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."

Ben just jumped the shark.
He tries to be edgy and standout from the crowd to get clicks. That’s all this is.
A ‘Muslim ban’ right?
How many Muslims live in Israel? Anyone got the number?
Exactly
In exactly 3 seconds nobody will care that anti-Israel activists weren’t allowed into Israel. In fact it will make many, many Americans think, “gee, why dont we do that here?”
Bs super smart guy reminds me of mark levin when he says something i disagree with i try to think more
Ben is irrelevant
Can’t stand Ben. He irritates the hell out of me.
Gees
Those two would take pix of gun emplacements and text them to their paymasters
Well, morally I think Isreal is right, of course (and President Trump), but only time will tell if this was actually the right battle at the right time. I would have preferred if we simply didn’t let those two back in (not possible of course)
I’ll never understand the blind hatred for Ben Shapiro. I really like the guy. He’s one of us. Just because he expresses an opinion you don’t agree with. Stuff it...he’s way smarter than all of us put together.
Well at least us gentile Christians support Israel ...
Ben has a good grasp of issues but a piss poor political instinct. He is literally always wrong about events. Good on philosophy. Terrible on politics.
actually...Trump wants as much attention on these 4 lunatics as possible. And like clockwork, the entire Rat party and the Rino pukes plus the media take the bait and run. You could set your watch to these idiots. Its called smart politics benji...watch and learn from a master.
Left wing mentality. Just like leaving millions of illegals flock across the border or allowing millions to immigrate who have no love of Western history or the Constitution. Don’t let people in your country who would destroy it and work with those who believe the same. Shut up Ben.
Recently cancelled my subscription to his YouTube channel. He always gives a negative take on our President. There are plenty of things to do without having to listen to my President being bashed.
I am glad they got blocked from Israel. Now, someone please block AOC from here.
What mistake? These are two doctrinaire Muslim Socialists pretending to be “American” who already had their formed opinions about what they would “find” in Israel, and still claim it was a “fascist state”, a most curious conclusion, considering the lessons of history.
But neither Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib are really strong in their historical perspective.
Ben’s an old stryle conservative.
Talkie talkie. No walkie walkie.
I wonder if Ben would have said “Oh, yeah... just ignore those clowns with swastikas marching around like toy soldiers. No one will ever pay any attention to them.”
With all due respect, you’re overestimating him.
His candid description of the cesspool that Harvard Law School is (when he was admitted, Elana Kagan was dean) would probably be his high point. This is one of his low points.
