When he returned to his homeland, his fellow pilots regarded him suspiciously. No one dared to get in touch with him. One day he was struck by the words of those who held antipathy for him. He heard it when he passed them on the street.

 

"You left two of your colleagues the bag to hold and came back shamelessly. One of the two had to be taken to the desert and turned to bones in the sand. The other guy, who was an Arabic pilot, blew himself up far above Iranian sky shaking off the guidance of American pilot. The Arab was good at suicide bombing. Your father-in-law was the famous General Shy-Rock. He made a deal with the U.S. government and saved you. Shy-Rock was really a cunning gentleman."

The story was spread the image of mighty Israel against the Arabs. For the Yankees, who were Islamophobia, the story was like a thrilling western movie in which cavalry repels Native American.   Many Jews in the United States offered donations after hearing his story.
