The following comment is from someone who viewed this first-hand:

"As you know I worked for the Saudis for five years and traveled some of these countries on this list that ban Jews. For those of us who worked there, you could not go and visit Israel and return.  So if you happened to visit Israel and got a stamp in your passport that would prevent your returning to Saudi Arabia, you left your passport in your jeans and threw them into the washing machine.  Well, it destroyed your passport, but you didn't lose it.  So, you took your passport to the American Embassy, wherever you could find one, and do the head slap, and ask for a replacement. I think they could figure it out.. I'm sure they thought of us as honkey mercenaries anyway." 

  Perhaps the other side of the coin. Just saying......

  Six out of the Seven counties Donald has banned doesn't accept Israeli passports because the holders are Jewish .........and they have the NERVE to protest to the US about Pres Trump’s ban on their citizens because they are Muslim.
