Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro claimed Thursday that Israel made an error in judgment by barring Rep. Ilhan Omar D-Minn., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., from visiting the Jewish state and said the Israeli government played right into the lawmakers' hands.
"Is this a smart move by Israel? No. It is a very not smart move by Israel," Shapiro said on his eponymous radio program Thursday.
"If Omar and Tlaib had just gone to Israel and then they had done their little propaganda tour about how Israel is evil and shouldn't exist -- then their ten fans would cheer and everybody else would sigh and roll their eyes," Shapiro said. "This is actually giving Omar and Tlaib what they want in terms of PR so they can falsely claim that Israel doesn't tolerate dissent."

The Bible exhorts us to honor Israel
The idea that organizations - from countries on down - need to open their doors to people who hate and despise them and want to see them destroyed, is crazy, but it seems to be the received wisdom among the left these days.
Israel is not supportive of those who wish its destruction, much less roll out the welcome mat for a visit.
Mr. Shapiro apparently is still afraid of being called a “ray-ciss”.
He seems to have a secret longing to be loved by the Left.
No one to blame but themselves.
ISRAEL has the right to prevent ANTI-ISRAEL ACTIVISTS from stirring up trouble by keeping them out.
Maybe he should move there and run for office.
Dittos.
He’s turned out to be a little twerp.
Wrong on that one Ben.
I don’t understand why any one listens to the techno-nerd from War Games.
Ben Shapiro is a ROLCON.
They should have allowed them to come . ..then imprisoned them.
I think he’s right. Sounds completely reasonable to me.
It’s like a baby having a temper tantrum. Let them get it out, without paying too much attention, and then move on.
One time, my toddler son was having one and hanging onto my leg. He quieted down after a few minutes and was fine.
My mother said”How did you do that”?
I said that I just let him express his feelings safely. He’s a nice man now.
More and more I feel that the powers that be have decided that their usual go-to fake conservatives like George Will and Bill Kristol have ruined their ability to lie about being conservative so they needed a new standard bearer who appeared to be a fire breathing conservative on inconsequential matters but who just happens to suggest “moderation” whenever it matters ... in other words, taking left on all important issues. And they’ve settled on Ben Shapiro to be the designated shill.
Shapiro like Rubio is an Establishment Loser at the highest losership order.
I disagree with Ben Shapiro on this. This is a good public shaming of these two harridans.
I’m not sure why we want to hear anything from Benny.
This kid is a fraud. A lot of people seem to finally be catching on to that fact.
