It sounds like anti-jewish politics so it may not have too much of an effect on travellers but it's worth knowing about for anyone passing through.

I think it's anti-Israeli politics rather than 'anti-jewish', a bit like islam and fundamentalism.

"Anti-jewish politics" may have an effect on a traveller if he/she is "jewish".
