Why is this news? Influential Muslim religious and political leaders talk smack all the time, and no diplomats feel the need to respond directly to it. Foggy Bottom needs this story - seems they always need a new stick to beat over Israel’s head.
Nachum,
The Jews are supposed to “behave” (be passive and take it). The Arabs, Muslims, Persians and Palestinians can say the most outlandish lies, the most horrific libels on a daily basis, but when a Jews says, “poo”, the Dept. of State or others call for a major UN investigation! Let them all sucks eggs.
