Wow......
I intended to visit Israel one day as it is a fantastic place to see Historical sites....
But this has put me off completely, im never going, EVER! ....
As for people saying this would happen in Pakistan, No it would not. It would only happen if you were a suspected Indian Spy. There are places in Pakistan which have a lot of Americans and no one cares less, its just like their Pakistani. Obv the situation in rural lands are another story altogether and these are the stories which the Media focus on.....
But back on point - OP - Thank God you're back and safe.
EDIT - I dont mind Negs - But i feel you guys are prejudiced as to Judge Pakistan without even going? Honestly the people of Pakistan have more important things to worry about than a couple of foreigners..... like Life, Electricity, Economy, Kidnapping etc....
