Yup that is the absolute truth. Their hateful propaganda puts the spin
- meisters of the Third Reich or Stalin's USSR or Castro's Cuba to
absolute shame...Julius Streicher is but a piker compared to the
ignorant goons who infest and run most of the Arab media.

Even the Egyptian popular press constantly spews age - old lies about
Jews, e.g. that they sacrifice Christian children, etc. And this is a
country that is at relative *peace* with Israel...

I've noticed that not a whole lot of Arab newspapers/media are easily
available on - line. There is a *reason* for that...

If you have a shortwave radio you can tune in to some of the Arab state
- run stations that propagate this crap. It's laughable stuff to folx
like us, but not so funny when you realise that many, many millions
consider it gospel truth...
