For any of you that have travelled abroad, you know quite well that your passport is your most prized possession. There’s really nothing that expedites the border control and customs process like an American passport. Yet Israel has decided for one reason or another that not all passports are created equal. If you’re American Jew, you enjoy your “birthright advantages” and won’t have any issues. Most other citizens are respected and protected. As for Arab-Americans, Israel is not recognizing their rights as citizens. This has created some horror stories that Mr. Zogby lists. In this very important article, he details why Israel’s actions are a big deal, especially when the United States is pushing very hard to normalize its relations with Arab countries in the region.
