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

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

Then I was detained for 5 hours in a separate room of Arab/Palestinians (many were carrying giant water containers). Every hour a new border agent would take me aside and ask me the same questions in a hostile manner. They opened my backpack and kept asking why I packed so light. — PolitiTweet.org
