@POYid -

Agree 100%. If ever history there has been an archetypical example of why we must know people for what they DO and not what they SAY, it is the PLOArabs.

It gets tiresome having to constantly fight the same tired false memes. The Arabs, unlike the meddling Westerners or we hapless and foolish Israelis (shd I say Chelmites? If the kippa fits… ), have always been very direct in their behavior, even when they are deceptive in their speech.

Every time Abbas reads a little paragraph off his “we are sad and oppressed how can we kill Jews and destroy Israel if you won’t give us your unblinking idiot support and, by the way, LOTS AND LOTS OF CASH” script, there is some American or European schmuck ready to point it out as though it were something other than a naked grab for more cash and a joke at the expense of those known well in the Middle East for supporting those who would kill every Jew they can reach.

It is sad to see America reduced to a condition where her leader cannot tell his allies from his enemies. It is sadder that so many “regular” Americans go right along with it.

I think many folks in the US are currently looking for a scapegoat for the financial crisis, Islamic terrorism, etc. and Jews/Israel fit the bill just fine for a growing number of Americans. This is why so many of our fellow countrymen have no problem with Obama’s approach to Israel-we are going back to a long tradition of American Jew Hatred, but this time enshrouded in the platitudes of The Left.
