Monday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin weighed in on the latest media firestorm surrounding Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and their canceled trip to Israel.

Last week, the pair were denied entry to the Jewish state ahead of a planned visit because of their support for the anti-Semitic BDS movement, per Israeli law. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu determined the trip's “sole purpose is to strengthen the boycott and delegitimize Israel.” Tlaib later canceled plans to visit her grandmother after being given special permission because, she said, the Jewish country tried to “silence” her.

"I am disgusted with the excuses for these two reprobates," Levin began. "I am disgusted with the Democrat Party, which is increasingly accepting of neo-Nazi comments and anti-Semitism and bigotry. I am disgusted by the same media that accuses the president of being Hitler but allows these two to act as if they're civil rights activists for the Arabs."

Levin also pointed out that Omar and Tlaib planned to go on their trip organized by Miftah, a virulently anti-Semitic organization with a history of trying to gin up sympathy for terror groups, instead of going on the large congressional delegation trip earlier this month.

Levin then tore into Jewish Democrats Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Jerry Nadler, and Rep. Eliot Engel for defending the freshman duo: "Is there there a Democrat in Congress who's criticizing them? Not one."

"This poison is spreading; this cancer is spreading; it's getting worse," Levin concluded of Omar and Tlaib's anti-Israel rhetoric and beliefs, noting how many groups have rallied around them, including some Jewish groups. "All the weak, soft underbelly of the Jewish establishment has rallied around two anti-Semites who would love nothing more than to see the complete extermination of the state of Israel. It's a sickening spectacle."

Listen:

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., will not visit her family in the West Bank despite receiving special permission from the Israeli government to do so because the Jewish country tried to "silence" her and treated her "liked a criminal," the congresswoman said Friday morning.

Tlaib and fellow anti-Israel House freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., were denied entry into Israel on Thursday for their support of the anti-Semitic BDS movement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the duo's "sole purpose is to strengthen the boycott and delegitimize Israel" with the trip.

Tlaib, however, was granted authorization to enter the country to visit her family, including her 90-year-old grandmother in the West Bank village of Beit Ur al-Fauqa, near Ramallah, “on humanitarian grounds.”

"When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions," Tlaib said in a pair of tweets. "I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my [grandmother] to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies."

"Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me," Tlaib concluded. "It would kill a piece of me."

In her letter asking Israel for the humanitarian visit, Tlaib said that her grandmother’s age added to the urgency of her request and that she would respect terms set by the country. “This could be my last opportunity to see her,” she wrote. “I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit.”

Tlaib's announcement was met with a swift response from Israel's interior minister, who approved her humanitarian application to begin with. The Israeli official called the decision "a provocation to embarrass Israel. Her hatred for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother."

Israeli law clearly states that people can be denied entry to the country if they or an organization they represent have called for a boycott against the country.

Fellow Democrats were not happy about Israel's Thursday decision.

“Banning Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and Palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders, to the United States Congress, and to the principles of democracy,” Democratic 2020 hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vt., tweeted.

“No democratic society should fear an open debate,” stated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “Many strong supporters of Israel will be deeply disappointed in this decision, which the Israeli government should reverse.”

Several on the Right were, by contrast, supportive of Israel's decision to deny entry to people who want to undermine and weaken the country.

"From my point of view, there have got to be consequences to your behavior,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. said. “If you openly joined an international movement to destroy the state of Israel, then you'll suffer the consequences."

"Reps. Omar & Tlaib made it clear the only intention of their visit was to spew hate & advocate for policies that would actively undermine the Jewish state of Israel," House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., tweeted Thursday night. "Just like we expect people to respect our laws, Israeli law allows the government to block the entry of those who advocate for these destructive BDS policies, and we should respect their laws as well."

Editor's note: This article has been updated to add the text of Tlaib's letter asking for the visit and to remove a Facebook post by Mark Levin that was deleted.

Wednesday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin tore into Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for her anti-Israel remarks at a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committee earlier that day.

Alongside a resolution introduced with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., that compared boycotts of Israel to those against Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, Omar also compared efforts to weaken and undermine the world's only Jewish state over its so-called "occupation" to the Boston Tea Party on Wednesday.

"What exactly is Israel 'occupying' that doesn't belong to Israel?" Levin asked. "Air and land. Because Omar, that's her real problem, like Tlaib, that it is a Jewish state. They can't stand it."

Levin went on to note the contrast between the legacy media's treatment of Omar and her colleagues' feud with Trump from over the weekend to that of her anti-Semitism from Wednesday. While left-leaning media outlets made front page news over Trump's tweets about Omar, they seem to be quite silent on her latest remarks about Israel.

"For me," Levin said, "it's about who these people are in their heart and soul. They're haters; they're bigots."

Listen:

House Republicans are making a move to force Democrats into a potentially party-splitting pro-Israel vote on the House floor.

