frank, you didn't even mention the Nazi heritage among the Arabs, courtesy of Nasser and the Mufti.

I heard a report on NPR the other day, first airing a brief clip of a hawkish Israeli commentator talking about Sadat's Nazi past, then cutting to a young female pro-Palestinian activist saying plaintively, "They're trying to demonize the Palestinian cause". As far as NPR's audience is concerned, QED, right?

I am saying to myself, hold on, does it actually matter to the discussion that Nasser and Sadat were prominent members of the Egyptian Nazi party during WWII (a fact you will never, ever hear on NPR)? During the thirties and forties the Nazis wooed the Arabs, very successfully. It was during this period that the Arabs absorbed stuff like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which had previously been limited to Europe.
