Weird, I didn't see this engagement when Jews were barred from 16 countries.. and still are. Say what you will about Hijrah, but it sure does the trick.

Go figure. I guess once this has blown over, we can go through Kony2012 and CecilTheLion again.

Which ones? I know Iran and a number of Arab countries deny entry to persons with an Israeli passport, but that's not really the same thing.

Haha, you're right. It's not anti-semitism, it's anti-zionism. Got it.

It would be great if you didn't put words in my mouth, though your snark did offer a good clarification. A full 25% of the Israeli citizenry are not Jews, and plenty of Jews travel in Arab countries without any (bureaucratic) problems, so you're still in the wrong with your conflation.
