49. Seems a trick question when you ask is it making people MORE antisemitic

Sunday

I have a young relative who visited Israel with his probable wife to be and they cannot get home due to travel restrictions. But I feel like they were so out of touch with the current situation to be going there in the first place, like it has nothing to do with them. I am appalled at that

Reconsider travel due to terrorism, and civil unrest.

The security situation in Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is unpredictable, and U.S. citizens are reminded to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness as security incidents, including mortar and rocket fire and armed UAV intrusions and missiles, can take place without warning.
