Why are Arabs so blind to their own mistreatment of Palestinians?

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/s鈥?/a>|||Because there are traitors and self seekers in every land. We have our Clarence Thomases and Bushes, they have the Falange, and Arab soldiers fighting for Israel. Hamas are religious fanatics, and what people really want is a secular Socialist Palestine. Whatever the reservations about Hamas the Genocide in Gaza must stop. Egypt is also betraying the Palestinians. Some Arabs may be blind, but the misleaders of reactionary Islamic nations, like Egypt , Morrocco and Jordan, know perfectly well what they are doing by sucking up to Israel and the US. They don't want a revolutionary Palestinian force in their midst.|||Arabs are not blind.... You forget something about the situation in the Arab countries... the governments are on one side and the people are on the other... govs are afraid of the US.. people want to step in and do something about all what's happening in Palestine but their gov are not allowing them....





I live in Egypt... see the marches and demonstrations in the streets everyday ... see people in the mosques praying for them everyday... see the huge amounts of aids people are sending everyday......... that's all what the people have to offer..|||The Arab states find it convenient to use the Palestinian cause to bash the west and rile up their own people. However, it is clearly notable that the Arab states (and their influence and money) have essentially done nothing to create an environment where the tensions subside and both parties can focus on a somewhat peaceful coexistence





And, it appears they simply don't care.|||Arabs are tribal in nature. That's neither good nor bad, that's just who they are. There will never be a Pan-Arabic government of any consequence. That's like saying there's going to be an alliance of all the gangs in LA. Some things are just not going to happen.|||Well, many Arabs think of Palestinians as dirt. Weak dirt, seeming that their actions aren't working too well against the Israelites. Still. They prefer them to the Israelites.|||Same reson Liberal mistreat Bush. They don't claim them or him. If they would see that they too are Arabs, and if Liberals would see that Bush too is an American, both would accept.|||Palestinians are and have always been dirt to the Arabs. Open your history books.|||Because they want to blame everything on Israel! It's easier to find a scapegoat than a solution.|||They're not blind, they just think Palestinians are scum.





But they do make great tools to throw at the Jews.|||Jihad takes no prisoners, not even the guards who stand infront of the jail cell|||It's not that there blind they don't care.|||Tunnel vision.|||is called religion and their leaders to church Muslims war era they go
