lookdo not want israel to bad and they are invested in a bipartisan consensus around israel. they are losing that and losing the democrats for losing the democratats at the base and now starting to lose thehe democrats who are elected. i think this is a move for self-preservation or than anything else. amy: where going to go to break and come back to this discussion with rebecca vilkomerson, head of jewish voice for peace, and dr. mustafa bargrghouti, a membr of the palestinian parliament. back in a moment. ♪ [music break] amy: "can i go on" by sleater kinney. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. israel has announced it will conditionally allow congress woman to lead to visit family in the west bank a day after it barred both rashida tlaib and sister congresswoman ilhan omar from entering israel to travel to occupied palestine. israel is still refusing entry to omar. israel initially blocked entry to both lawmakers after president trump took the unprecedented step up publicly urging israel to bar entry to the women. the first

israel has barred 2 u.s. democratic congresswoman from visiting the country prime minister benjamin netanyahu is office issued a statement claiming. their visit was meant to quote negate the legitimacy of israel now this includes representatives rush to lani who is a palestinian heritage and ohana omar they have both been highly critical of israel's treatment of palestinians and have held for a boycott of his really products the entry ban comes after president donald trump tweeted that the 2 congresswoman hate israel and all jewish people. expect the sound we're joined by tanya kramer in jerusalem and public fully las in washington welcome to you both and i'd like to begin with you tanya why has israel decided to bar entry to these 2 congresswoman. this planned visit has been discussed in israel for several weeks now but it also this latest decision is a turnaround of a government decision now the congresswoman here are seen by israeli government officials as being vocal critics of israeli policies against pa

show that it's not just hollow rhetoric and mean when israel says that iran cannot threaten israel from syria that it must not intrench there that israel is watching and when iranian forces iranian proxies are staging drones or rockets especially very close to israel's ceasefire lines then they may face some sort of action from israel and i think that's clear and israel has been doing that over the last several years right and this is saying with yousef i mean this is clearly mr security trying to burnish his credentials of course he's got an election in just a few weeks in september how does this play with the israeli public do they feel that this increased rebuffs ness if you like using airstrikes makes them safer. i don't think this is playing deeply to the elections i mean israel has admitted that it carried out more than a 1000 air strikes in the last several years so i think that you know netanyahu is the well known in israel and last 10 years he's managed the conflict very well i think for most people's perspective most israelis know him if they object to certain aspects of netan

some of the members say to boycott israel until israel no longer exists. other people say it's focused on how israel treats the palestinians. some people say this is president trump and israel punishing people for what they believe, as opposed to specific actions. what do you think? >> i think the critics of bds have a very substantive argument. what's happened with this particular episode is what the u.s. and israel have done is sort of counter-productive to our ideas. united states and israel have always been bastions a liberal democrat sick, showcasing freedom of expression, showcasing entrepreneurial economies, engaging in a civil manner. when you have the president of the united states and the prime minister of israel shut down critics rather than engage them, and use a trip to showcase everything that's great about america, great about israel, i think it's a huge missed opportunity and is probably one of the better ways to actually engage critics. instead what this does is give critics a platform, and in many way legitimizes the criticisms that they

on israel. this is what the interior minister decided regarding these two congresswomen, and i agree with him. for donald trump, this isn't about who goes in and out of israel. it's about the next election, and he wants to personify the democratic party as these two women. he has vilified them as being anti—semitic, left—wing extremists, anti—american, and the more that democrats get behind them, the more he likes it. but what israel stands to get out of this is harder to fathom. the us president and israeli prime minister are tight, but this decision hasn't only alienated democrats. many republicans are critical too, and even aipac, the pro—israel lobbying group, has said it is wrong. john sopel, bbc news, washington. dr guy ziv is a professor of international relations at american university's school of international service in washington. he's in arlington virginia. dr guy ziv, very good to talk to you. it is unusual what israel has done and very unusual for a president to urge and ve

