The Israelis and Arabs have been enemies for more than 50 years. To listen to what one has to say about the other is a waste of time. To believe what one has to say about the other is gullible.

Sorry, but I learned many years ago when dealing with Arabs in my occupation that you cannot believe anything they tell you. Their value system is different from ours and they will not hesitate to lie. In fact, it is expected in their society, which is one of the reasons the Arab press essentially can never be believed.

As a result of my experience in my line of business, and with the increase of Arabs in the US, I come across Arabs while shopping. I may have a pleasant conversation with them, but I cannot believe anything they tell me about the product I am considering to buy or anything they tell me about themselves.

It is stated in the Quran that it is permissible to lie to an infidel, you, and get no retribution from Allah. It is not just a cultural thing, but a prerequisite of the religion. To lie to a Non-Islamic is justified.

When the Saudi Arabian multimillionaire arrived in New York
with a cash gift I thought of the old saying about gifts and Arabs. Rudy refused the offer.
