Betrhlehem-Ma'an-The Israeli daily newspaper Ha'aretz has reported that for the first time since 1967, Israel has denied entry to the West Bank to Palestinians who possess foreign citizenship. These denials have mainly been to Palestinian-Americans who tried to return to their residences in the West Bank. This new rule was not formally declared by the Ministry of Interior and Civil Administration.

Reports say that thousands of Palestinians have been affected by this new Israeli measure, especially academics who have lived abroad since 1967.

In addition to these people, Palestinian residents of Arab states have been denied entrance since 2000 - even as visitors - despite the fact that their wives may hold Palestinian IDs.

Denying Palestinians right’s to see their home or who was born in exile with the Zionist invasion, just shows a new low on how far these people will go.

As usual Israel is repeating itself, because I happen to know in their past they have done this before; it is ironic that my own Mother told me this much.

Is it right to separate people not only from their families, but from their own country?

While I am thinking Israel with their current stance head bent on war may consider they have a security risk they are once again creating more anger against them for their refusal to humanitarian rights to the Palestinian people.

How much more humanitarian and out right degradation to the right to survival must the Palestinian people endure before the world community does anything, because the Israeli’s are the sort of people to do it to any people or country they deem a threat to their existence?

Just a little note of warning, when I was researching this article and the above article in using Israeli news sources my computer was put under attack. I am guessing, if these people consider you a threat for telling the truth they will attack your computer also; so please be careful.
