flying with love .. Ben gurion airport
It is a unique airport to be sure – everyone under suspicion – must be even worse for a Palestinian. And it has been that way since the 1970s.
People envy me for Travelling !!!! If people would just know how convenient it is to be at Ben gurion airport . Squeezed with the special number 6 number with charm. Good news.. It is not for Palestinians only… It is a number designed to suspected terrorists in a series of numbers that start from one and end at six… What happens later could be rape not sex if one would evaluate the experience … It does actually include physical intervention so the i in the six can be cordially substituted with e..
Out of my sexual thoughts and disturbances…
The best part is the really sweet inspectors or whatever they call them .. They deal with the people like retards . As if they are trained to deal with special need cases like potential terrorists among all those in the line.

I went to a Trump rally in my hijab. His supporters aren’t just racist caricatures | Kaddie Abdul
It was interesting to hear Trump and his supporters’ viewpoints for more than just the few seconds offered by most soundbites, even though I disagreed
I understood that I was a guest at their rally, and that I had a duty to them to be a good guest; in return, I felt like they were good hosts. And whether they engaged me directly or not, many of them had to acknowledge the presence of someone who disagreed with them, but who did not fit their stereotypes by being disagreeable.
Yes, what I did could have been dangerous: the Trump campaign, like many movements, has been dogged by its share of mischief makers. The thugs and bullies who have hurt other dissenters are a small, but very real, part of the ultra-nationalism that vague, implausible rhetoric like Trump’s attracts.
But it was worth the risk to me to show them that their insecurities about Muslims was unfounded. It was worth it to humanize Muslims for them. And it was worth it, to me, to recognize their humanity, too.
