Excerpt from, “Obama’s Israel
Itinerary Includes Some Standard Stops, but Not Others’ by Mark Landler, The
New York Times, March 13, 2013:
These, and a host of other scheduling decisions, have been
made by the White House as it seeks to orchestrate every minute of Mr. Obama’s
first visit to Israel as president. But before he even departs, Mr. Obama is
confronting the reality that in a land so freighted
with symbolism, any place he chooses to visit, or not visit, can strike a
nerve.
Freight: burden
Note. I have seen the word fraught used more often than
freight in similar context.
