To the editor:
President Trump enjoys irritating and riling people. Thus, Trump’s urging Benjamin Netanyahu to deny U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) permission to enter Israel fits his pattern of dividing and alienating people. Trump’s acolytes love his behavior.
I am not exactly sure how denying two U.S. congresswomen permission to visit Israel advances peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
The real problem is, neither do Trump nor Netanyahu. Both men are playing to their extremist, nationalistic religious bases and seem to hope that they can avoid prison by remaining in office.
