The bigger question that comes to mind is why the Saudis, who have billions and billions more $ in resources than the Israelis, aren't doing something similar translating Israeli extremist media on 10x the scale? Most of them can't read, I guess. On a more serious note, why would you bother when you have a long line of young stupidos ready to bomb themselves to paradise while sending anybody of a different opinion the opposite way? Incidentally, you know what the Americans called the Kamikaze? "Baka". Taro

Re: The bigger question that comes to mind is why the Saudis, who have billions and billions more $ in resources than the Israelis, aren't doing something similar translating Israeli extremist media on 10x the scale? Perhaps because... ...they are kept in check by 150,000 US troops. Perhaps because that's what the deal between FDR and Ibn Saud was all about? The Saudi "quisling" dynasty doesn't meddle in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and funnel the zillions of petrodollars back to US banks (T-bonds, US stocks, real estate, etc) instead of supplying Palestinian freedom-fighters with top-notch military gear. In exchange, the US provides the Saudi family with a pretorian guard and a strategic alliance... Unfortunately (for the Zionists), a similar deal with Shia Islam fell through in 1979 when Iran's Pahlavi dynasty was toppled.... Gus
