Since the foiled underpants bomber on Christmas, advocates and
friends of Israel as well as media talking heads have all argued that
Israeli security techniques should be applied in the United States to
make us all safe. Israeli Security agencies claim their sole airport
had no airport security breach since 2002 when a passenger managed to
take a firearm into a flight. CNN
did a special on Israel behavioral profiling, bloggers are already
bragging about how Israel airport security techniques can save the day
and keep us all safe, “What Can Israel Teach the U.S. About Airport Security?” wrote Allison Kaplan Sommer. David Harris wrote “What Israel Can Teach the World About Airport Security”.
Those articles had to be written by individuals who the luxury to use
Israel’s only International airport Ben-Gurion, while Israel continues
to deny Most Palestinians, the majority of Arabs and all citizens of
Muslim nations from using their airport even for a transit.
Discriminating against people and using collective punishment is the
only way Israel survives and not because they are more intelligent than
the hard working American security agencies. The few Palestinians who
use the airport (mostly Jerusalem residence, and foreign passport
holders) vow to never use Israel’s airports for the humiliation and
mistreatment they are greeted with. The few Palestinians permitted to
use the airport are always assigned a security escort that shadows them
during their time at the Israeli airport and that’s one aspect of the
brutal security at Ben-Gurion that Palestinians have to live with.
Unlike Israel, the States has tens of airports and a dozen of
international airports as well as a little timeless document called the
constitution that has established checks and balance. There are also
things like civil and human rights that Israel has little regards to.
While those practices certainly keep Israel safer, they are also bad
for business as Israeli airports loses a lot of business for those
discriminatory practices. Israel stops at nothing to address the
symptoms of the deices rather than the actual disease itself–their
illegal occupation. Israel fails to see that the real problem in its
security is not in what we have in our underpants and shoes, it is what
we have in our minds.
But while that’s just my opinion, here is the shocker that gives the
Israeli cheerleaders the Middle finger. Schiphol, Holland, is the
airport where Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab boarded the Airbus 330 heading
for Detroit is actually under a contract with an Israeli security
company ICTS to provide security and screening. According to a [Yeshiva World News] news story
it is an Israeli company that is in charge of security at the Holland
airport was established in 1982 and today employs 11,000 security
personnel in 22 countries.
So all of you dogmatic right wingers and
forgetful liberals put that in your pipe and smoke on it for awhile.
