The Cuban Assets Control Regulations are enforced by the U.S.
Treasury Department and affect all U.S. citizens and permanent
residents wherever they are located, all people and organizations
physically located in the United States, and all branches and
subsidiaries of U.S. organizations throughout the world.

Which is of course completely different to the situation with Israel and the
Middle East, as the US does NOT consider having ever visitted Cuba as a
reason to deny a visa to a citizen of a third country.
As I said, its only Islamic Middle Eastern countries that deny entry visas
purely because at some stage you have visitted some other country, and its
only Israel which is harassed in this manner.
