But Hawkmoon would have you believe that the Arabs in Israel are the happiest on this planet. Then again, listening mindlessly to the media tends to shrivel his little mind...

the recent events have reinforced the feeling that the authorities are not particularly concerned about incidents in which Arab blood is shed. Ufortunately, most Arabs didn't express any particular concern when Jews were being blown up by suicide bombers, or Jewish teenagers are found bound like hostages, and slain. And they didn't express any outrage when that Israeli reservist was beaten to a pulp and his body thrown out of a window by a Palestinian mob. Yep... there's a lot of violence going on now and the Arabs are certainly finding themselves treated with the same contempt they have shown towards Israelis for decades. I'm not excusing it, and I think the use of those Israeli civil rights agencies are crucial to restoring a sense of shame, as well as respect for EVERYONE'S individual rights. But right now, this is war. Call it uprising, call it riot control, or call it whatever you will.. But it's war. And in war, people lose all semblance of rationality and civility. And now the Arabs unfortunately are learning how Jews in Arab nations have been treated for years. "In 1948 more than 850,000 Jews lived in the Arab world. Today there are fewer than 29,000, a shadow of the former ancient community. Most of those Jewish refugees fled to Israel." eretzyisroel.org hsje.org info.greenwood.com netanyahu.org And then tell us how many people are displaying "concern" for the Coptic Christians in Egypt.
