Sentiment on Arabs is mixed in the U.S. thanks to its diverse media and freedom of the press, something all, but one, Arab countries do not have. It's not fair for you to imply that a government controlled media is the same as one that is not. The opinions a free media is able to create or endorse is wildly different from the opinions generated from a government controlled media.

And besides, there's no hate on for Arabs in the US, like Arabs have a hate for americans and jews. I've seen some of the Arab stuff on Israel and to my mind it is antisemitic. It's not the same as U.S. media, as you like to imply. Also, recently on Egyptian TV they did a documentary on the Elders of Zion, making it sound like it was real. Zonder, please acknowledge that there is an ocean of difference between a free media and one that is government controlled. A free media can speak against its government but a government controlled media only speaks against what is outside of government.
