    The story, whose sourcing is a bit hazy, says that “Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor’s employees have told Israel’s Maariv daily that they have been having problems recently getting visas to the United States where they have for years attended seminars in Chemistry, Physics and Nuclear Engineering. They also complain of being treated in an ‘insulting manner’ by President Obama’s people. Until recently, employees of the Nuclear Research Center routinely traveled to the United States for seminars and courses.”

    But White House spokesman Bill Burton flatly denied the report of a change to U.S. visa policy.

    Notice he did not deny the story, he simply denied there was a “change” to visa policy. The policy may have “exceptions,” you know.

    What an embarrassment for Israelis and Jews and Israeli media if all they will do is increase these lousy publications of Anti-Obama conspiracy theories. The whaa, whaa, Obama Hussein is Muslim and he hates us whining will only hurt the Jewish world, not benefit it.

    How does it feel to get a pie in the face, as always the far right makes up stories.

    Please read both articles and see for yourself.
    Policy was always NOT to let in these scientists but exceptions were made. Obama is not willing to make those exceptions and therefore these scientists are not issued visas now.
    Read carefully what the white house spokesman said: “there was no change in policy” which is true. But the US which understood the importance of a strong Israel always made an exception for Israel.

    Obama defenders:

    You will be seen with egg on your face. Obama has said everything except the clear statement declaring Israel as an enemy of US. He has also said everything but the clear statement that befriends Islam, yes, the fanatic stuff, including tolerance and support of their adherence to terror. The rest of his policies are plainly anti-American, including defense, health care, and the economy. They are totally irresponsible, and they are the product of ideologies that are worse than radical. No, I’m not a “right wing nut”. I’m just a realist, and I refuse to believe the softly worded lies. I won’t accept all the platitudes Obama showered during his campaign. His rhetoric is shameful, and those who endorse it are either co-conspirators or plain fools. REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER.
