[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a "Jewish" last name, as my husband is Jewish. After we were married, I was considering some travel to the Middle East and feared that perhaps I shouldn't have changed my name because of this.  I did a LOT of research, the upshot of which is that many people in other countries, especially the Middle East, don't know what a "Jewish" last name is.

That said, apparently if you have been to Israel and are planning on traveling in the middle east, you should "lose" your passport with the stamps from Israel and start your travels with a fresh one.

Seriously, blaming someone's last name on their troubles is ridiculous.[/quote]

Ok, I will let every Cohen, Stein, etc. know that nobody will know they are jewish if they go to the middle east or Pakistan (are you for real?)[/quote]

You know that Israel is part of the Middle East, right?[/quote]

Geographically, yes, but have you EVER met a jewish person who says they are "middle eastern?"  come on.  it denotes an arab from the middle east.  [/quote]
