Life in Israel

I think that I have mentioned it before I did move from San Francisco nearly 2-years ago, with my son Raphael and at that time my wife Stephanie. We came here due to that she is Jewish and wanted to bring our son up here. I got a work permit 2 months later and started to work. I am Christian which means that here our marriage is not really recognized by the Rabbi es, whom are quite strong in Israel. Last June 06 I moved out (or was kick out) off our apartmen in Tel Aviv, by my wonderful ex- wife and suddenly my work situation since than have changed. Right now I can not get a work permit because I am Christian ( thank you for what Danish people as my grandfather did for Jewish people during and just after the 2nd world war in Denmark) and Danish even though that my son is here and is Jewish and I have never asked for any support from the Government. I have always been working and supporting myself. Right now my ex- is claiming NIS 4000,- per month in child support (neally USD 1000,-) and in payment for 1/2 her expenses for rent, which is around 3 times more as normal. The normal amount is NIS 1400,- per month. She is the one asking for a divorce (and she will get it but on my terms as well) I hired a lawyer and she has been laughing and telling me that she can claim USD 1 Million per month but it is not going to happen. I have always consider her as a cleave person, but slowly I started doubting. She is American, maybe the system is different but this is Israel. She contacted the Interior Ministry and made sure that I can not work legally in Israel and at the same time she is claiming 3 times of what is normal, of cause I am a fucking Christian ( which I heard before) that does not really understand that kind of logic. Of cause she is all the time doing what is best for her son, ( oh yet she has often been telling me that it is her son and not mine) properly again some kind of differences between been Jewish and Christian) So now I am here as a Visitor with no right to work. I have been telling the police men and women that a couple of weeks ago came to pick me up outside the Old Jaffa Hostel because I on the 26th June showed up at her front door with a court order that she could not take my son out of the country, when we are going though a divorce. ( she have a couple of time before leaving been telling me that she want to settle down with her parents)I need her to sign, which she of cause refused and called the police and oh yes I nearly forgot some e-mail I have been sending asking her if my son is here in the country or not and how he is doing, which is of cause didn't respond on, after all she is the Jewish mother and if you are Christian father you have no right here in Israel what so ever, even though you have a Jewish son, which is mine. I am SO ashamed of being Danish and to know that my Christian people in Denmark help a lot of Jewish people out of Denmark during 2nd World War, we should never have risked our life for people like that.

I went to a meeting on 20.05.2007 to file for and ID and a work permit and was sitting in front of a Jewish counselor, with all my papers in order due to have been in the same office maybe 3 -4 times over the last 6 -12 months. The women told me that the Interior Ministry was going to send my file to Jerusalem and in 2 months I would by mail recieve and answer. My, at that time Tourist Visa was on the 06.08.2007 expiring so I went to the office again to ask about my case, At the information desk they were not surprised at all that I had not heard from Jerusalem even 2 months had past, because my file had never been sent there but was still in Tel Aviv, So again a Christian got fucked in Israel, I told the office THAT I WAS SO ASHAMED OF BEING DANISH. And I am, I have even been thinking of converting but not really anymore.

The other ting that doesnt make sense to me is that this country does not really aprove my marriage and now I am just a visitor but our divorse is still taking place here and she is claiming NIS 4000,- (nearly USD 1000 per month) according to Jewish law. I do not have the permit to work but I can of cause just go home to Denmark, where I didnt live for more than 10 years.
Sometime I do not really know why I am here and why any one would support this system.
