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

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

At every point, it felt like the border agents were trying to get me to doubt my own story of why I was visiting Jerusalem -- like they were trying to get me to break and start to believe in their line of questioning. It was horrible. I was so mad but all I wanted to do was cry. — PolitiTweet.org
