It is you who decided that "Arab" must be a genetic, not a cultural reference, not I. Awww, Nadine, but what about the nifty secret code detector I just picked up at the local dime store? You know, the kind you seem to have been born with (lucky you!)? Hmmm, this new detector is vibrating powerfully, very powerfully when I pass it over this statement you made "Arabs are really good at hate"! Could it be we have spoilage hiding there? Somebody bring in a room deodorant! I smell a dead rat here, LOL! Wow, Nadine, your detector must be ultra-sensitive, one of the new models (PC-666 I think) since you can detect even "invisible" antisemitism at a distance, antisemitism so secret that the antisemite doesn't even know he has it, but after awhile, "it just works out that way" - brrr, gives me the willies! Now, I ask you, if we threw out anything that I wrote which you claim triggers your ultra-sensitive in-built code detector, and your lovely statement - if we threw out both on a coffee table anywhere in the civilized world, which do you think would be the one that created the stink? I dare say "Arabs are really good at hate" would slay them while any of my CRITICISM of Israel would hardly raise an eyebrow. So, here we are, with your statement on our coffee tables, lying there like a dead fish, stinking up the joint, triggering all sorts of code detectors, even the crude ones, (none quite as sensitive as your detector model, though). See, Nadine, it is all rather silly - this witch hunt with secret codes and foolish accusations. So lets stay on topic.
