Well, I didn't even know whether to post this but what the hell. It is probably a far stretch here but who knows. that is why we look into the news I guess.
Pretty much everyone is protected form measles now a days right? So why issue such a warning? Is it really that big of a deal? I haven't heard of a measles outbreak in America that received this same warning in recent history.
I was thinking that maybe this is a subtle warning to Americans to not go to Israel anytime soon. With all of the things that seem to be developing militarily over there, is this an undercover way of saying that something may be happening soon? Maybe I am way off base, but if you travel over there and something goes down, don't say I didn't warn you.
