THE ARAB PATHOLOGY EMERGES AGAIN
A gunman has shot dead a South African security guard in a Baghdad supermarket after accusing him of being Jewish in the latest example of the widespread dangers facing foreigners in Iraq...

It was not clear why the gunman, dressed in an Arab robe with a headdress covering his face, called his South African victim Jewish. Hostility towards Israel for treatment of Palestinians runs high in Iraq as elsewhere in the Arab world.
Hmmm - the Palestinians have it in the charter of their organizations that their goal is the elimination of Israel, the breed scores of suicide bombers who kill Jewish citizens, and somehow it is the Israeli treatment of Palestineans that gets the billing here.
