RAMALLAH, March 26 (JMCC) - Jerusalem resident Aziz Abu Sarah describes the insulting treatment he has received traveling through Israel's main airport - and how pleased he is that Israel's Supreme Court is reviewing the situation.
For me, this is not something I simply read about in the newspaper — being a Palestinian resident of Jerusalem and a frequent business flyer I regularly experience discrimination at Ben Gurion. This discrimination takes a variety of forms, from extra security checks and humiliating requests such as taking off undershirts and pants to invasive personal questions about my relationships that have nothing to do with security.
