    I raised this same question at briefings for many years.

    It’s a horrendous policy. I can fly to/from Ben Gurion but my American-born Palestinian wife cannot. I can freely travel in & through Israel or Jerusalem while my wife cannot. The State Dept is aware of this flagrant discrimination against US citizens but does nothing.

    You know what would actually be "righteous"? Accountability. You want to uphold an "international rules based order"? How about actual legal consequences for ending these people's lives.
