The united states has repeatedly warned about home grown terrorism - so why shouldn`t Israel error on being cautious and make sure some of the american born terrorists are not going to Israel to start their terrorism campaign???

I was just in Israel and saw only suspicious looking people being given extra caution - they question everyone if they have reason. When I crossed back to Israel at the Taba border on returning from a two day tour to Cairo, I was questioned (as a woman traveling across the border alone) I was not upset - Israel has EVERY reason to be extra cautious (I`m not even of arab origin - although they were blowing up a suspicious package right before I crossed the border so they were being extra cautious with everyone)

Most everyone in the united states suspects mexicans --- and yet they complain when Israel suspects terrorism by the arabs who have repeatedly wished for Israel`s destruction.
