Rep. Rashida Tlaibhe the Palestinian-American congresswoman was expected to visit her 90-year-old grandmother.
However, she said Friday she will not visit her family in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, hours after Israel’s interior ministry granted her request to travel to the territory on humanitarian grounds.
“When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions.
I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my city to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies,” the Michigan Democrat tweeted, referring to her 90-year-old grandmother whom she was expected to spend time with in the West Bank.

On Friday she added:
"I should be on a plane to see her," Tlaib said, as she choked back tears during a Shabbat service in her hometown of Detroit, according to video from the Jewish Voice for Peace Action, the group that organized the event. "But you all gave me even more love today as much I try to replace as much of what I would have been able to get when I got there."

On Tuesday, the pervert mocked Rep. Rashida Tlaib's grief over her decision not to visit her grandmother in the West Bank after initially being barred by Israel, claiming the Democratic congresswoman "grandstanded" when she shed tears Monday.
Tlaib got tearful as she spoke about visits she had made as a young girl to visit her grandmother in the West Bank. When she spoke about her mother and herself having to go through "dehumanizing checkpoints," Tlaib grew visibly emotional.
