I think to the average person headlines like these read as “Glad they patched things up and let her in” and not “Israeli won’t allow a Congresswoman to do her job and attend meetings.” The fact this is all being portrayed as a “humanitarian gesture” is embarrassing. https://t.co/Z1LU0ZB3AM — PolitiTweet.org

Palestinian Americans are telling me they delete their entire social media presence before visiting Israel-Palestine so the Israeli government won’t weaponize their political views to deny them entry. What’s happening to @RashidaTlaib happens to countless Palestinians every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

If Netanyahu was really trying to prove to the international community that Israel was a democracy that did not have undue control over the lives of Palestinians, this all has surely been one way to do it. https://t.co/3hT2ZdiT3n — PolitiTweet.org

Israel will allow Rashida Tlaib to travel to the occupied West Bank to visit her 90-year old grandmother on humanitarian grounds and on the condition that she doesn’t promote boycotts while there. Ilhan Omar is still being denied entry. https://t.co/JPUNMcxEzX — PolitiTweet.org
