Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s drama to visit Israel took another turn today. Last night, Tlaib wrote a letter begging Israel to see her sick grandmother promising it was a private visit and that it might be the “last time I can see her.” After the Israelis agreed, immediately Tlaib rejected their offer and staged a political stunt. Luckily, Israeli officials were one step ahead of Tlaib, and that’s when fed-up patriots destroyed her. You’ll love this.
Rashida Tlaib is a real piece of work. Last night, after the Jewish state decided to ban her, the Michigan Congresswoman wrote a letter to Israel’s Interior Minister Ari Deri begging him to allow her a private visit with her elderly grandmother for humanitarian reasons.
“I would like to request admittance to Israel in order to visit my relatives, and specifically my grandmother, who is in her 90s and lives in Beit Ur al-Fouqa,” Tlaib wrote in her letter to [interior minister Aryeh] Deri. “This could be my last opportunity to see her. I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit.”
The letter taken on face value appears to be a sincere request by Tlaib to put aside her political agenda. “I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit,” is the key line which was meant to appeal to Deri’s own humanity. So, of course, under these terms, Israel approved Tlaib’s request.
Let’s be clear. Tlaib could have visited her grandmother at any time as a private citizen. If her only goal was her sick grandma, she could have made arrangments on her own dime. Instead, she and her good buddy Rep. Omar decided to politicize the original trip which tells you exactly where her priorities lie.
A statement from Deri’s office Friday morning said he had decided to allow the congresswoman into the country based on her letter. It said he “expressed hope that she will live up to her promise and that the visit will only be for humanitarian needs.”
That’s when all hell broke loose. She never intended on visiting her grandmother.
Let’s remind everyone of Rashida Tlaib’s past. Years before Rep. Rashida Tlaib was speaking out against President Trump in Congress, she was shouting at him as security dragged her out of a meeting at the Detroit Economic Club in 2016. This is a woman possessed. She is driven by overwhelming anger and hatred, especially for Israel. America comes in a close second.
Right after Israel approved the visit she requested, Tlaib’s response will make your head spin.
“When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can’t allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my city to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies,” Tlaib tweeted.
“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,” she added.

Israel’s Interior Minister Deri responded to Tlaib’s political ploy: “Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib just tweeted that she will not visit Israel. Last night, she sent me a letter asking me to allow her to visit her grandmother, who is in her 90s, because ‘this might be my last opportunity to see her.’ I agreed to this humanitarian request, but it turns out that it was just a provocation aimed at embarrassing Israel,” tweeted Aryeh Deri.
חברת הקונגרס רשידה טליב, צייצה כעת שלא תגיע לישראל. אמש שלחה לי מכתב ובו ביקשה לאפשר לה לבקר את סבתה בת ה-90 ״כי זו יכולה להיות ההזדמנות האחרונה שלי לפגוש אותה״.
אישרתי זאת הומניטרית, אך מתברר כי זו הייתה פרובוקציה כדי להבאיש את ריחה של ישראל. שנאתה לישראל גוברת על אהבתה לסבתה— אריה מכלוף דרעי (@ariyederi) August 16, 2019
Fed-up Americans are outraged. They destroyed Tlaib on social media.
“I used my Grandmother as a political pawn. Useful idiots fell for my con. I agitate Israel’s destruction from dusk til dawn. I’m shady Tlaib, yes, I’m real shady. It’s all about the Paliwood Benjamins baby!” tweeted Teagan Reilly.

“OK ~ Now we really see how important it was to see your Grandmother, possibly for the last time, due to her age. You are evil & never really cared if you could spent any quality time with her. This was nothing but a political ploy all along,” tweeted Bella Luna.

“Oh pleeeeeease. Spare us the crocodile tears. No one is silencing you, yet nor will Israel allow you to use us for your own extremist propaganda. Had you just wanted to visit your grandma, fine. But this was political PR trip. You’re not fooling anyone!” tweeted Arsen Ostrovsky.

“Well, dahling seeing your elderly [grandmother isn’t] as important as politics. When granted a visit with her, now you don’t want to go see her. Shame on you using your [grandmother] like that! I loved mine and I would never have used her. This was all to start trouble As usual,” tweeted “I’m So Right.”

Rashida Tlaib’s type of political game-playing is so extreme, and her hatred for Israel and America so great, people are starting to question her mental status.
Extremism of any type which is fueled by hatred should be a red flag. This political stunt backfired big time on the anti-Semitic Democrat, and this should be enough evidence for the good people of Michigan to deny Rashida Tlaib’s re-election.
