Dance, if you want to enter the country!

An essay about an incident that took place at Ben-Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv in September 2008.

The American modern-dancer Abdur-Rahim Jackson had to dance in front of the passport control officers in order to prove his profession and to remove the officers' suspicion because of his Muslim name. The story of Jackson is followed by the difficulty I had a month earlier at my arrival at Philadelphia airport.
