Israel’s no-win situation with Omar and Tlaib
By Richard Baehr
Unfortunately, whatever decision Prime Minister Netanyahu made with regard to the planned tour of the West Bank by Reps. Omar and Tlaib, would have been a public relations loser for Israel.
Unlike the tour of Israel by 72 Democrats and Republican House members just completed, the publicity for the stick-the-middle-finger-to-Israel tour by the two Squad members, would have been covered by the three networks, CNN and MSNBC, the New York Times and Washington Post as if it were the first successful climb of Mount Everest or the first moon landing.
On the other hand, Bibi’s government’s refusal to allow the two members to tour now is being made to look as if Israel is afraid of criticism, which is nonsense. For the record, President Trump’s public call for Israel to deny the visit, or it would look weak, made Israel look weak. Leaders of close allies can discuss options in private.
