A world apart
CNN's Hala Gorani writes here about her experiences traveling between the Arab world and Israel.
"I sometimes imagine traveling from New York to Atlanta, but instead of a direct flight, I imagine driving to Philadelphia, spending three hours waiting for permission to board a plane, then hopping on a flight to Miami before finally boarding a plane to Atlanta, where I might be told to wait 2 days before crossing into the city. That is the insane reality of travel in that part of the Middle East (and only for those who can move around because they have the proper documentation, visas and paperwork.)" Hala's piece accompanies Inside The Middle East |
