arabnews is as it says, a Saudi newspaper, with the usual Saudi propaganda. Here they mix real quotes, quotes out of context, and stuff they just made up. The Saudi press has also recently printed Nazi anti-Semitic forgeries and revived and expanded the blood libel.

Hi Brian Sullivan; Re the link: arabnews.com At least some of the quotes from the Jerusalem post may be more or less legit. For example, the rather racist second quote, that the Palestinians belong to a different galaxy etc., is here: "There is a huge gap between us and our enemies - not just in ability but in morality, culture, sanctity of life, and conscience," Katsav told reporters at Beit Hanassi. "We would never stoop to the kind of brutality inflicted on the victims in Tekoa and Ofra," he added. "They're our neighbors here, but it seems as if at a distance of a few hundred meters away, there are people who don't belong to our continent, to our world, but actually belong to a different galaxy." jpost.com Here's the third quote, that Palestinians are like crocodiles: jpost.com -- Carl
