Zionism is Racism. Today a friend of mine currently in the West Bank emailed me and complained how she, as a Palestinian, is prevented from visiting the Dead Sea. I recalled reading an article about that a month ago..
"The petition says that the Israeli military is using the Beit Ha'arava checkpoint on Route 90 – the only open access route in the occupied West Bank for travel to the Dead Sea – to turn back Palestinians, mainly but not exclusively on weekends and Jewish holidays. Acri says that the ban is to appease Israeli settlers operating concessions along the Dead Sea's northern shore. They fear losing Jewish customers if there are large numbers of Arabs using the beaches in territory seized by Israel during the Six Day War in 1967"