israel says they are not welcome. israel says they are not welcome. that decision coming after the president of the united states tweeting israel would look weak, show great weakness if it allowed them to come. reaction comes in now from political groups. this from apac. we disagree with representative omar and tlaib's for the anti-israel and anti-peace bds movement along with representative tlaib's call for a one-state solution. we also believe every member of congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic ally israel firsthand. this from the democratic leader in the senate. democratic chuck schumer saying denying entry to members of the united states congress is a sign of weakness, not strength. it will only hurt the u.s./israeli relationship and support for israel in america. no democratic society should fear an open debate. many strong supporters of israel will be deeply disappointed in this decision which the israeli government should reverse. so apac, which again has been critical of both of these congresswomen, essentially sayin

and to to meant against israel. both omar and tlaib support the movement to boycott israel and have been chris sized for statements that have been considered anti-semitic. the israeli decision was announced shortly after a tweet coming from president trump in which he said it would show great weakness if israel loud representative omar and tlaib to visit. >> the ban sparked a mountain of criticism from democrats, speaker nancy pelosi saying it's beneath the dignity of the great state of israel and apac, the prominent lobbying in the u.s., opposing the ban. they disagree with the support of the boycott movement, it says every member of congress should be able to visit israel. let's go live to cnn's oren lieberman in jerusalem with some new details. >> dave, will be allowed to visit, we just found out from the interior minister that tlaib has been granted permission to enter on humanitarian grounds so she can visit her grandmother in her 90s. it was a letter written by congress tlaib to the minister in which she reque

from israel came through there was a tweet from donald trump in which he said that israel would show great weakness if it decided to allow them in and he said that they hate israel and all jewish people so it does seem to be in a lot of the criticism of this decision is along the lines that it does seem to be catering to the domestic political agenda of donald trump in targeting these congresswomen it does also potentially accord with benjamin netanyahu own electioneering head of the september elections here it plays to his right wing voter base but there is criticism coming from israeli voices as well on the basis that it could affect the long term bipartisan nature. the relationship between the united states and israel prism 2 from the veteran p.l.o. figure out how to who was behind part of the planning of this visit saying that it was an outrageous act of hostility against the american people and their representatives so israel is trying to obscure its human rights record well it's 100 lot for us in washington d.c. and the president really seems to have his in the job because the

israel passed a law allowing it to ban entry to those who support a boycott against israel. this has certainly been the most high profile use of that law. when did israel make its decision? well, we know when it was announced. shortly after president trump tweeted israel will be showing great weakness by letting them in and that left israel very little wiggle room, especially prime minister netanyahu. netanyahu has never publicly disagreed with trump and he wasn't going to start now. it wasn't until shortly after that netanyahu said the two will be decided. we're waiting to see if congresswoman tlaib is permitted entry to visit her family. >> how much of this, oren, was netanyahu feeling the pressure to cave with an election right around the corner? >> reporter: both israel and the u.s., the administrations, have insisted this was an israeli decision but there was hints that trump was involved in this. trump sent the tweet telling israel how to carry out the foreign policy. there are no doubt political decisions here as well. netanyahu has a tough battle for his sixth term i

israel's foreign policy. president trump protested loudly and personally appealed to prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and the israeli government did indeed bar the congresswomen from entering the country, but after international condemnation, a slight concession. israel now saying that congresswoman tlaib could visit on humanitarian grounds to see her family living in the west bank. but congresswoman tlaib now says that's not good enough. she's declined the invitation, arguing that the israeli government was using her family as, quote, a political bargaining chip, and continuing to criticize what she sees as, quote, racism and the politics of hate in israel. now, at first glance, it seemed as though president trump got his way, but a number of prominent republicans think the president actually got played. republican senator marco rubio tweeting that blocking the congresswomen only benefited them by highlighting their criticism of israel's foreign policy. and even apac, the politically powerful lobby for u.s

