  1. Debating Israeli airport security and racial profiling

    More than 40 readers sent letters to the editor in response to George Bisharat's April 28 <a href=&quot;http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-bisharat-boxer-bad-israel-policy-20130428,0,3094847.story">Op-Ed article</a> on a bill to include Israel in the U.S. visa waiver program. Bisharat, an American law professor and a pro-Palestinian activist who has traveled several times through Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport, said the legislation would allow Israel to continue its racial profiling of U.S. citizens who are Muslim or of Arabic descent.

  2. Don't let Israel discriminate against Americans based on religion

    A bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate that would allow a foreign country, Israel, to discriminate against select groups of American citizens &mdash; including Americans who have expressed criticism of its policies. Disappointingly, the bill, S.B. 462 (also known as the U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013), is co-sponsored by Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin. Those who stand to be most affected by this piece of legislation are Arab Americans and Muslim Americans. However, it may also apply to individuals who wish to visit or work in Israel and/or the Palestinian territories that Israel has occupied since 1967. It would enshrine into U.S. law a provision allowing another country to discriminate against Americans based on their ethnicity or religion.

    NEVE ZOHAR, Israel &#8212; Try not to splash. That's not the usual recommendation for a seaside vacation, but Israel's Dead Sea is like no other beach resort. Unique it is, with a salt and mineral content upward of 30 percent, which is why you need to pay attention to Rule No. 1.
