The Self-Inflicted Martyrdom of Rashida Tlaib

Hero of the Arab world after his surprise assault on Israel in the Yom Kippur War four years earlier, Sadat considered something once unimaginable: he would go to Israel, the first and most significant Arab leader to do so, and would be willing to call Israel "Israel," not "Jewish-occupied Palestine," and even recognize Israel's right to exist.

The congresswoman sought entry into the Jewish homeland but was spurned by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rightly views Tlaib as no friend of Israel.

Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, proclaimers of peace, are backed by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel - or what BDS calls "Israel's apartheid rule" in "Occupied Palestinian Territory."

In a tweet, Donald Trump praised Israel, no doubt incensing the easily incensed Rashida Tlaib.

An empathic Israel granted Tlaib a humanitarian visa to visit her grandmother.

Tlaib responded with a bitter statement saying she would not go to Israel.

"I have therefore decided not to travel to Palestine and Israel at this time." The suffering Tlaib mourned the loss inflicted by the cruel Zionists: "Visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions meant to humiliate me would break my grandmother's heart."
