In case you don’t know dear Lena, you do not simply show your passport. You show your passport and they issue you a tourist visa . That tourist visa paper says you can stay there for upto 3 months but YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK ANYWHERE.
In other words they are actually forcing you to recognise what they ‘ve done to you, the stealing of your Lands and properties, and your ethnic cleansing.
Unless you have some real good TC friends to meet, who themselves oppose the occupation regime, crossing to the occupied is a disgrace and a waste of time.
My TC friends also don’t like showing an ID, but at least they understand that’s necessary to distinguish them from settlers. Us the GCs undergo a real disgrace, I can hardly swallow it each time I have to do it.
