"That's totally for show."

What does that mean, "totally for show"? What Arab country bothers with a show? Oh, right, I forgot, they have already ethnically cleansed their population of Jews, so they can't be accused of harboring such dreadful thoughts any more. Oh wait, they still want to cleanse the territory that they consider to be "rightfully Arab" of Jewish people, even if their governments don't control it. But they are innocent folks because... well, just because. No, nothing they do can be considered "ethnic cleansing." Even though it is in their charter to cleanse the territory of Jews.

This is idiotic. "Totally for show"--that is just more bafflegab. Yes, Arabs have been treated miserably in Israel. So, for that matter have Sephardit Jews--it is a classic case of European discrimination, and the discriminated against Jews are often the worst offenders in terms of discriminating against the Arabs. Yes, I will be the first to acknowledge that there lots of problems in Israeli society. But those problems pale against the problems in Arab societies. And the Arabs pretend that they are oh so virtuous against the miserable Zionists, that they are the afflicted and the downtrodden, when what their political leaders are doing to them is turning them into hate machines that feel self pity and won't be able to rise above their circumstances until they get rid of those leaders and those stupid attitudes of being perpetual victims.

You are dupe in this, Bentway. Just a foolish dupe.
