I said: "Arafat has come up with two choices for a national bird, for his future Palestinian State. But, he can't decide between a camel or a flea." Capitalist responded: "your profile says your hobby is Zionism" and "So I guess Jews are just as much of "camel-jockeys" as Palestinians." You are misinterpreting my notes about Arab penchant for camel dung, and the romantic interest Arabs have for their camels. Much can be said about American or Israeli achievements in the arts and sciences, but, after thousands of years of Arab culture, no much can be said for Arab contributions to this world, other than their brutality towards women, their intolerance for other religions, and the dangerous threats that come from many Arab terrorist groups. So........ I want to be a nice guy. I want to say something positive about Arabs, so we all can be friends. What choice do I have, but to praise Arab achievements in their clever use of camel dung. They make camel-dung deodorant, cologne, burgers, and mosques. Who knows what they will come up with, if Arabs had another 1,000 years? Perhaps a blow-up Arab woman, made out of camel-dung?

Cap, If you look, you will find that the ancient Hebrews, very seldom rode camels, if at all. Their major mode of transportation was the ass, or donkey. Moses, definitely, did not ride a camel, but walked through the desert for 40 years as did most of his followers. Also, neither Moses, nor his followers, were Jews. They were Hebrews. The name Jew was a device of the Romans when they conquered, and began to rule the area that is now Israel. That land was divided into two areas containing the 12 tribes of Israel. One area was Israel, and the other was Judea. From the name of the area of Judea, the Romans fashioned the name "Jew". An important point, is that the Jews no longer ride any beast of burden, including camels, while the palestinians, and many other Moslem groups have not progressed as far as the Jews.
