OPINION:
With a trip to Israel already approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Reps. Tlaib and Omar, the two anti-Israel members of the House of Representatives, it would be edifying if and when the itinerary is made public. Certainly the American taxpayer will be confronted by the trip cost to the tune of thousands, if not hundred of thousands, of dollars for luxurious accommodations, costly security and miscellaneous gratuities.
Questions that demand answers are as follows: Will they be shown the palatial mansions of Mahmoud Abbas and his allies? Will they be introduced to the relatives of the murderers of Israeli citizens and these relatives’ now-comfortable lifestyles, thanks to blood money from the Palestinian Authority? Will they be informed about Yasser Arafat’s widow’s billions of dollars and European residences? Will they be allowed to enter the Gaza enclave and shown the thousands of rockets destined for Israel, not to mention the arson-producing weapons designed to burn the fields of Israeli inhabitants?
Unfortunately, there is little doubt that the trip will only be used for further propaganda against the Jewish state.
