Israel wants the benefits without reciprocating.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress approved legislation Wednesday deepening U.S.-Israeli cooperation after softening a push to grant Israelis visa-free travel rights to the United States even as the Jewish state persists in blocking some Arab and Muslim Americans from its territory.

I guess you could call that a victory if you didn't read the important part of the article:
"Beyond the visa provisions, the U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act increases the value of emergency U.S. weaponry kept in Israel by $200 million, to a total of $1.8 billion. It promotes closer U.S.-Israeli links in energy, water, homeland security, alternative fuel technology and cybersecurity. It offers a verbal guarantee of Israel maintaining a qualitative military edge over its neighbors."

As a woman, I wonder if Pishy thinks it is shameful the way the women are treated in Muslim countries.

Pisher wouldn't give a flying camel chip for all the desperately hopeless women in the entire Arab/Muslim World. They don't show up on her radar and we know why.

AND the US blocks some arab and muslim from its territories, it is called immigration controls. Is it any different from Islamic nations blocking Jewish and American persons from their territories ?
