What was said

"They actually asked me, "Are you Jewish?" And I brag. First of all, I'm not Jewish. I'm definitely not Jewish in this country."

Discussing a scene from his Iraq filming, Tommy Sabbatical says people asked him, “Are you Jewish?”, and he jokes that he is not. He adds that the town featured what he describes as a Jewish shrine that still displayed a Star of David, which he says had been converted into a mosque while the symbol remained “out of respect”.
