As a proud American with Palestinian origin, I feel that I have the right to enter Jerusalem without the hassle of visa.

Created by T.A. on July 24, 2013

I am an American with Palestinian roots, my parents have been living in the United States for over 30 years. Before the year 2000, we used to travel to Palestine/Israel and visit the holy sites in Jerusalem and visit the beautiful beaches. After the circumstances that have happened in 2000, we lost all the privileges that we had, and now we cant enter "Israel" as we used to upon arrival, now we have to get a visa. Getting a visa is the longest process as well, you have to go to the Israeli settlement to get your record reviewed for possible red lights. After that you have to fill applications to get the visa. I have tried to do so 5 times since 2000 and still haven't had the luck to get the visa. Unfortunately, no one has addressed this issue.
