@skinnylatte it's notable here that she doesn't even *mention* the traditional passport privilege itself, the bullshit with visa wait times, and so on. *just* the ridiculous barriers to exiting the country, most of which are Israel inflicted.
wrt the visa nonsense for most of the world, i have Indian friends in Canada who have to get a US visitor visa with a year and a half notice whereas i can just take today's train. i expect similar and worse visa issues for Palestinian passports.
