And yet, it was a democracy that invaded and conquered Iraq, not one of the Muslim countries despised by that author. So much for his point that democracies are more enlightened, eh? This is particularly funny: Sephardic Jews were mostly to be found in Muslim states, where they were always at the bottom of the social ladder. Sometimes they were treated fairly well, sometimes very badly. But never were they complete equals. Even in Ethiopia, with all of its problems, a way was found to treat Jews worse than anybody else. Yet whatever one wants to say about Israel -- and people will say everything about Israel, whether it's true or not -- the country enjoys a flourishing democracy. The million Arab citizens of Israel are not always first-class citizens. But they have the vote. More democratic rights than their Arab relatives across the border in Egypt or Jordan. You really have to be stupid to take the author seriously after that sequence. Jews' 2nd class citizenship was proof that Arabs are evil, but Arabs' 2nd class citizenship is proof that Jews are good? LOL! Tom
