Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has hit an abrupt obstacle: a ban by the Palestinian Authority on the activities and events of LGBT activists.
Tlaib and Omar have made much ado in recent days about Israel banning them entry for their support for the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement that seeks to banish trade with the Jewish state and ultimately eliminate the Middle East democracy.
Omar and Tlaib had boycotted an organized congressional delegation visit to set up their own trip, sponsored partly by Miftah, which was described by David French at National Review as a promoter of "Vile anti-Semitism," including the "Blood libel" that Jews use "The blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover."
House Democrats were considering how to retaliate against Israel for its decision to banish those who seek its destruction.
Palestinian Media Watch reports the Palestinian Authority has made it clear that anyone organizing LGBT activities will be arrested and charged for violating "The highest ideals and values of the Palestinian society," according to PA police spokesman Luay Erziqat.
Washington Examiner columnist Brad Polombo wrote that the development illustrates the "Blatant hypocrisy of supposedly progressive Democrats supporting an illiberal Palestinian Authority government over our Israeli allies."
"After all, members of 'the squad' such as Tlaib and Omar have come down firmly on the side of Palestine in the conflict, falsely painting Israel as their 'oppressors' and in Omar's case, even invoking anti-Semitic rhetoric in her criticisms of Israel. But just today the Jerusalem Post reports that Palestine, in all its progressive glory, is banning gay and transgender activism from the West Bank.".
