The children and I landed in Israel while Osama, my partner, had to fly into Jordan<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">After a year in the United States, we returned to Israel\/Palestine. This time, I decided to come out of the closet: I am Jewish, Israeli and American, and I am married to a Palestinian man, an academic from a Muslim family. We live in the metropolitan area of Ramallah\/Al Bireh with our two children, five year-old Forat and two-year old Adam. One of my children\u2019s grandfathers helped to conquer and occupy Palestine in 1967. Their other grandfather fled Palestine because of the occupation, abandoning their father, my partner, Osama. We are a loving family, and one of its members is breaking her silence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In the taxi from the airport I asked the taxi driver, a Palestinian resident of east Jerusalem, for an update on the checkpoints.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIs the Jib checkpoint open?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYes, only for entry to Ramallah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cOf course. And the DCO checkpoint?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIn both directions. But it doesn\u2019t open until 10 am for travel into Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThat\u2019s great,\u201d I said. When we left a year ago, the checkpoint was open in one direction only.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The paved streets of the Givat Zeev settlement \u2013 traffic circles, bus stops, manicured public gardens with shaded playgrounds for children \u2013 ended. We turned left toward the checkpoint. We entered the chaos of Jib, one of five villages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.btselem.org\/separation_barrier\/20061126_bir_nabala\">encircled in four directions<\/a> by the separation barrier built in the West Bank. The wall around the enclave has two tunnels allowing Palestinian cars to travel in and out. We entered through the checkpoint next to Givat Zeev, which is open to Israelis and to Palestinian workers who have permits to work in the settlements. We would leave through a tunnel underneath the wall, on the other end of the enclave, that allows access to the Ramallah metropolitan area. The other entrances and exits end in a concrete wall.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Dusty cars lined both sides of the street, leaving a single narrow lane for traffic in both directions. We drove over large potholes, jagged speed bumps that appeared without warning and small stores, some of which still bore signs in Hebrew, inviting residents of Givat Zeev to wash their cars there. We continued to the village of Bir Nabala, to the tunnel underneath the separation barrier. Above us was the continuation of Begin Road, a major Jerusalem thoroughfare. Another wall lines both sides of that highway, preventing Israeli drivers from seeing what they are driving over.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Adam slept. His hands and face were sticky from \u201chealthy chocolate\u201d \u2013 chocolate balls made of dates, walnuts, cashews and raw cocoa \u2013 that I gave him and Forat generously in order to survive the baggage claim at Ben Gurion Airport. Forat looked outside the window, sleepy and cranky. Before we left the United States, she had asked why her father wasn\u2019t traveling with us.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYou remember those people at the checkpoints, the one that have trouble sharing?\u201d I asked her in response. We hadn\u2019t talked about soldiers in a long time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In the weeks after we first arrived in the U.S., Forat had asked a lot of questions about checkpoints. \u201cDoes Baba need a permit in order to come with us to the restaurant?\u201d And: \u201cWhy isn\u2019t Baba coming with us to Cambridge? He doesn\u2019t have a permit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cHere in the United States, Baba doesn\u2019t need a permit,\u201d I would answer her. But a month ago I started to remind her that in Israel\/Palestine, there are people who have trouble sharing, and for that reason they erected checkpoints. That they allow only some people to cross. That Baba usually can\u2019t cross, because he is Palestinian, but Ima and Forat and Adam can always cross, because we are Israeli. And that Ima and Baba think that everyone should be allowed to cross.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIs Baba already in the new house?\u201d Forat asked.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cNot yet, sweetheart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">I hadn\u2019t heard from Osama, who should have landed in Jordan four hours ago. I didn\u2019t know which stage he had reached inside the \u201cbelly of the beast,\u201d as he called the Allenby Bridge border crossing between Jordan and Jericho: The interrogation by Jordanian internal security forces? Waiting for approval from the Israeli soldiers? The rubber stamp of the Palestinian Authority? As usual, because my route was predictable, I carried everything: two exhausted children, six suitcases, two carry-on bags, two \u201cpersonal items\u201d, a jogging stroller and a car seat. I hoped Osama would arrive quickly and with the emotional reserves needed to cheer up Forat and Adam.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The taxi approached the Ramallah metropolitan area. Blue skies, horizon, steep and breathtaking ascents and descents. The taxi driver watched me in the rearview mirror, listening to my conversation with Forat in Hebrew. Adam woke up. The driver took a sharp curve, and Adam immediately vomited. Stomach bile and liquefied healthy chocolate dripped from his chin and shirt.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cIt\u2019s just on my car seat,\u201d I reassured the driver. \u201cYour taxi is clean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Adam began to cry. I sang him \u201cThe Wheels on the Bus.\u201d His sobbing intensified and turned into a scream. Forat joined him: \u201cStoppp!\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">We came home.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\">This post was also published at haaretz.com on December 10, 2019:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/israeli-palestinians-jewish-coexistence-1.8232199\">https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/israel-news\/israeli-palestinians-jewish-coexistence-1.8232199<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a year abroad, we came home to Ramallah.
