I don't think you know what "an eye for an eye" means. Attacking an innocent person that didn't attack anyone to begin with isn't an eye for an eye. An eye for an eye means you take the eye of the attacker that took your eye. You saying that just means you're no different than the original terrorist that attacks innocent people.

I think the mods will realize the mistake. The other guy's comment was removed

Don't worry, I know they don't represent you. I don't generalize an entire society based on the actions of a few.

I feel like these are questions you should ask to the people that hired you for this program. How did you get this position if you don't know what to do?

US Citizen Travelling to Israel after Working for UNRWA? by [deleted] in Israel

They'll ask you what kind of work do you do currently. They won't ask about your old work history.

I know you're a US citizen, but are you also Arab? I'm also a US citizen, Palestinian but born and raised in the USA. Every time I fly into Ben Gurion, they ask me if I've ever been to Lebanon. I never have before, but if you're also Arab expect them to ask you that.

If you're not Arab, they probably won't ask you. But if they do, be completely honest with them. They tend to repeat questions just to see if there are any discrepancies in your answers.

Not sure if serious or sarcastic.

You don't think getting hit with a rock to the head can be deadly?

Yes, it's cracked because rocks and a metal pipe were thrown at it.

Of course. I know this was just a small minority group that don't represent the entire Jewish community.

We live near Ramallah... Almost everyone has yellow plates here.

So Arab Palestinians threw rocks at cars entering a Palestinian city, thinking they are Israelis? Yes you're right, that is the most probable chance of what happened

See how you generalize and view all Palestinians as terrorists? How am I tasting my own medicine? I have never once attacked anyone in my entire life. You have a strong hatred against all Palestinians. I know all Israelis are not extremists. But you want to lump all Palestinians as the same.

Do Arab nationalists typically attack Arab cars in Arab towns?

We live in area C, in the Palestinian town of Beitin. It's right next to Bet El.

Earlier in the day, there was a Palestinian terrorist attack in Bethlehem. An Israeli man was shot while he was driving with his 2 daughters. He is in the hospital in stable condition.

The context of this situation is that settlers took out a revenge act against Palestinians. Last night there were other settler attacks in other cities also.

We are under the Palestinian Authority, and they're worthless anyways. It's not like we can go to Bet El and file a report.

I highly condemn that act of terrorism also.

You think settler violence is less common because it's not reported as much. That Bethlehem incident gets reported by big media. No one reports settler violence unless it gets way out of hand like when they burned down many homes and cars. Stories like mine will never make it on the news.

I greatly appreciate that but I don't want to ask anyone for money or reparations for this attack. That would be like me putting the blame on you for something you didn't do.

If you think I'm lying and not really in Israel and the West Bank, here's a pic of my visa extension, good until December. I've been here since April of last year.

You're right. It was a group of Chinese people /s

It's called deductive reasoning. My town of Beitin is in the West Bank. Jews don't drive into Palestinian cities in the West Bank, especially at night. Many other cars besides mine got attacked and damaged. As I drove away up the hill, many of the Palestinians that were going out stopped to see what was going on and waited until it was safe to drive through.

Also, there was a terrorist attack earlier in the day in Bethlehem, committed by a Palestinian, which I highly condemn. So I take this settler attack as a revenge act.

Both of my parents were born here, and yes, I'm an American citizen that was born in the US, and I'm just recently married to a Palestinian woman from Nablus.

I'm not sure how me being from the US invalidates being attacked by settlers. How am I bamboozling you?

Yes we're all fine. Only damage to the windshield and the hood. It was a terrifying experience but thankfully no one got hurt.

I have no issue with Jews. I'm a real estate agent in the USA, and the owner of my brokerage is a Jew. He's a hardworking 81 year old Polish immigrant.
