Arabs are much more straightforward and sincere,

Thanks for a great laugh! Arabs, among whom speaking from both sides of the mouth is praised since times immemorial as wisdom and maturity, are... straightforward. Arabs, where switching sides and reneging on deals is routine and viewed as a signature of a statesman, are... sincere.

This is so touching, I would be in tears it I could stop laughing.

Of course, like many Jews I know and here on these threads, they are clearly duplicitous, as indeed you are when you deceptively attribute my words, "wisdom and maturity," which I attributed to the founders of our country and NOT to Arabs.

I do not doubt that Afgan fighters switch sides, as they see who makes a better local leade, where all politics should reside, methinks, or we will pay a far dearer price for misjudgment regardihg creating entangling alliances, such as we have with Israel.
