Not that I desire to go to Qatar but Obama never said anything about Qatarand Saudi Arabia not allowing Jewish people in their Country.

Jewish athletes can't attend a professional sport over there as Shahar Peer from Israel was denied access for a WTA tournament a few years back.

Where is Obama's remark about these countries that deny Jewish people and where women's right are almost none existing.

Following protests over the UAE's decision to refuse her visa in 2009, Pe'er was granted a visa in 2010, and played there.

Qatar organizers of the world cup has reassured that if Israel qualifies for World Cup that they will be allowed to play.

Such is apparently evidence of how accepting they are!

Is Saudi Arabia running for POTUS? What is your point? It's ok for Trump to exclude because Saudi Arabia excludes too??? HUH??? You can do better.

Considering that the football team has only qualified once in the last 70 years, I doubt they need to worry about it.

Jews are allowed in. It's people with Israeli passports or have Israel Visa stamps in their passports that have been denied entry.

Not that I think the left shouldn't be more critical of Muslim countries that oppose everything liberals stand for, but how are these two related? Trump is a presidential nominee who is quite divisive and inflammatory. There's no reason to even bring up Saudi Arabia in a discussion about Trump, unless you want to point out how both Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump have an affinity towards authoritarianism. But even then, there are dozens of examples to use there, so Saudi Arabia isn't even the most logical pick.
