OK. I am not an Israeli citizen. Thanks for that info, which is a big step in the right direction.
I too vehemently disagree with Israel's discriminatory policies regarding its non-Jewish residents. I don't remember whether
they asked me on the way in or out about being Jewish. Probably the Israeli immigration officers are the only ones on the planet that could actually identify me as such based on my last name, though. They of all people wouldn't have to ask.
