Visa for David Ben-Ariel

David Ben-Ariel
Toledo, OH

April 27, 2005

Dear Senator DeWine,

The Israeli embassy informed your office years ago that I wouldn't be "eligible for a visa until 2005."

Here we are - NINE YEARS LATER! Can you believe it? And, God knows, my love of Israel is just as strong, and my innocence just as sure, as they
surely know.

Please use your good office to assist your constituent in obtaining the necessary visa that I may return to visit Israel without complications or detention at the airport due to any unnecessary confusion.

I yearn to return to Zion and truly miss the Holy Land, having lived throughout it, serving on eight kibbutzim, as well as living in Jerusalem, Israel's eternal capital.

Sincerely,

David Ben-Ariel

Should an alleged "EXPIRED VISA" put you on a terrorist list? It's because of foolishness like this, going after clearly innocent people, that enable the Arab terrorists to continue to get away with murder.
