It doesn’t matter how many articles the Arab News publishes promoting their new “tolerance” and “efforts against terror,” trying to convince gullible Westerners that the oil ticks have turned over a new leaf. It only takes one article by a racist evil Holocaust denier like Michael Collins Piper to undo all of that work: Why Do Arabs Help Zionist Media Campaign? (Hat tip: d.)

I find it ironic that I now find myself not only condemned in the American and Israeli press but also in the Arabic-language media. My only “crime” — the reason I have been declared an “extremist” — has been that I have dared to speak out against the Israeli lobby and in favor of a US policy that takes the concerns of the Arab world into consideration.

It was particularly disturbing to see Al-Sirhan effectively condemn the thesis of my book “Final Judgment”, which documents — to the satisfaction of many people worldwide — the strong likelihood of a role by Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Al-Sirhan’s remarks were particularly stinging since, among other things, my book has been published in Arabic by the distinguished Beirut-based firm of Dar El Ilm Lilmalayin, and even more so because I learned some years ago — after my book was published — that Gen. Mustafa Tlass, the highly-regarded longtime Syrian defense minister, had made public statements to the effect that it was his opinion that there was in fact a Zionist role in the JFK assassination.

The “highly-regarded” Syrian defense minister Mustafa Tlass is the loathsome creep who wrote The Matzah of Zion, a book that presents the Damascus blood libel (that Jews use the blood of young Arabs to bake matzah bread) as historical fact.
