MYTH : "The governments of Arab states grant basic human rights to their citizens."

FACT : "While much attention has been focused on alleged Israeli human rights violations in the volatile West Bank and Gaza, the popular press has chosen to virtually ignore violations of fundamental human rights that take place daily in almost every Arab country. According to annual reports compiled by the State Department, most of the Arab states are ruled by oppressive, dictatorial regimes, which deny their citizens basic freedoms of political expression, speech, press and due process. The Arab Human Development Report published by a group of Arab researchers from the UN Development Program concluded that out of the seven regions of the world, Arab countries had the lowest freedom score. They also had the lowest ranking for "voice and accountability," a measure of various aspects of the political process, civil liberties, political rights and independence of the media."

It is interesting that antiSemites like Thomas and Len grASS-O constantly write negative posts against Israel and Jews but never write negative posts against the dictatorships, terrorists or the thugs of the world.

And...... neither of them post anything good to say about their own heritage or culture. It proves that they are small minded and jealous of Jewish achievements.
