I have a Palestinian friend, his origin from Jerusalem, living in the west bank, he never been in jail, he never hurt any Israeli, his wish is to visit Jerusalem, which is 6 kilometer only a way from his house. But he is not allowed, like all the Palestinians.. Mean while any body from any part of the world can visit Jerusalem- except its own people…. That is what is so called "Israel"
The question is, do you have any idea how he can visit Jerusalem even as a tourist?

Not sure what your trying to do here but you have it wrong--your friend can go to Jerusalem as many Palestinians do everyday.
My guide was Palestinian--the cab driver was Palestinian and I could go on.
In fact--East Jerusalem is Palestinian.
Have you even been to Israel?

It is a two way street. I am an American Jew. I went to Israel, and fell in love with the old city of Jerusalem--------where all the old religious places are. I went to the Temple Mount, but, as a Jew, I could not go into the Dome of the Rock or Al Aqsa. The Muslims will not allow it, of anyone, but Muslims. This is the rock of Abraham-Issac/Ishmael. It is a sacred place to me, too.
I feel for your friend, but, I felt for me, too.

Maybe when they stop blowing themselves up among the Israelis, than they will be allowed to Jerusalem. Why not?
Oh, and by the way, how come Jews were not allowed to pray at their wall before 1967? Can you tell me why?

the way you presented the matter suggest that you yourself are not allowed.
as a fact, he is allowed to visit after obtaining a pass from the authorities.
he might apply and than he can go!

try sending a letter to the government and asking for permission if there is a way to do that

Zilber is right! He can get a pass... and it looks like you were just trying to put your political views here...
