Denied Entry

See Full Film Here: http://www.booserver.com/projects.php...

Thousands of Palestinians who hold a foreign passport and have a legal right to return to their homeland are being denied entry by Israel. As an occupying force, Israel has the duty to allow the population to move freely but its control of the checkpoints remains absolute and unchallenged. This film highlights the plight of Palestinian families torn apart by this arbitrary policy.

Israel is not a democracy. Its a democracy for Jews as South Africa was a democracy for whites. Akram is an American of Palestinian heritage. When he decided to settle down in Palestine with his family, he got caught in an absurd and painful dispute with Israels immigration authorities. I was denied entry and had to spend two months in Egypt away from my family. After a bitter fight, he eventually obtained a temporary visa. But hes been left in a precarious situation and could be deported at any time. Its a bureaucratic evil. The people are not evil but the system is.

terrorist state israel. In reality, if they are cut off United States aid & money they are nothing---they are nothing, yes they are nothing, indeed they are so coward, they can only kill civilians. That day is coming, sooner or later, people in America will wake up and find out the lies and stealing of their tax dollars by zionists. Be patient my friends, zionist will be defeated .

The Palestinians are upset that the separation/defense barrier has cut down on their major export: suicide bombings, terror attacks, etc.

Are you aware that the Egyptian government just stripped away the citizenship of 30,000 Egyptians who are married to Israelis?
