<p dir="ltr"><font size="5"><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font size="5"><font face="Times New Roman">Two years ago (in
March 2006) it became evident that more and more people with foreign passports
(of Palestinian descent and other) were being denied entry and re-entry into
the Occupied Palestinian Territory.<span> </span>The situation not only
continues, but has worsened this year.<span> </span></font></font></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><font face="Times New Roman">Although
Israel maintains control over entry to the Occupied Palestinian Territory,

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><font face="Times New Roman">Thus
the decision of whether to admit or deny entry appears often to be arbitrary.<span>
</span>For example, one recent reason given for denying a film maker entry
was "you spend too much time here" (Annemarie Jacir, no. 3, below).<span>
</span>Yet no guidelines are available to indicate what "too much time" means
in actual hours, weeks, months, years.</font></span></p>

three had legitimate plans to begin or complete film projects with Palestinians
or to meet with Palestinians in the film industry.<span> </span>The work
of these three women is strictly cultural.<span> </span>One of the three
also has an aged ailing mother in the West Bank (Norma, below), which is
decidedly a humanitarian concern that should work in favor of her being allowed

On 24 April, 2008, Italian citizen Anita Mosca (not of Palestinian descent),
was denied entry at Allenby Bridge. Mosca, an actress, directress and playwright,
was to meet with a delegation from Italy headed by Campanias regional Minister
for Culture. </font></span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5">I spent days of despair
and demoralization in Amman after 24 April, due to my refusal of entry. Up
till now, I am still trying to work out how to be able to return to Palestine.
Before the first refusal I had worked with actors Palestinians three times.
Intense relationships of friendship and work relations were born. I cannot
understand what is my fault. Even though I am not Palestinian, I am living
the drama of a forced exile. Please help me, I have called the Italian embassies
in Amman and Tel Aviv, but they cannot tell me the reason, just that I must
wait for the Israeli authorities. </font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5">I know I am asking a lot.
but in the times in which we live, this attitude is too much. We can not
wait indefinitely without doing anything. I ask only to go into the occupied
Palestinian territories to promote cultural activities in schools and theatres.

<p dir="ltr"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5">3. Less than a week later,
on 30 April, Palestinian-American filmmaker, Annemarie Jacir, traveling to
the West Bank for the world premiere of her feature film "Salt of the Sea,"
was also denied entry at Allenby. Jacir's film, is slated for the Cannes
Film Festival 2008 as an Official Selection, </font></p>
<p dir="ltr"><font face="Times New Roman" size="5">The film was to be screened
in al-Ama'ri refugee camp at the invitation of the French Consulate in Jerusalem,
which supported production of the film, and the International Art Academy
in Ramallah, which was co-sponsoring the screening. Jacir has been barred
from entering the OPT for the past 9 months. As a result, shooting for one
of the main scenes of the film had to be relocated to Marseilles, France.
Jacir was held at Allenby Bridge for 6 hours and repeatedly interrogated
before she was escorted by two of the agents out of the terminal and onto
a bus back to Jordan. Jacir was informed that the Israeli Ministry of Interior
had denied her entry </font></p>

</span>נראות לעיתים קרובות כשרירותיות. לדוגמה, הסבר שניתן לאחרונה לבימאית
סרטים אמריקאית (אן-מרי ג'זיר, עדות מספר שלוש המצורפת למכתב זה) היה שהיא "שוהה
פה זמן רב מדי", ללא כל הגדרה מדויקת של מהו "זמן רב מדי".</font></font></span></p>

שתי עדויות של נשים העובדות בתעשיית הסרטים ושנמנעה מהן כניסה לשטחים ללא הסבר
ברור ומוצדק. לאף אחת מן השלוש לא ברור מדוע נאסרה כניסתה. לכולן היו תכניות
לגיטימיות להתחיל או לסיים פרויקט קולנועי בשיתוף פלשתינאים או לפגוש פלשתינאים
מתעשיית הסרטים. בנוסף, לאחת מהשלוש (נורמה מרכוס האורד) יש אם קשישה שאינה
בקו הבריאות, כך שנוסף שיקול הומניטארי שאמור היה לפעול לזכותה. כל השלוש המשיכו
בניסיונותיהן לקבל אישור כניסה, אך ללא כל הצלחה.</font></font></span></p>
