I hate that every single time you make an aliyah attempt or whatever, there's always something you need. Like, when I was in Israel, had I declared citizenship, I would have needed a letter from the Los Angeles police saying that I didn't have a run-in with them. Or so I was told. Now I'm being told that I need high school/college transcripts or some other kind of proof that I've been in the US and not Israel for the past 7 years. Dude, just let me into the fucking country. I mean Jesus, the Law of Return makes it seem like you just show up at Ben Gurion and say, "I'm Jewish, and I wanna be Israeli now." But ohhhhhhh how much more complicated it all is.
