    “The Department of State recommends that U.S. citizens consider the deferral of non-essential travel to Israel and the West Bank and reaffirms the longstanding strong warning to U.S. citizens against any travel to the Gaza Strip,” the State Department said, adding the warning replaced a previous one issued on Feb. 3.

    “The security environment remains complex in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, and U.S. citizens need to be aware of the risks of travel to these areas because of the current conflict between Hamas and Israel,” the statement added.

    Due to the deteriorating situation and public health hazards, travel advisories have been issued for the following shooting galleries.
    Detroit, Chicago, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, every border town in Texas, and the slum behind the White House.

    This is the same State Dept., which was against the admittance of Jewish refugees to the USA, during World War Two; it was also against the partition of Palestine, and the recognition of Israel. Fortunately, President Harry Truman disagreed with them. He referred to them as “the striped pants boys”. I think that it is safer to visit EY, than it is to travel in certain areas of the USA, where there are drive by shootings, robberies, homicides, assaults, carjackings, etc. Incidentally, the State Dept. also warned us not to visit EY during the Six Day War, and the Yom Kippur War. It was the the State Dept., whose incompetent employees failed to properly investigate the 9/11 hijackers, and issued them visas to enter the USA.

    The agenda is clear, demonize Israel, then demonize Jews.
