From Jordan they call it Malik Hussein Bridge. From here – Allenby checkpoint.

Where is the river? No river. All water to the Dead Sea comes from Tiberias. But as some proud Isreali said, we take a shower three times a day, not like uncivilised Palestinians, Israelis need a lot of water to wash themselves, their cars, and their sins. No Jordan river. Visit Dead Sea now, since it will not exist in couple of years.

Where is Cyprus? Elena explains, it is just there, you just have to swim and you will come to Cyprus. The woman on checking the passports seems to be ignorant of the existance of Cyprus and Lithuania. Never mind. But it gets really strange, when people dont know, where is Ramallah, when it is 15 km away.

Manar explains to us later, that the pine trees did not grow here before. The Isrealis brought their view of nature from Europe. They planted pine trees on destroyed Palestinian villages. This is how you can tell where they were. And they seem to have brought their survival strategy – ghettos. Which is under big proof in the Middle East.

Israelis dont seem to know the music of Fairuz or get a notion of what can be the magic of the Arab world. Israel is a ghetto in the middle of the Middle East.

Sagi is an absolute exception. He asked to live with Arabs in the University dormitory. He learned Arabic and traveled Egypt. This country does not support too much tolerance, I wonder what will be with Sagi. Such as the Knesset member Bishara, trying to call for more equality between the Jewish and Arab Israelis do notc survive here long.

It took us 4 hours to pass the boarder. Do I know anyone there? No. What is my parents number? No parents, but you can call my ex, if you want. Why dont you have a mobile? Because it is expensive. Can I see your bank cards? How much money do you have in all your accounts?

There was this guy from Ramallah. He lives in New York. His wife and a child are still in Ramallah. He was trying to visit them some time ago. They sent him back. This time he is more lucky. They let him go. But only for 1 month instead of 3 that he asked for.

We are inside. King Hussein bridge turned to Allenby.
