  • 'Do you feel more Arab or more American?': Two women's story of being detained and interrogated at Ben Gurion
    • Instead of being buried in a blog, this story needs to make it out to US and European media outlets, as contacting US representatives would likely be useless. Anybody got connections in the media world?

      As a response to some of the comments:
      1) Comparing how the US and Israel treat incoming foreigners doesn't strengthen Israel's case or justify its actions. The TSA is infamous for its blunders, and the US isn't the best model for democracy anymore.
      2) Certain Arab countries denying entry to ANYONE with an Israeli passport or stamp isn't the same as targeting and discriminating against a particular group of citizens of a "friendly" nation such as the US. No Arab state I know of denies entry to Jews based on their religion.
      3) Read Jim Zogby's article: link to huffingtonpost.com

      Again, if this incident happened in any other place besides Israel, the media and the State Department will be all over it right now. Shame on America for supporting such regime.
