The security procedures are there for a reason whether you are a member of an NGO an american or in this case a Jew.
Funnily enough how did ynet get this story?She complained to the NGO and the NGO alerted the press????If you have nothing to hide then what's the big deal.

Please go home and take care of the San Francisco homeless problems. Arabs have 640 times more land than Israel.
10. These posts are clearly from anti-Zionists
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (04.16.19)
They are obviously designed to stir up hatred against the Jewish people. Others, how else to interpret such bile.
11. I have been stopped before annoying but that's all
zionist forever   (04.16.19)
I live in Israel, hold both British & Israeli passports, speak Hebrew and am not a member of any political NGO and I do not look like an arab but I have been stopped at BGA before. Third degree questioning followed by being taken in the back and stripped to my underwear and then having my hand luggage put in the hold.
My wife was at Eilat airport once before we met and the security stopped her started asking questions like how did she know how to use the bus in Israel and in the end they only let up because she lost her temper told them how her father was an IDF General and commanding armoured vehicles in 1973.

Fact is at the airport people get stopped all the time for many reasons but when it happens to you then you feel like your the only one and your being discriminated and the people who are connected to political NGOS etc like to go to the media about it let the world know what an evil country Israel is.
Instead of complaining they should be grateful security are being alert because the next person taken aside could be a terrorist on that woman's flight and the same security who interrogated her interrogated and stopped a terrosist potentially saving her life.
12. San Francisco-based Jewish Leftist...
Chuh-chuh-ching! ,   Not San Fran   (04.16.19)
just had a reality check. Yes, in some countries, "security" actually means something.

Now fly home to your beloved San Francisco and take heavy doses of your antidepressants. This too shall pass.

And don't ever come back.
13. She, a virulent enemy has NO understanding of the ME
Robert ,   Los Angeles   (04.16.19)
Mainly that all those who surround Israel want to slaughter every Jewish man, woman and child. Unfortunately, there is an element within the state of Israel that seeks the destruction of Israel. This element is supported by Americans who do not have any understanding of the ME neighborhood and territorial reality. They hate Israel and are the enemies of Israel. Their American type reasoning does not apply to the ME or Israel on 0.1% of the landmass surrounded by vile dictatorships, autocracies and pseudo-democracies occupying 99.9% of the land. Why don't you ask the ethnic minorities in Arab states what their lives are like? Why don't you ask gays what their lives in Arab states are like? Why don't you ask them why do they run for their lives to the Jewish state of Israel rather than a brotherly Arab state? It is comical when the South Africans invoke their past when they compare themselves to Israel. Take a look how they live. They live behind the barbed wire fences with dogs and security personnel to remain alive. They are afraid to drive at night. You call that freedom? They are miserable! Yet, the world has the audacity to tell Jews how to survive among the enemies. It is the same world that stood idly by when Jews were forced out of their homes and put on trains to Auschwitz.
14. CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (04.16.19)
The road to hell is paved with good intentions ...( and naive women )
15. Disgusting
(04.17.19)
No other word will suffice.
16. Turning breadbaskets into shit-holes
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (04.17.19)
This misguided fool needs to go to Zimbabwe and South Africa to witness the fruits of democracy she fought so hard to achieve.
And on the way she should stop off in Paris and Dubai to meet with the men who stole the trillions of Dollars that belong to the poor innocent impoverished people who are much worse off than before thanks to this moron and her ilk
Send the bitch back to were she came from and if possible with a carrot up her ass
17. I assume that everyone that is upset about this...
Ariks   (04.17.19)
is equally upset about pro-israel activist Avi Yemini denied entry to the US because of a smear campaign againgst him by Jim Jeffries?
18. Israel government's growing paranoia
Norman Silbert ,   Kfar Saba   (04.17.19)
Having grown up in apartheid South Africa the tactics that the government is using to harass and "observe" citizens and visitors who, god forbid, may not agree with their politics, is starting to echo the SA nationalist government. Are people going to start "disappearing" next?
19. Ignorance is bliss
Stan ,   Israel   (04.17.19)
It seems that you people who in the past understood very little about Israel, have reached a stage during the Trump era when you know even less. Did any of you bother to read up in Google about the Abraham initiatives. Your racism is sickening. Your comments remind me about how non-Jews used to write about Jews. You are all a bunch of idiots who know nothing about Israel and about Israeli society. For example the Israeli police force which can in no way be accused of being leftist, is now trying to enlist the Arab population to help them reduce the amount of crime in Arab cities and towns. The Abraham initiatives is helping in this effort.
Recently our Prime Minister promised that Israel will invest 15 billion shekels to improve living conditions In Arab towns and villages. The government understands that the Arab minority which is now more than 20% of the population must be integrated into Israeli society. ( All this while you idiots are still living in the 19th century)
Arab women in Israel are advancing at a much greater pace than the men. There are today more Arab women in our universities than there are Arab men. Arab society has changed tremendously since I first came to Israel almost 60 years ago. If there was a situation that suddenly all the Arabs would disappear,, most hospitals would cease to operate. The building industry would grind to a halt. There would be almost no pharmacists in Israel. Not to mention many other spheres of economic activity.
I know that I am wasting my time telling you all this, but maybe a little of this will sink in, and maybe some of you will become better people.

20. USA has 100,000s of citizens with no voting rights...
(11.27.19)
Maybe start at home when preaching equality.
