Arab American News: Right Here !
IN America every citizen is entitled to their own opinion and has the right to express it in a peaceful manner. There is no question about it. However, what concerns me about this article from the American based Arab American News is that a paper published by people living in The United States can still take the position of Israel as the bogeyman , seeking destruction of it's 300 million neighbors by manipulating and then utilizing the United States in a puppet like manner.
It's fascinating because it is happening right here. You would hope that Arabs living here in America would have a broader based perspective than those living in any of the dictatorships through out the Middle East. Perhaps a bit better perspective. Unfortunately it appears not to be so.
Why this is ultimately so dangerous for the survival of the state of Israel is a fact few talk about today but will not be able to avoid in the future. Over the next 10 or 15 years population trends predict that there will be more Arabs and Muslims living in the United States than Jews. That translates into more voting power and will simply shift the policy position pendulum with our the self-serving, survival first politicians.
Watch and wait.
Aiming toward disaster

What would it take to persuade Israel to rethink its attitude towards its Arab neighbors — and primarily towards the Palestinians? The Hamas victory in Gaza is surely a clear signal that an Israeli change of direction is urgently needed.
