Right-wing American journalist Tucker Carlson and his staff were reportedly detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with an American official.
I was there years ago for a conference. I didn’t do anything weird and still, just after the metal detector, officials took my passport and interviewed me. I wasn’t a very seasoned traveller at that point, so it felt a bit scary.
Israel has a “better safe than sorry” security mentality. Pro Israel and Pro Palestine people both will acknowledge their security is intense at the airport.
I’m not so sure I agree with this.
