I want to begin by thanking all of you for your help. This is a very difficult situation to comprehend and I do not expect everyone to understand. I thought I would point out briefly two key points that I need help with and why.

“Sons are a heritage from the Lord, Children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, are sons born in ones youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.”

Psalms 127:3-5

First, while I was in Israel attending one of many divorce / custody hearings, Ranya’s lawyer had a judge issue a “No Exit Order” on me.  This prevented me from leaving the country unless a substantial financial cash guaranty was paid or until such time the hearings were completed which could have been months. This is a common tactic used in Israel against Israeli fathers, but it’s never been used on an American.  The reason for this is that an Israeli can continue to work while continuing on with the hearings.  I was told by the judge that I cannot legally work in Israel.  The judge acknowledged that I would be faced with losing my job in America and she warned that I had better not default in support payments, which I had never done before anyway.  This is a Gross Violation of My Rights even by Israeli Law!  Faced with losing my job and needing to provide for my kids, I found a way out.  Now, however, I cannot enter Israel to continue my fight and Ranya is using what’s most important to me (My Kids) for her financial gain.

I need someone high up in the U.S. Government to speak with Israel and get my basic constitutional right to freedom of travel.

Second, the U.S. State department did begin to help me.  However; while making a visit to Dean’s school they were arrested. They were there on my behalf to check on Dean and try to help. I personally had to bail them out of jail in Israel from America! Now, the State department will no longer help me.  They have closed the case and will not tell me why.

For assistance from the U.S. State department, I believe I need the attention of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

I have several e-mails from Ranya and her lawyer stating I will never see the kids again unless I pay the money! Is this appropriate behavior of a mother who loves her children?

Thank you for your support,

Rick
