What "Jewish" areas was she able to visit as a jewish american that she would not have been able to visit as a christian, Budhist, or muslim american? I highly doubt that she was able to move more freely in palestinian areas as a consequence of her Jewishness. The above quote implies that non-jewish Americans are banned from area's in Israel because of their religions. This is simply not true. Anna Baltzer's Jewishness did not get her into areas that a non-Jew could not have gained access to, and implying such is missleading. -David “Because Ms. Baltzer is a Jewish American, she was able to freely move in both Jewish and Palestinian areas during her stay there.”

The above quote implies that non-jewish Americans are banned from area’s in Israel because of their religions. This is simply not true.

Anna Baltzer’s Jewishness did not get her into areas that a non-Jew could not have gained access to, and implying such is missleading.
