US said to toughen stance in Israel visa waiver talks, demanding applicants’ criminal records
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.
