Th...Raging, be very careful with your expired visa. There are two scenarios that can play out:<br />1. Once you exit Palestine, that's it. You won't be allowed back in for a LONG time. If ever.<br />2. You can apply to the Israeli Ministry of Interior to extend your visa. I know one case where a Palestinian American girl was successful. However, she was only half Pali and half something foreign.<br /><br />If you're not going to renew, take advantage and explore, take tons of pics, visit everywhere that you can. To be honest, you may not be allowed in.

Unfortunately for me, I was denied entry on my last attempt. My passport was stamped with a bold red "Denied Entry" in three languages. I was told that I was not allowed to enter "Israel" (Palestine! My homeland) for five years! The reason? Security. It was the most devastating and disappointing experience of my life. I tried to cross again a few days later at the Sheikh Hussein bridge near Irbid. This time I wasn't alone, I was with two older (60s) family members with European passports. They were allowed in. All I was allowed was another "Denied Entry" stamp and a seat in the interrogation room for four hours. To add insult to frustration the Jordanians interrogated me for two hours upon my reentry in Jordan. They were perplexed as to how I was denied entry twice in one week. Apparently a "threat" to Israel is a threat to the Hashemite Kingdom. Its been exactly two years this April. Three years and counting...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
