What Israeli Immigration had in Store for me as a Black African Traveller.Part 2 of 12

As a black woman, JAMAICAN, I had the same kind of concerns going into Istanbul, Turkey, but when I went to buy m th visa at a counter at in the airport (u$30 for 3mons) it took me LITERALLY 30 seconds and then I went to immigration and all she asked was, how long will you be staying? I told her 2 days and I was out in less than 1 min.... WHEN I WAS LEAVING was a whole other story, I was going to Germany and from there home to JAMAICA, the gentleman doing the check to get me on the flight decided that I was suspicious, I didn't have a visa for Germany because as a JAMAICAN I am allowed 24-48 hours in transit, I was just there to get on a flight and leave, I showed him my itinerary and he told me to have a seat to the side, he then got on his radio and started calling God knows who, for for what.... let's just say I WAS THE LAST PERSON to get on the flight AND EVEN THEN, HE CAME ON THE PLANE, delaying the flight a bit just to talk to me and check my passport AGAIN, he took pictures of EVERY PAGE, and called ahead to Germany . Happy to report no mishaps in Germany. I was coming from Ukraine where I had spent 3 months so I don't know if that affected anything (my daughter goes to university there).

[@sarahlop125]

I went to Israel but now I wish I went to Oman or Jordan, but that's okay, another time I'll go hopefully. Israel really does have a kind of settlement/colony feel, even though that can be nice and interesting and all, but it's kind of unsettling, and it's really touristy and super expensive, I got a vodka orange juice at a bar and it was like $25 USD. And the Bedouin place I went to was super touristy and fake there. But it does have Jerusalem, which although was touristy was very cool to see for sure. But Jordan has the Dead Sea, AND has Petra. I hope you have a wonderful time! Also, I went to Egypt and Bahrain. Loved those places as well.

As a middle-eastern Palestinian diaspora living in the gulf, it really sucks to see how many people misunderstand the point in these videos. As a Palestinian, I don't hold any resentment against you for visiting Israel because I know that your journey and mission has nothing to do with politics and it is your right to explore your lineage and history as an African and no one should take away your right from that. I think this maturity of thinking comes from diasporas/refugees because we deeply understand the need for exploration and understanding - even if it makes you cross a controversial countries borders. You are inspiring. Thank you for showing all of this footage and being brave enough to make these videos despite knowing how sensitive the situation is. Thank you again for being a great listener to the Palestinians you met and I wish one day that I can also visit my native Palestine and see how it feels to live among my own people.

[@GAfriq]

Definitely feel you, my Brotha! One correction, If you are Black American or African American as I define myself, and only I will define myself, no one else gets that right, you will still be treated differently from non Black travelers. I experienced that disparate treatment when entering London coming from Netherlands, and even more so leaving Ireland to come back to the US. I traveled for a medical conference. Trust me, it was ABSOLUTELY clear that British and American TSA did not see me as a physician, but as a Black man. That was very, very clear. Black Africans, as WE ALL ARE, are treated differently. Though I must say, Dutch TSA was very kind, polite and cordial, in my experience.

Israeli Airport Security is famously, notoriously - and understandably - stringent, with Ben Gurion airport considered to be the world’s safest airport as a result. My first trip they asked some personal question, I answered truthfully I had been in and out Israel many times since. I am African born in Cameroon raised in CAR I was last year in Israel on family trip we had great time. Israel is like salad you can always find someone you related to.

As an Israeli I'd like to explain everyone who goes through Ben gurion gets questioned they ask the types of questions one very general normal question second a more specific question then a third random but usually very personal question this third question is just to catch you by surprise to see if you are lying in general as it is harder to answer those questions on the spot they then give you a number 1-5 and depending on your number that is how much of a "security threat" you are considered to be

[@99inshallah]

It's the Palestinians who get the full weight of questioning and interrogation, way more than any non-Palestinian black man. Arabs get way worse treatment than Africans or blacks with Christian names at the Israeli airport. You said it yourself for you it took 3 minutes in customs, for a Palestinian it's 10 plus hours interrogation and insults. But you seemed to have learned after this videoclip that Palestinians in occupied Palestine face more racism and actual apartheid than any people in the world right now including Africans.

Antonio Ramos I do not think people’s comments that you’re reading are concerning the immigration even though, as some have said here, it often goes badly in the airport. People are referring more so to Israel itself as racist. The fact that they simply took land that did not belong to them whatsoever. Look it up, Israel was just “made up” out of thin air merely 60 years ago. During South Africa’s Apartheid, many people claimed that it was normal and the black people were just crying victim blah blah just like they’re now doing the Palestinians. Just boggles the mind how many people are simply not decent human beings.

