I’m cynical, but not nearly as you. :- )

I think Rs who support israel see Arabs and their value system as a common enemy. Rs tend to see the world more in terms of right and wrong vs a fuzzy grey area, and they see Israel as a friend.

But that’s a reversal. The right-wing used to be openly pally with the Saudis, and only the liberal feminists really caused a big fuss about the Arab value system.

All of the anti-arab stuff from the Right wing is vintage 2001. It wasn’t there before. It seems very well fleshed out just because it’s based in a very general xenophobia in the right wing.
