ÔøΩ—One thing that struck me in your post here was the description of Wilson as being anti-war and arabist.ÔøΩ—

Arabists embrace the bizarre notion that Arabs are victims of Western imperialism. They are supposedly brown skinned people who are being taken advantage of by a bunch of white dudes from the United States and Europe; things would be utterly fantastic in the Middle East if only Israel did not exist. Please take note of the accusation that the Bush administration favors the Israelis over the Palestinians. I would estimate that at least half of Senator KerryÔøΩs supporters agree with this idiocy. Why is this being ignored by the major media? Moreover, why do so few American Jews seem concerned? Has their liberalism blinded them to reality? Or, do they now share the slanderous opinion that Israel is an unjust and perhaps even fascist society? On Daniel DreznerÔøΩ’s comment section, IÔøΩ’ve literally debated a Jewish guy who described Israel as an apartheid state.
