UPDATE: I was very confused why in the
Random Pictures You Have Taken my words were twisted into something I never even thought of before (by Edt82sc, Teenerted1, and Daepp).

I honestly had no idea why I was being attacked. Some really crazy comments which had nothing to do with my post were made. I had to find out why this happened as no reasons were given to me, and no explanation offered.
After doing some research I think I figured it out. I really wish people would explain what's in their heads instead of making stupid comments and meaningless attacks, we are adults.
This is what I found:

Jewish supremacists are too busy launching and cheerleading U.S. wars to do the actual fighting themselves. That’s something for the Gentiles to worry about.

Did you really think that knowing about the leaders of Arab nations requesting that Jews (even if in US uniform) not set foot on their soil had anything to do with any possible anti-semitism on my part? You have to be kidding me.
I also found this, which seems to be an isolated death:

Wershow was guarding a detail of civilian Americans meeting with Iraqi university officials when he left the meeting, after two hours, to get a soft drink. He was fatally shot in the back of the neck by a gunman on the campus. The gunman escaped in the confusion that followed the shooting. Senator Bill Nelson of Florida called Wershow's death "an assassination."

Now to give you a couple of examples of when and where the US has bent to the request of Arab leaders, I provide the following link and quote.

Consider two symbolic moments in the U.S.-Saudi relationship involving a visit by one leader to the other's country. In November 1990, President George H.W. Bush went to the Persian Gulf region with his wife and top congressional leaders at Thanksgiving time to visit the 400,000 troops gathered in Saudi Arabia, whom he sent there to protect that country from an Iraqi invasion. When the Saudi authorities learned that the President intended to say grace before a festive Thanksgiving dinner, they remonstrated; Saudi Arabia knows only one religion, they said, and that is Islam. Bush acceded, and he and his entourage instead celebrated the holiday on the U.S.S. Durham, an amphibious cargo ship sitting in international waters.
In April 2002, as Crown Prince Abdallah of Saudi Arabia, the country's effective ruler, was about to travel across Texas to visit President George W. Bush, an advance group talked to the airport manager in Waco (the airport serving the President's ranch in Crawford) "and told him they did not want any females on the ramp and also said there should not be any females talking to the airplane."[2] The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) at Waco complied with this request and passed it to three other FAA stations on the crown prince's route, which also complied. Then, when queried about this matter, both the FAA and the State Department joined the Saudi foreign minister in flat-out denying that there ever was a Saudi request for male-only controllers.

There are plenty of articles on the Internet about religious services for Jewish US service men/women having to be held in secret, the paradox of this I still find interesting as I get to learn more about human nature and maybe what America stands for in an upside down world.
In conclusion: Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions and make assumptions, and give people a little room to learn something new. Try giving the benefit of a doubt once in a while, you may be pleasantly surprised. The harder you come down on people, the more you drive them away.
