Israel doesn’t back or support terrorists.

Justice Elana Kagan asked the lawyer defending the president’s travel ban to imagine the same ban if it applied to Israelis.
In her hypothetical challenge during oral arguments on President Donald Trump’s ban on travel from several Muslim majority countries, Kagan asked if a similar ban on Israelis by an antisemitic president would be constitutional.
What if “a vehement antisemite (who) says all kinds of denigrating comments about Jews” during his campaign is elected president and then issues a travel ban on Israelis, Kagan, who is Jewish, asked Noel Francisco, the solicitor general who was defending the ban, in hearings Wednesday.
Francisco said it could be legal. “If his Cabinet were to actually come to him and say, ‘Mr. President, there is honestly a national security risk here and you have to act,’ I think then that the president would be allowed to follow that advice even if in his private heart of hearts he also harbored animus,” he said.
