Methinks that there is more to unwillingness of the Arabic FBI translators to accept Arabic-speaking Jews as their colleagues than the old-fashioned Jew-hatred...

Where is the demand for the firing of these FBI employees for laughing at the murder of Americans by their friends and allies?
Why are they still working at the FBI instead of rotting in Cuba?

"Methinks that there is more to unwillingness of the Arabic FBI translators to accept

The term "fifth column" comes to mind.
And the term would fit parts of the State Department.
Suppossedly, when George Schultz headed the state department, he'd often call
in newly appointed State Deparment diplomats into his office just before
they were leaving for their foreign post.
As part of the discussion, Schultz would ask the new diplomat to "point out your
country" on the large globe that Schultz had in his office.
Most of the time, the diplomat would point to the country s/he was headed to...
and Schultz would then calmly say "No, I asked you to point out YOUR country" (of coure
meaning the USA).
It's no suprise to find a radical Muslim/Arab contingent in parts of the government.
When there are discussions about "what are we going to do about the Middle East mess",
TWENTY or more diplomats who've developed friendships with heads of states in Arab countries
do out-number the couple of diplomats who might have been posted to Israel.
(...but I won't be suprised to be flamed for posting this as an apologia for Israel or
for "bashing" Arabs/Muslims)