-israel relationship and support for israel in america. the house speaker, nancy pelosi, said it was beneath the dignity of the great state of israel. nancy pelosi has always been a big supporter of israel and, quite notably, we are hearing from the pro-israel group, aipac, who has recently been very critical of both omar and tlaib, and they actually said that denyiying the entntry to te congresswomen into israel is a mistake and should nonetheless be allowed to travel to israel, referring to both of them. we've actually also heard from representative ill had omar -- ilhan omar. she said israel's decision to block her entry to the country was an insult to democratic values. let's not forget donald trump, the president of the united states tweeted after israel had made that decision. he said they hate israel, the two representatives, and that both of them are the face of the democratic party. he will be speaking later on at a rally in new hampshire. it will be interesting to see what he says there later on. >> we have to watch that space cl

and has told israel to keep them out is that having an influence on israel's decision. yeah that's certainly one reading of the situation could have us quite an on president to set off the events because once you have to know that a month ago the israeli ambassador to the united states one demo had actually said that the visit would go ahead and might not like the opinions of those 2 congresswomen but they would be allowed entry out of respect for congress and that israel would not bar any member of congress to to enter. and then this tweet came and then some reading it is well that this has influenced that decision of prime minister netanyahu was a very strong word just tweet that israel would look weak if they would let those 2 congress women enter and of course you don't have to forget i mean we are also in the middle of an election campaign is that would cater probably also to prime ministers netanyahu is a right wing bloc but there has been also a lot of criticism well this decision means for the bipartisan nature off this relationship between the 2 allies israel a

with iran however iran has decided to attack israel to build forces and to strangle israel but we're not going to wait with defense systems you don't win by playing defense you have to preempt and that's what we will do the problem you have is very new slate this oil brought over the world. and because no one no one calls it to account it's allowed to get away with essentially murder. it's targeted and hit 3 separate sovereign countries in the past few days i see no one questioning why israel is doing something or why israel is provoking the situation at the end of the day israel needs to understand that iran has said this time and time again that look you're playing with fire don't do this don't be silly behave yourself iran has no real interest in starting a war and iran will not start a war it's a long and i have said it categorically however what iran will do if it is attacked or its allies within the resistance axis are directly attacked they will retaliate and rightly so because in this case the aggressor the one who's instigating problems who's lying and making up fairy storie

both around and in israel for their assessments of the situation iran is trying to envelope israel from all of this through has which is the fact of lee iran through syria through iraq and even through gaza it's like a big octopus sending its arms in order to strangle israel the problem you have israel is like this oil out of the world. and because no one no one calls it to account it's allowed to get away with essentially minute. talking to it and hit 3 separate sovereign countries in the past few days israel has no issue with iran if iran would focus. on its own people and stop trying to destroy israel as it explicitly says it will do and therefore meant to tear around the world we would have no issue with iran however iran has decided to attack israel to build forces and to strangle israel but we're not going to wait with defense systems you don't win by playing defense you have to preempt and that's what we will do i see no one questioning why israel is doing something why israel is provoking the situation at the end of the day israel needs to understand that iran has said this time

congress to israel. i know that there is no precedent for an american president lobbying an allies government to bar two american citizens from entering their country. two american citizens, both of them elected officials. that's something that's never happened before. >> jeremy, you've been a very important voice for american jews who believe there should be negotiations. what is your reaction? >> i think that the threat that both trump and netanyahu posed to the underpinnings of democracy is really what unites all of this. this is a threat around the world. as we see despotism and au autocracy rearing their heads, this has to be fought by people on all sides of the political spectrum. it's not just an israel issue, it's a democracy issue. it's about where we're headed in the liberal democratic world. >> we're approaching a divide here. obviously this is going to put political pressure on nancy pelosi and other members of the house caucus to embrace their colleagues, two colleagues because you cannot ha

into israel. if my two colleagues have seen what they've seen over the years i believe they would have come away with valuable new perspectives. now that they won't have that opportunity it's a real shame. joining our discussion now opinion writer for "the washington post", both msnbc contributors. i want to start with your reaction to what we saw today, something we have never seen before. >> it was horrendous. it was horrendous from many perspectives. it was horrendous the president of the united states was telling any foreign government, ally or foe not to admit members of the united states congress. it's apparent that benjamin netanyahu is putting his own re-election hopes which dependent upon him currying curr favor with the far right in israel above the u.s.-israel relationship. and no one who's a friend to israel would ever do this. and the reason is the survival of the relationship depends upon it being bipartisan, and that is why apac came out and to the exception of what the president sa

