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 Shapiro....with the judgment Michelle Fields.
Why are people so in love with this swish.
Even if he wasn't a #nevertrumper, on the merits of the rest of what he says on a weekly basis, he's pretty damn stupid. How in the world did you get so fooled?
Being “liberal” is sometimes (often) a prescription for suicide, Ben
no civilized country lets sworn enemies in
not even USA!
check American law before you criticise Jerusalem
I never said I hated him....
...to me he is irrelevant
I am simply not a fan
the problem is that it is long since past time for our side to start taking stands on issues - like barring these two traitors from traveling anywhere else. If we actually had a department of state they would pull their passports.
While I appreciate his outspokenness on most issues, he is wrong on a lot of issues as well and comes across as whiny when he gets called out.
Stopped listening to him awhile back.
Israel is reluctant to give V.I.P. tour status to visiting USA domestic terrorists?
Shame on Israel!
Shapiro has Trump’s back.
Even numbered days, he defends Trump.
Odd numbered days, he attacks Trump.
(wind blows different ways, different days)
Agreed. Hamas has been threatening to rain down missiles, and they were going to stir things up.
You mean Ben Shapiru...
Sorry to tell you Ben but this is not any of your business, you don’t know all the details, and thankfully it’s not your call to make
Oh yea and your anti-Trump attitude causes you to lose a lot of credibility.
Eff off, Ben.
This man is so irritating. The local radio station dropped Dave Ramsay to put this Trump hater on the air. What were they thinking?
“Ben just jumped the shark.”
No, Ben jumped the skank.
See how easy this is?
I am in Support of Israel.
Do not weaken your standards and let anti-Israel haters in.
Protect Israel.
God bless Israel and may His peace be upon it.
Amen.
It’s what happens when you’re barely one and a half Rogan’s tall...
I’m actually referring to the optics as they regard Israel rather than us. Those two are a national embarrassment.
I think he’s correct. Let Omar and Tlaib go, and vent their spleen. Israeli democracy is quite strong enough to handle it - most people won’t even care.
Also - local citizens are free to organize counter-demonstrations against these women. I bet many locals feel very strongly and would come out in large numbers against them. I would like to see that.
