"These are minds which are drawn even to the chants of vendors in the streets; such people will fall in step with any drumbeat that comes along, no matter how dissonant or discordant. There is nothing more dangerous than the poisoning of minds, because the looting of the intellect is the beginning of the dissolution of morals. It is also the beginning of political corruption leading to extremist beliefs and the cracking down on the media, obliging them to serve the state’s special interests. In other words, they are obliged to peddle the ruler’s political beliefs and to falsify the facts. This is a great crime against peoples’ rights. With the passage of time, eventually an Arab media will come into being which is both free and independent. It will be a responsible media which serves the interests of the people rather than the ambitions of the rulers. It will also be a media which will attempt to be open and transparent, one which deals with the defects of Arab societies, a media which does not make itself subservient to the pronouncements of dictatorial regimes. This is on condition that the media does not stir up sectarian chauvinism and civil strife in the name of freedom of action and speech" arabnews.com arabs are getting the message in spite of what you think

the U.S. administration cannot "ignore the huge elephant in the middle of the room, namely Israel" You need glasses or a new brain. What is there -- 3 million Israelis and 500 million or more Arabs in the Middle East. You got it wrong, Israel's the mouse facing a beligerent Arab lion. Where do you get this stuff, a joke shop for antisemites?

Worth looking at gus, you may even enjoy. :-( Palestinian videos inspire kids to violence Musical footage portrays Israeli soldiers murdering children, elderly April 22, 2003 The first video (viewed via Windows Media Player) suggests that Israel soldiers are murders and encourages young Palestinians to take up arms against the Jewish state. The video includes scenes of: A laughing girl on a swing, which turns into a burning swing and burning child's rocking horse; A father reading his young son a section from the Quran calling him to fight the enemies; The father handing his son a stone to throw at Israelis; A bomb hidden (by Israel) inside a soccer ball that blows up when a child kicks it; Actors depicting Israeli soldiers murdering an elderly man by shooting him in the head; and A mother and her infant being blown up by Israeli soldiers. pmw.org.il The second video is older, says PMW, but has been played more frequently in recent days. It presents the message to children that throwing stones at Israelis is a way to defend their mothers' honor. In one scene, young boys throw stones at a glass window with Jewish symbols: the word Israel in Hebrew, a star of David, an Israeli flag and an Israeli soldier. Immediately after the window and the Jewish symbols are smashed, all the flames on a Menorah are extinguished. pmw.org.il
