After completing a degree in religion I lived in Amman, Jordan for a year and a half. Even though Amman is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the Holy Lands, my first visit to Israel did not come until I was returning home to America. It was actually just a seven-hour layover at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv- I didn't even leave the airport. I knew that security would be tight at the Tel Aviv airport, I just had no idea that I was soon to become another victim of Israel's human rights' violations.
When I landed in Tel Aviv I asked a security guard where I needed to go to make a connecting flight. He did not answer, so I figured that there might be a language barrier. I repeated my question, slowly, using lots of hand gestures. He just looked at me. I also speak Arabic, and all of the signs at the Ben Gurion Airport are in both Arabic and Hebrew, so I asked if he speaks Arabic.

* it's great fun
* my students really like it
* it has many cool uses
* you can embed it in your blog or website or e-mail it to someone"
