A month ago, I said goodbye to my newly-wedded husband @JackDodson without knowing when we were going to see each other again. I'm a Palestinian citizen of Israel, he’s American. A thread re #FortressIsrael:
When we landed at Ben Gurion airport, I made the mistake of telling the passport control agent that Jack and I are a couple, and that we intended on getting married. “Have you started his immigration process at the ministry?” she asked.
I explained that we were told by a senior official at the Ministry of Interior to get married first, and only then begin the immigration process. Also, since there’s no civil marriage in Israel, we were entirely dependent on the church to start the process.
