Question

For those who have been to Israel Do Israeli Passport control/immigration officials question travelors more so that other countries would?does the prodecure take a long time?what type of questions do they ask?

Answer 1

It depends. If you are muslim - you will be investigated, if you are coming from a poor country - you might be investigated. They can hold you in customs and check your begs for drugs if they think that you are a smuggler.

If you are white and christian/jewish and you are not coming from a poor country or an enemy country you will be ok.

Answer 2

Haven't been there, but 60 Minutes profiled it a while back.  You look Arabic, and you will be grilled.
