In the Islamic world today, Jews are blamed for every political, economic, and even personal problem. In the Fox interview, Arafat speaks of "those who are facing the starvation, facing the unemployment, facing this siege, facing the tragedy of their families - the poverty of their families. Some of them, they didn't find food to eat." Before Arafat and his government launched the intifada in Sept. 2000, investment capital was pouring in to the West Bank and Gaza from all over the world and Israel was working closely with the Palestinian Authority toward establishing a prosperous and peaceful Palestinian Arab State. In most of the rest of the Islamic world, populations are being conditioned with hateful propaganda against Jews by ruling elites who seek to divert attention away from their own totalitarian dictatorships and their own responsibility for the pervasive misery and poverty wracking their countries.
