From Facebook to the Arab League in four days.
This trail illustrates how prone senior opinion-shapers in the Arab world are to believe the most implausible stories about Israel. Did they truly think that Mr. Netanyahu, intransigent as he may be on the peace process, would post such blatantly racist comments on a public website? The answer appears to be yes. Just as Egyptian officials in Sinai believed that Mossad sent a shark to attack tourists in Sharm-el-Sheikh in 2010, or that Israel is responsible for violence between Egyptian Muslims and Christians, as Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister Yehia El-Gamal proclaimed last June.
Many Arabs' capacity to think the worst of Israel is not only the product of a protracted conflict in the Middle East, but also of deep ignorance regarding Israel and its inhabitants. Even in those countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, that theoretically are at peace with Israel, relations have been in practice arms-length at best. While most urban Israelis have at least a rudimentary acquaintance with Muslim culture, their counterparts in Cairo and Amman, to say nothing of Riyadh, have no firsthand knowledge of practicing Jews and little or no access to Israeli art, music and literature.
The result is that, to many Arabs, Israelis are foreign not only in culture and history, but in their actions and motivations as well. In this context even the wildest proposition—for instance, that an elected head of state would openly declare that he wishes death to about 355 million of the world's civilians—sounds reasonable. Until Arabs, particularly their media and political elites, attempt to understand Israelis on their own terms, demonization, conspiracy theories and ignorance will continue to thrive.

What do you want from a people that actually believe that “Allah” turned Jews into apes and pigs because their “holy” book says so in several verses . . . ?
Another day, another blood libel.
Islamics are rabid animals. Barely.
PING
Gosh I am so shocked. Shocked I tell you. This is so out of character for the Muslims.
Now, ...our president would NEVER use hyperbole, outright lies, and over-the-top wacky statements like the Muslims.
The death of 3 billion would be a good thing, if they're all the koranimals we see on the daily news, killing each other and anyone else who happens to be nearby...
Did she also run this confirmed quote?
"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave." --- King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993
Meanwhile, the death’s-head cult continues its centuries-long campaign of murder and other anti-human activities. Thanks Ooh-Ah.
