing a global boycott of their country – the only Jewish state on the planet.https://t.co/XQWHZCeVzY — Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) August 15, 2019

According to The Jewish Press, Tlaib’s now-approved visit is tentatively scheduled to occur “between Sunday and Friday of next week.” Meanwhile, as of Friday morning, Omar remains blocked from entrance, as she has no family within Israel.

Update: 9:40 am, 8/16/19

Despite being granted the opportunity to visit her grandmother, Tlaib ultimately chose to reject the offer:

Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in–fighting against racism, oppression & injustice. https://t.co/z5t5j3qk4H — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) August 16, 2019

This has in turn only intensified accusations that her visit to Israel was never about her family but rather about plotting against the country:

I’d say or do anything to visit my Bubbe if I hadn’t seen her in so long. But this isn’t about that, is it? You just want to be able to sh*t with impunity on #Israel , using #Sity as the tool. Shame on you. What a ruse you tried to perpetrate on the American people. — Adina?️ (@lackboys3) August 16, 2019

Let’s be clear: It was a political stunt. ?? — Winston Smith (@JoPauCor) August 16, 2019
