By now you’re well aware that Benjamin Netanyahu has barred BDS-backing Reps Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from a planned visit to Israel, and that Tlaib said she won’t take advantage of a hardship exception Israel has offered so she can visit her grandmother. Meanwhile, CNN’s Dana Bash was stunned by Netanyahu’s decision to bar Omar & Tlaib that has Trump’s support:

Dana Bash is absolutely stunned at Israel's cruel unwillingness to offer goods, services, and accommodations in service of the advancement of a boycott against all goods, services, and accommodations from Israel.

Is it really that hard to understand?

@DanaBashCNN so if there was a boycott and divest group that targeted CNN, Bash would welcome them with open arms to her show — Glenn Amurgis (@gamurgis) August 16, 2019

And Acosta might even get another book out of that!

Just to be clear : she understands completely. She's merely pretending to not understand for the sake of the rage beast she helped to create. — Fingerling (@totter777) August 16, 2019

I used 2 think @DanaBashCNN was the most fair minded person @CNN but even shes fallen prey 2 #TDS What Dana fails 2 mention is @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib werent going 2 meet w/the Israeli opposition or govt on behalf of #Palestinians

Their itinerary didnt even have a meeting planned — HowNowBrownCow (@Censored_No_Mor) August 16, 2019

There’s plenty of media omission in reports about this story.
