Leaders in the Arab world are worried.

Very.

And, in the international news media, they talk about how worried they are, what they are worried about, and then blame it all on Israeli aggression.

They say that Israel’s war with Hezbollah is radicallizing the ‘Arab street’ (the average Arab) and threatening the stability of the Middle East.

Outside of Israel, stability in the Middle East is a fragile thing.

So, Arab leaders bleet and baa over how terrible Israel is, but I have a question:

Where were they when Iran was delivering missiles to Hezbollah via Syria?

If you’ve been as upset as I have been about the media coverage of Israel and the conflict in Lebanon, you will be pleased to see the media being caught in the act.

Here’s a great article by Tom Gross in the National Review:

Media Missles

Now you know WHY they make you want to scream.

All of this ‘journalistic integrity’ that the media talks about is a lie.

I happen to know from other sources, that Beirut does NOT look like a bombed out city. Yet, the media would have you believe that Israel has targeted the entire city – and not just those buildings housing the Hezbollah command and control centers in the south.

If you did as you were told and saw Obsession, here’s a look at the other side:

http://www.gamla.org.il/english/news/brothers.htm

It’s a short, powerful video about the brave boys and girls putting their lives on the line in the North. It doesn’t say everything in three minutes, but it says a lot.

Beware.

If I can’t watch it without losing composure, you may not be able to either.

Thanks Roni, for pointing this one out to me.

A friend of mine called me up last night and said, “John, you’ve gotta see this movie.”

Being the rather cynical guy that I am, my mental response was “Well, I don’t HAFTA see anything.”

Not knowing that she was already talking to the world expert on everything, she went on, “It encapsulates the whole conflict. Everything.”

Riiiiight, I thought. ANOTHER moviearticlethoughtidea that explains lifetheuniverseandeverything.

Worse, my friend was telling ME, Mr. World-Expert-on-Islam-and-the-Arab-Israeli-conflict.

She didn’t know how shaky her ground was, so she went on. “It’s about an hour long, but you REALLY need to see it.”

I hate conspiracy theories.

I was spoon-fed them as a kid, but when I got a Little more sense and realized how stupid they were… I stopped believing in them.

They are tiresome and give me a rash.

The interesting thing about the Arabs, though, is that they thrive on conspiracy theories. Everything that happens to them is a cynical plot to steal their camels.

(Frankly, I love the idea of the Jews secretly ruling the world. We non-Jews certainly haven’t been doing such a great job of it ourselves.)

Why do the Arabs believe so much in conspiracy theories?
