The Israeli government has decided to deny Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar entry to the occupied Palestinian territory. We are appalled, unsurprised, and ready to mobilize. Tell your member of Congress to demand to #LetThemIn AND hold Israel accountable for the racist and exclusionary policies that target Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims.

This decision is par for the course with Israel's racist and exclusionary policies. Israel has been banning entry to Palestinians since first expelling them and creating the world's most protracted refugee crisis in 1948, and discrimination against Palestinian, Arab, and/or Muslim travelers to Palestine/Israel is well-documented.

Reps. Tlaib and Omar—like the Palestinian people and people everywhere—should have the freedom to go wherever they please, whether that is to be with families and loved ones, or to inform themselves on the ground of the impact of U.S. policy on the Palestinian people, or to engage in political action in support of justice and human rights.
