Reply #9: Not just those old enough to walk, but even [View All]

babies. I recently read an Alternet article written by an American woman married to a Palestinian, they live in San Francisco. Their son was born this summer and when he was six weeks old they took him to the West Bank so that her husband's family could see him. They all had passports. Her husband, remember, is married to an AMERICAN citizen. When it was time to leave, however, Israel would not allow her husband and her EIGHT-WEEK-OLD SON to return home with her. They were automatically deemed a "threat" simply because of their ethnicity, never mind that they were Americans and that the father hadn't even lived there for years. Guess they figure that Palestinian boys start their machine-gun training at two months old.
