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:

David Duke

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:

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.

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.

Just for the record, I was in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Thanksgiving 1990 and President bush, his wife and entourage all had a Thanksgiving meal with us in the field and there were prayers before the meal. BTW, Saudis were present (King Fahd and others)
