When hate is all you have....


Here is a cartoon that is on the front page of the Arab News, "The Middle East's Leading English Daily" according to their web site.

Not sure exactly what they are trying to say other then of course that Israel is the reason there is no peace in the Middle East and they have swept some sort of mass murder under the rug. In other words what they can't blame on America they blame on Israel. This is the sort of propaganda that runs daily in the Arab world. When people are bombarded with these types of images day after day, propaganda worthy of anything the Nazi's did leading up to and through World War II, is it any wonder they have such a deep rooted hatred of Israel. One that is not based on facts but rather plays on the emotion of hate.

Why can't our State Department instead of cowing down to these governments, made famous by Nancy Pelosi wearing a scarf while meeting the murdering ophthalmologist in Syria, bring matters such as this up? I constantly hear from the left, when referring to the Bush administration, that they want investigations and they want to shine a spotlight on whatever the perceived outrage of the day happens to be, but they never, ever want to draw attention to this sort of stuff.

This is not from some wacky Palestinian program or some video clip hosted on Memri. No, this is on the front page of one of the main English language newspapers.
