Does Trump and Netanyahu's special relationship serve or harm the US? | Inside Story

The decision to bar two Congresswomen from entering Israel has sent shockwaves through both countries.
The denial of entry to Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar has been condemned by top US democrat politicians.
It's also been criticised by a pro-Israel lobbying group.
Tlaib and Omar had planned to visit Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories this weekend.
President Donald Trump had called for the two lawmakers to be blocked, ahead of Israel banning them.
The U.S. president has in recent months taken decisions that many say have given Netanyahu much political support.
But what does that mean for the long-term ties between the U.S. and Israel?

Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom

Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem and a member of the Likud party.

Is Israel even a country or are they just bad house guests that haven't left yet?

[inashiine]

Omar is what a moral leader looks like

[agikus]

hard to "share" a brutal apartheid state.

[BeeRoyLee]

These people are freaking evil. The hatred in her eyes is astonishing.

[kerneltv]

Who is this lady from Jerusalem She wants to tell us who is a bridge builder and who’s not. She lost her mind. She has no idea of what a Bridge builder is. She is a sick puppy

[Brkklu]

Gideon Levy is spot on well done for speaking out the truth to the situation. Every villain needs a lacky and Trump is just the perfect candidate for one because his God is $ and nothing comes close.

[druid]

Human Rights is a responsibility of all who consider themselves humans.

[baddbeliever]

Rashida's pride made her miss a huge opportunity to get a pity party for the Dems (aligning this issue with the left) and Palestinians.

[Graham-gtgr]

Billions of dollars apparently doesn't even get you a visit to Israel.

[floridamarinemom]

"Generous offer to share this land"? Wtf is she even talking about? It was Palestinian land to begin with. So offering Palestinians a minority section of the land is not a generous offer.

[annechester]

I'm so glad these two brave women are standing up !
May the God of truth protect them

[twinmelodymusic]

Have all right to band them. These ladies are going about this wrong..

[jagdavies]

"Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem" ROFLMAO - BDS

[jakobhopfer]

Fleur Hassan-Nahoum was spot on. Ariel Gold is sinister.

[TheKeithvidz]

all that makes israel significant in US eyes is AIPAC dollars. America has no interest in the region in practical terms.

[razabaqri]

These both dirty powers will vanished one day.
The day is going to come

[angelobkoljenovic]

Problem in America is...?? CBN News (The mission of AIPAC is to strengthen, protect and promote the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that enhance the security of the United States and Israel.) do see my point in direction of this wording of this group AIPAC Problem is this and n media is talking about that this people are holding America Hastings...

[candycoat]

''uncle net i will make you proud....''d trump

[samnetzisto]

You sterilized jewish Ethiopian black women. That is brutal

[Enjoli]

You have to give Israeli's credit for one thing, where no one can touch them. And that is LYING. I don't know if they have special schools for it or does it come natural. Jesus Christ said, John 8:44
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
