Israel has accused the United States of bias and rewarding terrorism after the State Department urged Americans visiting Eilat to exercise caution following a rocket attack on the Red Sea resort.

Israel's tourism ministry on Sunday said it was angered because the State Department had not issued a separate advisory warning of similar dangers in the nearby Jordanian city of Aqaba.

Suspected Islamist militants last week fired five rockets on Eilat, Israel's only city on the Red Sea, one of which went astray and killed a Jordanian national in Aqaba, which lies on the other side of the bay. There were no casualties in Eilat, where the only rocket to hit the city landed on open ground.

The State Department CAN'T DO THAT!!! What is the Israeli Tourism Ministry thinking? That will interfere with Obama's "bridge building" and "outreach" program.
