Khushbu encounters invisible barriers while crossing the Jordanian and Palestinian border:
Linked by kuffir. Join Blogbharti facebook group.At the second window, though, where I was asked for my email, home address and phone number, cell phone number, etc. So they could run a security check on me, the IDF soldier kept demanding to know if I was Arab. Your name is Arab, she says. I know this is a trick, to see if I am lying, to make me nervous. I give her a bored look and just say, ‘I’m Hindu.’ End of story. She gives me a once over for the last time, and after we have entered into multiple rapid fire questions and answers, she tells me I need to wait for my security check.
Hi,
Wow! Thanks for reading. I hope you didn’t misunderstand me about the prejudices. I was, in fact, annoyed and frustrated about the way they treat Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians and less interested in how they perceive Hindus. Does that make sense?
But you have to see it, really.
Best,
Khushbu
