HAND."
>> Shannon: THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
DOES ISRAEL'S DECISION TO BAN TO
MEMBERS OF THE SO-CALLED SQUAD
HELP OR HURT THE PRESIDENT?
LET'S DISCUSS WITH THE DEMOCRATS
SEEKING TO UNSEAT CONGRESSMAN
JERRY NADLER, LINDSEY BOYLAN.
AND DR. ROBERT JEFFRESS.
WELCOME TO YOU BOTH.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS, THE
EDITORIAL BOARD, WHAT ARE TRUMP
AND NETANYAHU AFRAID OF?
IT'S LONG BEEN ISRAEL'S MANTRA
THAT CRITICS SHOULD COME SEE FOR
THEMSELVES IN THE COUNTRY
CERTAINLY STRONG ENOUGH TO
HANDLE CRITICISM FROM TWO
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
MR. TRUMP HAS DONE ISRAEL NO
FAVOR."
>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
THESE WOMEN WERE DENIED ENTRY
INTO ISRAEL NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE
WOMEN OR THEIR WOMEN OF COLOR OR
THEIR DEMOCRATS.
THEY WERE DENIED ENTRY BECAUSE
THEY HAVE ENGAGED IN CAUSTIC,
ANTI-SEMITIC RHETORIC AND THEY
HAVE EMBRACED POLICIES THAT ARE
JUST AS GREAT OF A THREAT IS
REAL AS ANY TERRORIST ATTACK.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER, SHANNON,
THAT ISRAEL IS A NATION THE SIZE
OF NEW JERSEY.
YET FOR 3,000 YEARS, IT'S
ENDURED ATTACKS BY IDEOLOGIES
AND COUNTRIES THAT WANT TO WIPE
THE JEWISH PEOPLE OFF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH.
IT'S EASY FOR US IN AMERICA,
SEPARATED BY TWO OCEANS, BIG
COUNTRY, TO SAY ISRAEL OUGHT TO
BE MORE TOLERANT.
WHEN YOU ARE A SMALL COUNTRY
UNDER THREAT 24/7, YOU CAN'T
GIVE AN INCH TO PEOPLE WHO WOULD
QUESTION THE RIGHT FOR EVEN TO
EXIST, LIKE THESE TWO
CONGRESSWOMEN.
NETANYAHU DID THE RIGHT THING
AND BARRING THESE WOMEN FROM
COMING INTO ISRAEL AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP AS USUAL TO THE
RIGHT THING IN SUPPORTING
ISRAEL.
>> Shannon: HERE IS A BIT OF
WHAT NETANYAHU SAID "THE
ITINERARY OF THE CONGRESSWOMEN
REVEALED THAT THE SOLE PURPOSE
OF THEIR VISIT IS TO HARM ISRAEL
AND INCREASE INSIGHT AGAINST
IT."
THE JERUSALEM PULSING "NETANYAHU
STATEMENT THAT NO COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD RESPECTS THE U.S. CONGRESS
MORE THAN ISRAEL BUT THAT IS
REALLY LAW PROHIBITS ENTRY TO
THOSE CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT OF
THE COUNTRY."
LINDSAY, HE AND OTHERS SAY THEY
REFUSE TO MEET WITH HIS REALLY
FIZZLES AND APPEARED TO HAVE
THAT THERE WERE ONLY THERE TO
CAUSE TROUBLE.
YOUR RESPONSE.
>> THE ONLY PROBLEM HERE IS NOT
ADMITTING TO CONGRESSWOMAN FOR
REPRESENTING A MILLION AND A
HALF PEOPLE IN AMERICA BEING
BARRED FROM ENTRY TO ISRAEL.
THIS IS SQUARELY ON THE ISRAELI
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND ALSO ON
OUR PRESIDENT WHO HAS GONE ABOVE
AND BEYOND, TAKEN AND NEVER
BEFORE SEEN STEP TO ACTUALLY ASK
THAT HIS FELLOW POLITICIANS IN
THE UNITED STATES NOT BE ALLOWED
INTO ISRAEL, A DEMOCRACY.
ONE DEMOCRACY TO ANOTHER.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST DAYS
THAT WE'VE SEEN, AND IT'S
UNFORTUNATE THE PASTOR TO CARRY
WATER FOR SUCH A TERRIBLE COST.
>> IT'S A GREAT CAUSE.
>> Shannon: THE FEDERAL SAYING
ISRAEL HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BLOCK
THEM.
"IN 2012 THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION DENIED A VISA TO
MICHAEL BEN ARI, MEMBER OF THE
HARD RIGHT ISRAELI PARTY.
THEN ARI IS NO WORSE THAN TLAIB
OR OMAR."
WHAT YOU SAY, LINDSAY?
>> I THINK THE BEST EXAMPLE OF
DEMOCRACY IS WHEN WE HAVE PEOPLE
WHO DISAGREE.
WE DON'T NEED TO AGREE ON EVERY
SINGLE ISSUE.
THESE TWO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
ARE REPRESENTING PEOPLE OF THE
DISTRICT AND USE BEFORE THE
ISRAELI AMBASSADOR'S OFFICE SAID
BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THESE TWO WOMEN
ENTERING ISRAEL FOR THE PURPOSES
OF A POLITICAL GATHERING, FOR
MEETINGS.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE NOW IS THAT
BOTH THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES HAS CHOSEN TO MAKE
THIS HIS CAUSE AND FOR WHATEVER
REASON BIBI NETANYAHU FEELS THIS
IS ALSO A GOOD LOOK FOR HIM,
WHICH IT IS NOT.
>> Shannon:
SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS HAS SAID
HE WANTS TO LEVERAGE ALL THE AID
WE ARE GIVING TO ISRAEL TO FIGHT
WHEN HE CALLS THE RACIST
POLICIES.
HE SAYS THERE'S NO REASON AN
ARRAY FOR ISRAEL TO DO THIS.
>> I COMMUNICATED TODAY WITH OUR
GREAT AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL IN
DAVID FRIEDMAN AND DAVID MADE A
TREMENDOUS POINT.
HE SAID THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT
WAS GOING TO WELCOME THESE
CONGRESSWOMEN INTO ISRAEL AND
THEY JUST WANTED THEM TO SPEND A
LITTLE TIME WITH ISRAELI
OFFICIALS SO ISRAELI OFFICIALS
COULD GIVE THEM AN OVERVIEW OF
WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO TREAT
THE PALESTINIANS AND
HUMANITARIAN WAY.
THESE TWO CONGRESSWOMEN REFUSED
TO MEET WITH ISRAELI OFFICIALS.
INSTEAD THE ONLY PLACE THEY
WANTED TO GO WAS OCCUPIED
PALESTINE.
WHILE WE WERE DOING WAS
GATHERING EVIDENCE AND
AMMUNITION AGAINST THE ISRAELI
PEOPLE TO USE IN THEIR
PROPAGANDA, AND ISRAEL HAD EVERY
