Whaaattt?

I imagine Melania shares your queasiness, @NigelJ.

 

My father ( RAF ) was also stationed in Palestine during Israel's creation as a state. I was never able to get him to tell of his experiences just as he refused to talk about his time as a crew member of the Lancaster bombers over Germany during WW2.
I also worked for several Jewish companies in my 20's and counted many of them amongst my friends. I'd have to add tho it was usually the ones of my age who were open to different views and didn't push the religious thing.
