I told the Israeli border agents that I was with an American study abroad group and that I was an American citizen -- and that I wasn't Arab. My friends affirmed this. The border agents shouted "Wrong line!" and pointed to the Arab line. — PolitiTweet.org

During a study abroad program, I took a bus from Jordan to Jerusalem alongside 7 (white American) students. When we got to the Israeli border, Israeli border agents told me I was in the wrong line (which was all white people) and pointed to a separate line that had only Arabs. — PolitiTweet.org

The separate line took forever. Once I got there, the Israeli border agent asked me a bunch of questions: Why did I pack so light? What was my grandfather's first and last name? How often do I call relatives in Pakistan? Why didn't I speak Arabic even though my name is Arabic? — PolitiTweet.org
