Female Israeli tennis player Shahar Pe'er is ranked 17th in the world.
But her reign towards the top of women's tennis hasn't prevented her from acting like a desperate lowlife, just wanting to be loved.
As I've repeatedly noted on this site, until yesterday Peer couldn't set foot in any of the Gulf states. She was not allowed to play in the Dubai Open or the Qatar Open.
That's because all of the Gulf states not only officially boycott Israel and don't recognize its existence, but they openly state on their websites that those with Israeli passports or stamps from Israel on their passports will not be allowed into the countries. While that's the official policy, exceptions are routinely made for Muslims with Israeli passports or stamps on their passports. That's how so many Muslims from Israel are able to make the hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Because only Muslims with Israeli passports and stamps are allowed in--and not Jews--it's quite clear that the idea is to exclude Jews from the Gulf states. The policy is anti-Semitic and, frankly, a form of anti-Jewish apartheid.

Qatar better not be hosting the Olympics in '16. If they do, I'll take my Israeli-stamped passport and raise hell at the State Dept., Olympic Committee and get the rest of America's Jews to do the same.
