Another Israeli in an Arab country causes Arab angst

The Israel in Arabic social media continues to upset Arab media, as it once again has shown a short clip made by an Israeli visiting Kuwait (probably under a different passport) showing his kippah and tefillin bag used for prayer in the hotel and then panning to the iconic Kuwait Towers.

This has appeared in a number of Arabic media sites.

Erem News says Kuwaiti security authorities began an investigation, some saying that the Israeli "may have entered the country with a foreign passport."

Israel in Arabic is doing an amazing job in normalizing the idea of Jews and Israelis in Arab countries. Not only does it have a large number of Arab followers, but every time it publishes a video like this is gains huge coverage in mainstream Arab media - and eventually the idea of Jews in Arab countries will not be considered such a big deal because of that very coverage.
