๐ฎ๐ฑ Jews Get Passports, Palestinians Get ID Cards โ Two-Tier System in Their Own Homeland Exposed
July 17, 2025
Israeli Jews carry one ID granting almost full freedom โ to live, travel, access healthcare anywhere in Israel. Palestinians? They get a patchwork of ID cards that control their every move โ where they can live, work, and even if they can see their own family.
A green card means youโre trapped in fenced enclaves surrounded by illegal settlements. A blue ID for East Jerusalem residents means residency โ not citizenship. Leave too long, and your right to return is gone forever.
Since 1967, over 14,600 Palestinians had their residency revoked. Family unification? Illegal. Love separated by invisible walls and cruel laws.
This isnโt just bureaucracy. Itโs control. Itโs apartheid.

English Script:
VO: Jewish Israelis have only one ID card with a status that grants them the rightุณ to live almost anywhere they wish in the country. They can move freely with access to health care and vast resources. Palestinians, on the other hand, have four types of ID cards, if any at all. The kind of ID card you are given determines the level of rights you can enjoy, and controls where you can go and what you can do. Whereas if you hold a green card which has a West Bank address, then you live here. This green card means you can live within specific enclaves surrounded by illegal Israeli settlements. And there’s a separation wall and fences built around you. Since 2002, this blue ID is for Palestinians in East Jerusalem. They can travel to the occupied West Bank as well as to Israel, but they are not citizens of Israel. They have only been granted a residency status. This means that they cannot vote in Israeli national elections. And if they leave East Jerusalem for too long, for example, to study or work abroad or in other parts of the occupied West Bank, their residency is revoked so they can’t return. Since 1967, Israel has revoked the residency status of more than 14,600 Palestinians for East Jerusalem. And if this complex ID system wasn’t enough to segregate the Palestinian community. In 2002, Israel introduced a law that prohibits family unification. That’s right. Denying Palestinians the right to live with their loved ones if their ID cards are different. And this woman is one of thousands of Palestinians who Israel will not issue any ID card. She can’t travel, can’t hug her family, only see the meters away across the border.
