I'm shocked that they're shocked . . .
other than that - I'm merely horrified Yep, a firm grasp of the obvious is the cornerstone of sanity. And it is good to be out front about where ya stand. And sometimes what is true is deeply disturbing nonetheless.The proposed [UN] resolution would issue a general condemnation of all forms of anti-Semitism and acts of intolerance, incitement and harassment. The decision would also call on member countries to take steps to block anti-Semitism. ... At a closed meeting held recently in New York, UN ambassadors from Arab and EU countries met and the Arabs made clear that they do not accept the initiative for the UN General Assembly to condemn anti-Semitism. The blunt language used by the Arabs describing their opposition, and their plans to use diplomatic means to prevent the resolution from reaching a vote, shocked the Europeans, said a UN source. According to UN sources, the Arab delegates were also critical of a UN seminar on anti-Semitism held last month.
and there it is. [more, locally ]
Wow, that’s just crazy. I mean who would have thunk that the Arab League, that wonderful group of caring and enlightened despots, would go against such a resolution? The next thing you know somebody is going to come up to me and tell me that they are sheltering and supporting the government of Sudan in their attempts to cleanse the black population out of their country. Such things are just beyond the limits of ordinary imagination.
Shocked, I am. Shocked and amazed.

On one hand, the Arabs have never liked the Israelis. But you’d think the Europeans would have learned their lesson from WWII.
