"Arab identity in the past has been locked into the colonial experience. . . . It is a very good example of [how] a community can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends. . . . The world did feel sorry for their treatment but when an individual or a nation refuses to forgive and move on the regret turns into anger. . . . The Arab identity in the future appears bleak. . . . We have created a culture of violence (Palestianians and the Muslims are the biggest players) and that Culture of Violence is eventually going to destroy humanity."This paragraph could, of course, have been the spouting of any of our media "experts."
The actual paragraph is from here:
"Jewish identity in the past has been locked into the Holocaust experience. . . . It is a very good example of [how] a community can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends. . . . The world did feel sorry for the episode but when an individual or a nation refuses to forgive and move on the regret turns into anger. . . . The Jewish identity in the future appears bleak. . . . We have created a culture of violence (Israel and the Jews are the biggest players) and that Culture of Violence is eventually going to destroy humanity."This, of course, is considered anti Semitism of the worst sort and resulted in the firing of the editor that let the comment (from Arun Ghandi, grandson of the Ghandi) pass. The comment stoked apoplectic outrage in the pro Israel community.
I will leave it to you to decide the validity of the charge.
