Well, I suppose Banfield is posing herself as an Arabist. I think we all understand what the Arab point of view is. They hate Israel. They want Israel destroyed. Israel isn't going away. Until and unless the Arabs understand and accept that fact, there will be problems in the Middle East.

I understood Banfield's point of view one night when I saw her interviewing a group of Israeli teenagers and Palestinian teenagers together. The hatred and bias shown by Banfield toward Israel was transparent.

bingo ... two years ago I was posting a barf-alert on Ashley Banfield after I saw her gush on TV about "president Arafat" ... anybody enamored with the pig Arafat, especially after the September, 2000 Intifada began, had to be an idiot ...

her statements don't surprise me one bit ... wonder if she talks about the sanitized TV coverage (major networks) of the carnage the jihadists inflict ... Yahoo! News showed it all ... in all its ugliness ... and I commend them for showing it for what it was ...

oh, and Ms. Banfield, War on Terror and Terror dictators, ain't the same as terrorism ...
