video | Former US Congresswoman Cory Bush says Israel revoked her visa before traveling to the West Bank Former US Representative Cory Bush announced earlier today that Israeli authorities revoked her entry visa, preventing her from boarding a flight scheduled to travel from Newark to Tel Aviv. In a video statement posted to social media from the airport, Bush explained that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers flagged a problem with her documentation at the security checkpoint before confirming that her Israeli visa had been revoked. In response to the ban, Bush mocked self-proclaimed Democratic Tel Avivians, writing, “They canceled my visa? Not the 'only' democracy in the Middle East? This is still free Palestine from wherever I am. The former Missouri lawmaker, who was recently registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) to conduct fact-finding missions in the West Bank, attributed the cancellation directly to her vocal criticism of Israeli military operations and American taxpayer funding to Tel Aviv. "Because I talked about the horrors that happen to people," Bush declared, challenging the Israeli authorities for banning international observers from witnessing the conditions in the occupied territory. "If people talk about what you are doing in the West Bank as a problem, then the problem is that you are doing wrong in the West Bank. ".