in some ways he is attacking israel for doing this, but israel wouldn't have done this without trump. >> what i think is important here is putting together all of the messages that you've been talking about. not only has he taken extraordinary measures to make a foreign ally of the u.s. do exactly what he wants, but he's taking extraordinary measures to punish his own political opponents and foes here by getting his foreign alles what he wants because he is defining the democratic party by women of color who are already vulnerable and already easilivillified. what's a better re-election strategy for the president of the united states who thrives on culture wars than to define the democratic party and go to these extreme lengths by women of color, which is an inherent way that his base, which is mostly white, views this election, as an us versus them situation. >> howard, in a few minutes i am going to interview the former israeli ambassador of the united states. because this feels like a long-term mistake for them. israel wants to be a democracy. democracies don't do this. but i want

this is actually helping the anti-israel bds movement because it is calling into question israel's standing as a democracy where people of all different viewpoints are welcome. it is also undermining the bipartisan basis of american support for israel. this is unprecedented to not allow these two members of congress who have to vote on the annual appropriations, $3.3 billion of u.s. aid to israel. they're supposed to vote on that money but are not allowed to see how it's spent? that's something that is very contrary to the long-term interests of israel and the u.s./israel alliance. >> so when you hear kevin mccarthy making this argument, he says he's basically saying they should come and inform themselves, but if you read between the lines, he's saying they aren't. he's saying they didn't come with the congressional delegation. they didn't come with democrats. you had dozens of democrats who were visiting israel. he's saying they didn't come, they didn't visit, they didn't have plans to visit with israeli leaders. i mean what do you make of him making that distinction then? >> i think this

into israel. they were expected to arrive this weekend and spend five days meeting with israeli and palestinian groups. earlier this way, president trump urged israel not to let them visit. he tweeted this. "it would show great weakness if israel allowed these representatives to visit. they hate israel and all jewish people, and there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds." minnesota and michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. they are a disgrace!" and of tweets. and reaction , as you might imagine, is going in. presidential candidate senator bernie sanders tweeted this. "banning congresswomen omar and tlaib from entering israel and palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to those elected leaders to the united states, congress, and to the principles of democracy. the israeli government should reverse this decision and allow them in." the senator mentioned palestine, but while there are palestinians there is no actual state of palestine. moments ago, a mem

israel is denying u.s. citizens for race, religion, and ethnicity, and ultimately, for their political activity in the u.s. the time is now for us to stand up as americans for our fellow citizens who are being denied basic human international rights, based on freedoms that exist within our country. i want to thank reps omar and tlaib for giving us this opportunity to speak out and be strong, because it is people like them that make sure my son will always have a home to return to. thank you for letting me tell my story. rep. omar: thank you, amber. now, let me introduce carin, the executive director of the jewish community action. carin: thank you. my name is carin ross, executive director of jewish community action. we organize jews statewide in minnesota. as jews around the country in places like michigan, new york and south carolina are organizing alongside other communities for immigrant rights, criminal justice reform, access to health care, and affordable housing, we recognize that our identities have

israel bans two u.s. congresswomen from entering the country after presiden trump objects.mu thim lawmakers respond, calling it an affront to democratic values. india's prime minister defends changing the status of kashmir, saying he is working to restore the region's past glory. plus, going on a dinosaur dig. in wyoming, going back to the -- the have unearthed a graveyard dating back to the jurassic period. >> for the first time in my career, we are loostng at an inal-scale investigation. i've never been involved in such a vast dinosaur dig inwhole career. laura: for those watching on pbs and around the globe, welcome to orld news america." israel has barred two u.s. lawmakers from entering the country after being urged to do so by president trump r ilhan omar ahida tlaib are the first muslim women elected to congress. they are vocal supporters of the palestinians. they are also outspoken critics of president trump, who has targeted them in speeches a t even suggesty go back to where they came from. toda

of israel we are not willing to admit into israel those who call for the boycott of the state of israel and act to delegitimize the state of the jews trump successful effort to pressure israel is the latest salvo in his battle with the squad for democratic women of color in congress. omar fired back saying it is an affront that israeli prime minister netanyahu under pressure from president trump would deny entry to representatives of the u.s. government trumps muslim band is what israel is implementing this time against 2 duly elected members of congress there's a long standing tradition and you. yes politics that however contentious things are at home u.s. presidents do not enlist allies abroad to target political opponents but trump has never been bound by convention or politics. the president has said the 4 members of the squad should go back to their countries even though 3 of them were born here in the u.s. that hasn't stopped crowds at his rallies from chanting send her back. the unprecedented ban on to members of the u.s. congress was widely condemned by democrats and republicans

