Jewish Group

I’ve been astonished at the gulf of knowledge — I grew up in Saudi Arabia, so I’m well aware of both sides.

I was forced to watch my first beheading at eight. I watched a friend be seized by mullahs for laughing in public — his head was brutally shaved with a knife.

The students at the university were friendly enough — but the culture was utterly cruel. I’ve heard it presented as congenial, but it was not.

My father was an anti-Semite and unconcerned — but I was horrified by parts of the experience. I’m not excusing Israel’s actions, but the lack of understanding by ignorant Americans is startling.

These people should spend a few months there.
