and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruninghooks:
nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree;
and none shall make them afraid

AT-TUWANI: Airport anecdote
by Rich Meyer
This summer, Israel denied entry to many travelers, so in Palestine
conversations with overseas visitors often touched on "airport stories."
One former resident of the At-Tuwani area, a Palestinian who married a
Swedish woman and has lived in Sweden for twenty-two years, told us of his
exit experience at the airport.
"After they searched all my luggage, the officer said, 'Now you need to
strip.' I said, 'You want me to take my clothes off? Why?' He said,
'Normal security procedure.' I said, 'OK, I'll undress, but not here in
this back room. I'll go out into the lobby and strip there, in front of all
the tourists, and tell everyone, "This is how they treat you when you leave
after visiting here - the officer ordered me to take my clothes off." You
can strip-search me out there.'
"The officer asked, 'You would do that?' and I said, 'Yes, I would do that.'
Then he said, 'Never mind. Take your bags and go to your plane.'"