Wednesday morning, standing alongside a sign that said "We stand with Israel," members of the House Republican conference discussed their latest procedural move to force a vote on a bill combatting the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestiture, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, the world's only Jewish state: A discharge petition.

“As elected leaders we have a duty to address the rising trend of anti-Semitism we are seeing across the nation and around the world,” reads a statement from Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. “The BDS movement is a vile manifestation of anti-Semitism that seeks to isolate and shame an American ally; its fundamental motives run counter to our core American principles and ideals.”

H.R. 336, or the Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act of 2019, is currently before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and contains provisions designed to protect the world's only Jewish state from efforts to stymie and cripple it economically.

"The reason that BDS is such a concern," explained House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., at Wednesday's press conference, "is that it's an attempt to delegitimize Israel as a Jewish state."

Between a growing wave of anti-Israel sentiment on the political Left, media attention from multiple high-profile anti-Semitic statements from far-left Democratic freshmen Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and the watered-down resolution responding to some of those comments, the Democratic Party's stance on Israel has come into serious question over the past few months.

The House is a majoritarian body by design, leaving very few options for the minority party to control the legislative schedule. A discharge petition, as Republicans are gathering signatures for here, allows for an end run around the majority party's power, so long as the bill being discharged from committee can get signatures from a House majority.

“We have witnessed the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hate throughout the world, in our nation, on college campuses and within the halls of Congress, and whether this bigotry is brazen or it’s blatant anti-Semitism deceptively called ‘legitimate’ we must crush it wherever it exists,” said Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., said in a statement about the discharge petition.

“Members of Congress can no longer hide behind procedural roadblocks. The American people deserve to know where each and every one of us stand and what we are willing to do about it," Zeldin's statement continues, "which is why we’re doing what House Democratic leadership won’t; unapologetically bringing legislation to the floor that not only condemns the BDS movement but helps stop it.”

This is not the first time this session that Republican leaders have attempted to force their Democratic colleagues to vote on a potentially divisive issue in the House chamber. Earlier this year, GOP members launched a discharge petition campaign to bring up a high-profile anti-infanticide measure after national attention to the issue led to a widely covered vote on the Senate version.

The anti-BDS petition was filed back in April but "ripened" for signatures this week. It will need 218 signatures to bring it out of committee and force a floor vote, which means that all 197 House Republicans would need 21 House Democrats to join them.

According to an emailed statement from the office of House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, no fewer than 27 current House Democrats cosponsored similar legislation in the last Congress.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., however, told reporters Wednesday that he intends to move quickly on the pro-Israel measure.

"The committee is considering this, and I expect to be moving something out of the committee in the relatively near future," Hoyer said during a press briefing elsewhere in the Capitol complex. "My inclination is to put it on the floor, yes, but I want to see what the committee does first before I make that decision."

Thursday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin retold the story of the Holocaust and the horrific persecution of the Jewish people to remind listeners of what anti-Semitism actually looks like.

"When you look at this tiny little country of Israel, the countries around it — Arab Muslim countries — have tried repeatedly to wipe it and the people there off the face of the earth. And in each attempt, they have failed. In each attempt, they have failed. Nobody's tried to wipe Egypt off the face of the earth. Nobody's tried to wipe Saudi Arabia off the face of the earth. Nobody's tried to wipe Jordan off the face of the earth. Nobody's tried to wipe Syria off the face of the earth. Nobody's tried to wipe Lebanon off the face of the earth, and on and on. But Israel, because it's populated with Jews, is to be wiped off the face of the earth. So says the Iranian regime, so say the various terrorist organizations, and so say members of the Democrat party who are in the United States Congress, lead by Ilhan Omar, a Somalian Islamic Muslim, who has challenged time and again the right of the state of Israel to exist, as has her colleague Tlaib, as has her colleague Ocasio-Cortez," Levin said.

Earlier Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a nonbinding resolution, 407 to 23, which they claimed condemned anti-Semitism. Levin explained that in fact, the resolution does the opposite, though the New York Times and Washington Post have already scorned the Republicans who voted against it.

"This resolution, cobbled together by the Democrat party leadership — which includes Jewish Americans — did not condemn Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez. It did not condemn anti-Semitism qua anti-Semitism. You know what it condemned? The American people. It condemned the American people as an anti-Semitic people, which we are not," he said. "As a racist people, which we are not. As a homophobic people, which we are not. And down the list."

Listen:

"The hate-America Democrats passed a resolution telling you that America sucks. And I am telling you, as an American Jew, I pray to God every day and thank him for being a child of this country — as we all do, from all walks of life. This is not about America. This is about Islamic fundamentalists who have now, as a result of our immigration policies and lack of assimilation, been elected to the United States House of Representatives. They hate America, they hate Jews, and they hate the state of Israel. That's a fact."