so you saw the congresswoman questioning israel as an ally, questioning aid to israel and the what is the white house response to what we heard there? >> rashida tlaib and ilhan omar are the face of the democratic party, and their anti-semitic comments, their anti-semitic social media posts, their anti-semitic relationships should be condemned at all levels. they are the face not only of the democratic party but the bds movement which is designed by terrorists for terrorists for the annihilation of israel and for people. this is disgusting behavior, you noticed they did not call out aid for saudi arabia or egypt, they are calling on the strongest ally in the region. democrats at all levels where it's nancy pelosi, chuck schumer, or the metered of candidates running for president of the united states have to join together and condemn this type of hatred toward israel. >> sandra: where does the white house anticipate the back and forth next? >> it depends because the president is standing up for the american people and standing up for our ally in israel, but these two women are clearly

oh mark she remains banned from traveling to israel so how is congress reacting to israel's treatment israel of course those big big ally of the united states now is congress reacting to israel treating one of their own in this way. well phil this is a known priesthood and move let's not forget that in fact there's been bipartisan support in congress since which is sort of like the the backbone of the relationship between the u.s. and israel since the foundation of the israeli state and there's been a particularly from the democratic party a lot of criticism geared towards israel and president donald trump over this decision in fact the house majority leader stanley hoyer said on thursday that it was a grave mistake that undermines the bipartisan pro israel consensus nancy pelosi a big supporter of israel also came out saying that it was a big mistake on the part of israel and interestingly the crow israel group apac which is being very critical of omar on telly in the past had actually said that it was also a mistake on the part of israel and that they should nonetheless at the spike

and israel. i thought it was wrong of israel to deny them entrance. i think the best thing that could happen now is people reach out to each other. just like i, very pro-israel, very much in disagreement with these two members of congress, none of the less, supported them in their desire to visit israel. i hope that they'll use this press conference today as an opportunity to tone down the rhetoric, not to change their positions, but to build some bridges, and at least at a minimum say they are not anti-semitic, as some accused them of being. and they don't want to see the extinction of the state of israel. frankly, i think in the same way, the idea of a resolution, condemning the israeli ambassadors and the american ambassador of israel is just harmful and divisive. the american ambassador to israel serves at the pleasure of the president of united states. the same is true of the israeli ambassador. the one ambassador to the united states. we have at least a dozen democratic officials, some senior ranking, saying that they have a deep lack of israel'

, what happened, the two people, congresswoman tlaib and omar, israel blocked the propalestinian for making a victim, the world jewish congress also took aim at the pair support for the movement saying, serious questions need to be asked about tlaib's motivation which is allied with terrorists and not shy about ultimate aim of destroying israel, but they are also now facing criticism from liberal comedian bill mahr, take a look at this on his take during the show. >> by people who want to appear but actually slept law history class as if the occupation came right out of the blue that this completely people are occupied. >> tlaib fighting back, maybe folks should boycott his show, she goes onto say i'm tired discrediting form of speech of quality and freedom, this is exactly how they tried to discredit against appar -- apartheid in south africa, it didn't work then and it won't work now, they plan to talk a whole lot more about israel blocking their trip, heather. heather: we will talk more about it as well. >> good to be with you. >> democrats move to defend the controversial congres

i think that they should be allowed to enter israel and tour israel. i just came back last week from israel. we visited not just jerusalem but we spoke with prime minister netanyahu and we spoke with the leader of the opposition. we went to the gaza border, we visited lebanon borders and syria border. we spoke with palestinians and israelis. we saw israel in many of its facets. and i think it's important to go to any situation and see as much of the picture as possible. but i also think it's important, and this is just my style, is to try to build bridges. long before i got to congress, the effort to try to bring peace between israelis and palestinians to work toward ultimately the possibility of a two-state solution. the reason bds i believe is anti-semitic is because it denies the jewish aspiration for a home of their own, but the palestinians have their own aspiration. the path is between negotiations between the two parties and the role the united states should be playing is to help create the forum for those parties to come together and the streng
