just like romeo and juliet:

The Palestinian man who befriended a 16-year-old Michigan girl through the MySpace.com Web site and invited her to join him in Jericho said he is heartbroken by U.S. authorities' decision to send her back home.
Abdullah Jimzawi, 20, told The Associated Press that his love for Katherine Lester, of Gilford, Mich., was pure and they planned to marry. The music buff, who spends at least 10 hours a day on the Internet, decried attempts to portray him as an Internet predator.
"We love the same things, the same songs and we have similar dreams. I fell in love with her because she is innocent and goodhearted. We found ourselves as soul mates," he told the AP on Sunday at his family's comfortable house.
Jericho, a town of 17,000, is largely immune from the violence and mayhem plaguing the rest of the West Bank.
Jimzawi, a high school dropout with close-cropped hair, a two-day beard and large, dark eyes, said Katherine was willing to convert to Islam and that the pair remain in close contact, speaking to each other at least five hours a day via Internet phone calls.
MySpace.com is a social networking Web site whose enormous popularity with teenagers has raised concerns among U.S. authorities, with scattered accounts of sexual predators targeting minors they meet on the site.
Jimzawi works in his father's business delivering goods to minimarkets and has never gotten into trouble.
Earlier this month, Katherine boarded a flight to Israel after slipping out of her mother's house. At a stopover in Amman, Jordan, U.S. authorities seized her passport and sent her back home.
Had Katherine made it to Jericho, Jimzawi said, she would have slept in his sister's bedroom, not his. He said he would have walked with her through the tree-lined streets of Jericho, and his family would have celebrated her 17th birthday together on June 21.
"When I realized she wasn't coming I felt my whole world collapse," he said. "My tears didn't stop and I couldn't sleep for three days."

If he was speaking the truth...I actually do feel bad for him. Although 16 is young, but over there, I'm sure they get married a lot younger than that.

I'm sure this incident would have been a big deal even if the guy had been from France or Spain or Germany, but part of me wonders if there was added panic because this man/boy is middle eastern and they were afraid he was a terrorist or something. know what I'm sayin?

I think there is only panic because she is 16.
Was she hot? Rate her body. 10 being the highest, 1 being the lowest. That is of course if there are pics available.

only seen pictures of her face. she is cute, very innocent looking. I'm surprised she had the balls to take off and even attempt to go to this guy.

what I'm wondering is...how the hell did a 16 year old afford a flight to Isreal.

stole her moms credit card- I think. though I don't know how she got them to authorize it unless she forged her mother/sig. at anyrate, I know she took money from her folks to do it, also I think I might have read that the guy sent her some cash to come as well.
and this guys parents...I wonder how much they knew? wouldn't they prefer he find a nice palestinian girl?

bet she got some great air miles out of that booking.
holy fuck!! i just saw her picture. her teeth are fucking crazy!
I say let them be. I haven't really read the article, but I hope they keep talking to each other and when she is 18 she goes out there and lives happily ever after.

of course they would. But in the end, they just want their son happy.

sounds like they must have known something, at least. she was gonna sleep in their house, they were gonna celebrate her birthday.
i dunno what to make of it. too bad for him, i guess. 16 year old girls tend to fall in and out of love pretty easily though, don't they? especially innocent ones. maybe it's ultimately for the best. maybe someday she'd wake up and realize she'd changed her whole life over a guy she met on myspace. might have been weird.
Well where is the fucking picture then, homo?
its in the link in the post. go through the slideshow. its in there somewhere.

exactly...the cultural differences would have been a big adjustment and also I beleive that they would have had to endure racism. certainly there would be paliestians who would have treated her badly because she was american, regardless of whether she was a convert to islam. Sucks. but our world racist and it runs both ways.
still. young-love how ever misguided it may be...I still feel bad for them a bit.

oh yeah, i hadn't even thought of that. in israel, no less. that would have been tough.
What about the couples from here? they have made some major adjustments. It could work. Although, as bob mentioned..she could be in that in and out of love stage right now.
Ok...after re-reading that I realized moving from one part of the country to the other is nothing like moving from one continent to the other.

well yeah, but you also have to factor in that she's 16. she could be very mature for her age for all i know, but probably not. it would be an unfortunate age in which to try to make a major lifestyle adjustment.
don't try and diagram that last sentence by the way, the grammar sector of my brain just had a blackout

me too, I really should give it up. my boyfriend is not real happy about he amount of time I spend there, and i have cut way back. I mean he has a profile too, but he hardly uses it and he knows it's not that I'm on there flirting with dudes, he just doesn't think it's health to spend too much time on the net. and he's got a point there. the only reason I don't want to drop my account is that I really have found some old dear friends on there. I have thier contact info now, but myspace seems to be a really easy and fun way to keep in touch with alot of people at once. So we'll see. but I agree with the trouble statement. yes yes I do.

Stuff to do on myspace:
find everyone you've ever known in your whole life
post attention whoring pictures of your self
take stupid surveys that reveal way too much about you
drown in glitter graphics
make gay pages about your interests
find out who's gotten fat
make your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend nervous
stuff like that.
