The Biden administration shows its true attitude toward Israel yet again, Otherizing and dehumanizing them. Israelis have been going back and forth to America with very few problems since before the country existed — why now the sudden concern that they are all dangerous criminals? [IsraelTimes] The United States has reportedly toughened its stance toward Israel in talks for a potential visa waiver agreement that would allow Israelis to travel to the US without a visa.According to Channel 12 news, as part of the long-held talks, Washington has previously demanded that the criminal record of 1,000 visa waiver applicants be randomly selected and sent to American authorities, with Israel agreeing. But a few weeks, ago, the unsourced report says, the US updated this demand to many thousands or even tens of thousands of applicants, with National Security Ministry Itamar Ben Gvir asking for clarifications on what the criminal records will be used for. |

| #2 Actually, they should be doing this for everyone, from everywhere. But the US State Dept is dedicated to the notion that they don't need to do any work, except for luncheons and dinners. |

| #1 No problem, just walk on in over the Texas border like all the immigrants who have been so carefully screened by the Biden administration. Close allies like the Israeli's must be carefully screened for criminal behavior, but 3rd world flotsam and jetsom are no risk, except for the STDs, MS-13, CCP soldiers, jihadi's, Cartel recruits, Cuban and Nicaraguan spies, and the occasional Iranian demolition experts! |
