Israel has made an official request to the United States to do away with current visa restrictions for Israeli citizens wishing to visit.
The request came from Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit, filed with America’s Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.
Chertoff indicated the matter will be discussed but first and foremost, Israel would be compelled to change over to biometric passports since the current passports are too easy to forge.
Sheetrit has been spearheading efforts to eliminate the current identity cards and passports, both easily forged since they do not incorporate any of the recent high-tech advances intended to eliminate unauthorized replication of the official documents.

If the State Department eliminates visa restrictions, it may mean more Jews would be in the U.S. something that the Anti-Semites at Foggy Bottom would find unacceptable.
and it means all the israeli arabs can come too