As an Afican American my goals are the continent of Africa. But Africans are trying to leave. I get it, mostly about finances. Go see the world, make some dividends, but go back home where your people need you to continue to build your nation's. But again, what's in Israel? I'd rather invest my money in visits to african nations because it's most needed there, and I would learn so much more.

I agree but afro Americans have a hard time traveling to sometimes I went to Israel in 2018 for pilgrimage and we denied they acted like my passport wasn't me and kept asking if I was Sudanese I think now blacks are unfairly treated all around the world thanks for the video glad to see you made it in

We went to Israel about 12 years ago. The immigration officer wanted to stamp our passports as we intended to travel to Arab countries. I asked him not to. He acquiesced but looked aggrieved and insulted. We loved Israel but not sure we would go there now.

[@visualpoet1]

@P SG No more stamping on the passport

[@AloysiusdeWit-xk8oz]

Israel as a rule has not been stamping passports for the last 40 years.

I'm black (good for me right) an African American who's lineage is straight off the slave ships. I grew up in the middle east and traveled a lot. Back in the day I was arrested in the airport in Seattle and put in hand cuffs walked trough the airport and put in a police car and driven to a local hospital to have my stomach x-rayed without being read my Miranda rights or anything on the suspicion of being a drug mule simply because I had Imodium Ad for food poisoning needless to say they found no heroin balloons in my stomach. I had no criminal record So this is not entirely true. I was coming back to my own country and this is what happened. I did commit the crime of being black while travelling.

You could be absolutely right about your comments about your color or that of the Africans for that matter and yes true of the double ` top of being Muslim. Having said that , however, you are most popular among the white women, if do not know it take my word, I witnessed black men swarmed by white girls like flies.

[@yowifeinmydm1609]

Arriving there they also asked about my dads name and I'm a 18 year old German. Furthermore they wanted to know where I'm going at ( my girlfriend) and then even the city and address. He even just went away with my passport and came back 15 mins later with another worker, they really seemed to have a problem with me. On my flight back it was even worse. Just on the security checks for flights to Germany they controlled every single detail themselves. So they inspected every single thing in your bag ( clothes, food, even gum or my charger) if it's a bomb🤦🏽‍♂️ They needed for 12 people nearly one hour and had 2 security check lines and at least 6 workers on it. Luckily after the security check I just got away but others needed to stay and got asked a lot of questions. So I don't think it's because of the race they just do it with anyone.

[@visualpoet1]

@about DeTox I did not say I went through gruesome check, I said I was worried about gruesome check which never happened, instead I got a surprising DAD'S question and was in & out of the immigration in less than 3 minutes. Nothing was said from me about Israeli customs racist treatment in this particular video. Watch it again! Thanks for the comment

[@yowifeinmydm1609]

Maryam IM In my opinion it is multicultural but still I saw deep rooted antipathy to non-jewish people. But I also saw heart welcoming people which were happy about my stay in Tel Aviv. Still it's hard to evaluate because I'm Christian and to be honest as a Moslem I wouldn't visit the country. I really felt their hate towards Arabic people but also because of their ignorance and the manipulated news

Your account is fascinating, I've experienced the same anxiety as an African woman (born, raised and only ever lived in Britain) who likes to travel. Top 3 worse countries for airport security are, in no particular order,: 1. USA 2. Mauritius 3. Turkey, but second time in Istanbul was fine. I always give a thought to how much worse I'd be treated if i had an African passport.

Yeah I travelled there years ago when I was 18 with a friend and how naive we were. It all started on the plane the frostiness and side eyed looks and the people pushing past us until a few others asked the people to stop. It turned out that we were on an Air Elat flight and we didn't know when we realised we just laughed and thought it was funny. Then my friend, like me who is Muslim has the family name Bin Israel caused confusion and the questioning............... We were asked those very same questions, tbh when I have travelled to other ME countries on a British Passport they do the same thing because they want to find out where you are originally from. It's more about security in Israel rather than being something personal - although I do find they confuse being an illegal immigrant is equated to 'black African' as a lot of their illegal immigrants come from this region. Be prepared for 'fun' questioning on the way out. I think the more black africans travel the less likely this will happen so it is good what you are doing. Most of the world still equates all of Africa with poverty porn and 'little Amina's empty food bowl' in time this narrative will change and Africans need to be at the forefront of that.
