US Refuses Visas to all Israeli Nuclear Scientists

[Tarc]

Is this administration finally taking some positive steps in dealing with Israel?

Ma'ariv reported today that the Israeli government was stunned when every nuclear technician at Israel's Dimona reactor who had submitted visa requests to visit the United States for ongoing university education in Physics, Chemistry and Nuclear Engineering had their visa applications summarily rejected, specifically because of their association with the Dimona reactor.

Apologies in advance for linking to knuckle-dragging swill like the americanthinker blog, but this is the only place (apart from the Hebrew original (http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART2/090/174.html?hp=0&loc=101&tmp=9022#after_maavaron) that is carrying this at the moment. There take is, predictably, ranting and raving. I take the opposite view.

3. sounds like sensationalized bull-pucky to me

not to mention that it makes little sense considering that the Weizmann Institute is located in Israel and long considered to be one of the worlds leading schools of physics
