Palestine, August 15, 2009, (Pal Telegraph) - Travelling to Jordan from the West Bank takes two hours directly by car. My father tells me that, before 1967, he used to go to Amman from Jerusalem early morning, see the family and do some business and get back the same day or late night. However, today, and due to Israeli inhuman measures, it takes very long hours reaching to 8-12 hours of humiliation and suffering, as if one is travelling to Thailand by plane.
There is no reason why Palestinians living in the West Bank cannot travel to Jordan using their own cars!
Palestinian Jerusalemites can travel to Jordan using their own cars. But the stupidity of the Israeli measures is that they force Jerusalemites to go to Tiberia through Sheikh Husein Bridge in order to go to Amman, which is 400 additional kilometers, in addition to the high costs. There is no reason why Jerusalemites cannot travel to Jordan using Allenby/King Husein Bridge!
Today, a Palestinian living in any city in the West Bank has to wake up at 1:00am or may not sleep that night, in order to reach the Bridge early. If you live in Jericho, you can see West Bank cars travelling to the bridge around 2:00 or 3:00am. However, the Bridge does not open until 8:00am, meaning that people go early only to reserve a place in order to be able to enter the bridge that day. This is for normal people and does not apply to ministers or PA officials who have special VIP treatment and do not have to go through the suffering that normal people do.
