Life In The Middle East.

Life is very different in the Middle East. Due to the high tension area there is a lot of segregation among people, the most notable is the Jewish religion vs the Palestinians. Each thinks that this area is there holy land and that all the land there belongs to them. Well the problem with this is people are being kicked out of there land even if they have the dead to the lot or property. They need to set up military check points in many spots between the to counties and you need special permitting and documents just to travel say 20 miles. This makes finding work seeing family every thing a large problem. Many people will "look suspicious" and not make it through the check point this is a regular thing and they will just be kicked out of the car and told to walk home. This in my mind is a big reason why some people are upset they feel like they cant even get to the other part of the country. As if every time we rode the bus we would need our passport and say a school document that would let us go to arrowhead and getting to school and home would be a 3 hour event. The other thing is the judicial system in these countries are so bad they can lock people up for life almost without ever charging or committing a crime. People can be labeled as "high risk and taken away to almost never see there families. This makes everyone feel uneasy to the point that the men will carry a M16 to say a volleyball game among 12 year kids. Or a track and field events among 12 year old kids also.

There is segregation among the same people the pair of twins couldn't stand there fellow Jewish fallows they say that they are scary and they don't want to be seen as one of them. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to be seen as one of the crazy Jesus people that go around trying to get everyone to believe in Jesus and praying that he will send the miracle of a parking spot towards the door at the mall. The other problem is everyone is forced to join the military except the supper Jewish followers. These are all reasons for high tension among the same group of people.
