"I am telling you there is increasing resentment in the Arab world against Americans and America" I'm not denying it, but it is a view formed through government controlled media, called propaganda. Is there a free press in an Arab country, oh yes, one in Lebanon. "By the way, your view of the world is shaped by your media as much as Arabs' is shaped by their media. Yours is no better than theirs, if I may add." Afraid not, show me where the American view is presented as a counterpoint to a "dominant Arab view" in any Arab newspaper, and I'll show you a hundred U.S. papers that present the Arab side. Show me one editorial in an arab newspaper that was critical of the Saudi government's newspaper notion that Jews eat gentiles, lol, you won't. Say Arabs eat persians during ramadan in any U.S. newspaper and you'd be laughed at in every other newspaper from here to ... wherever. "There is little mistaking of unconditional US support for Israel" and second in support comes Egypt, Jordan ... who else.. Give it up on PA oppression, if PA leaders refuse to negotiate, as they did in 2000, and pursue terror tactics instead, what else would you want Israel to do. PA leadership was presented with a real deal in 2000, they took a pass and pursued violence. The PA people have their own leaders to thank for their current situation. Oh, but I wonder how many arab papers discuss how the PA passed up on a negotiated settlement, prefering the path of violence. zilch.
