Jack: The law only pertains to residents on NY State, not Alabama where you live. As far as risk goes, there is a greater danger of being killed in our inner cities by random drive by shootings than in all the terrorist attacks that have taken place so far in Israel. In fact, more people die in automobile accident on USA roads that are killed in terrorist attacks in Israel. The fact that Israel was singled out over countries such as the Sudan, Liberia, & the Ivory Coast where constant civil war and genocide are taking place daily was in fact discriminatory. Also, visits to certain 3rd world nations where the sanitary facilities, and health crisis reach epidemic proportions were not taken into consideration. When was the last time anyone ever contracted Ebola or Typhoid Fever in Israel ? SOL ZELLER
