U.S. Criticizes Israel for PA Visitors Policy

Posted by smoothstone

It’s astonishing how the U.S. continues to impose itself on how another sovereign nation chooses to protect her own citizens from Islamic terror attacks.  From JPost via Daily Alert:

The U.S. on Tuesday criticized Israel for stamping passports of tourists intending to visit the West Bank as “Palestinian Authority only,” restricting visitors’ ability to enter Israel.

“We have let the government of Israel know that these restrictions unfairly impact Palestinian and Arab American travelers and are not acceptable,” the State Department spokesman’s office said.

Israeli officials have defended the policy as necessary to insure that individuals who pose security risks aren’t able to wander around Israel.

In the past, some foreign terrorists were able to attack Israelis after first rendezvousing with contacts in Palestinian-controlled areas.
