I remember back While working for Lufthansa German Airlines, I was having training in Frankfurt. we had three Israeli’s with us in the group.

since I was the first Saudi to be there since 1979, They made two groups so I won’t have to be with them.

I told the Instructor that I’m okay with them, as long they are okay with me.
it was kind weird at the start but at lunch, dinner or at night at the beer garden we would sit together as we “myself and the Israelis” have same friends Italian, Bulgarian, Malta and Indian.

so we talked a lot, and we became good friends, we e-mail each other from time to time,

we should not label people, if we treat people with respect they would do the same to us.

keep these stories coming ^.^

cheers

My Dad was an outspoken man who never feared to say what was on his mind… and Abdullah handled the challenges with his natural diplomatic aplomb.

When goverments get out of the way, we as a people can find common ground and be friends.
