MEMRI's rendition of the wider arab discourse is accurate enough. but its tendentious choice of materials cast the arab world in a much worse light than that discourse, taken as a whole, could reasonably justify. it is a game two sides could play. if the arabs were seriously to play it they would not have to peer into the darker and more disreputable corners of israeli newspapers, or mine more exotic seams of political and religious rhetoric, though they would find 'incitement' and 'vile ideology' in plenty if they did. they would barely have to look beyond the statements of the israeli leadership. such statements have occassionly made it into western media ,precisely because they did come from such exalted quarters. but there is no all powerful arab lobby group exploiting them, no arab MEMRI disseminating them in systematic complications and analyses. and, even if there were, it is doubtful whether, given the dominant orthodoxy, american politicians and pundits would consider them to be as representative of a general israeli disposition as their arab counterparts are of an arab one. nonethless, they are just as representative and no less shocking and discriminating.
'the palestinians would be crushed like grasshoppers... heads smashed against the bouders and wall'.- yitzak shamir

There is no mainstream hatred of Arabs among Jews in Israel, which is pretty impressive considering all the crimes of the Arab Nation against the Jews down through the ages. In contrast, despite the absence of Jewish barbarism against Arabs, Jew hatred is mainstream in the Arab World. The Jews revere life; the Arabs love death. There can be no meeting of the minds with such totally opposed perspectives and due to the Arab refusal to reconcile itself to Jewish sovereignty in the Middle East, the prospects for peace remain like a mirage in the desert.

There he goes with the moral equivalency argument again. The mainstream media and press in Israel does not incite hatred against Arabs. On the other hand, the mainstream Arab media, mosques and schools do incite hatred and violence against Jews on a regular basis. The Arab press is reminiscent of the nazi press.

there is a hatred of arabs by jews in israel.
all you have to do is look at the illegal settlers in the occuppied territories who harass women children,loot and vandalize arab property and their vile ideology which helped murdered yitzak rabin because he had become 'worst than hitler','rabin is a traitor', 'rabin is a murderer,' and 'Rabin should be killed'. as the environment minister of israel, yossi sarid, put it: "yigal amir murdered Rabin alone, but he was sent by many".
the many, and their vile ideology, have also created terrorist such as Baruch Goldstein who mudered 29 innocent arabs in the hebron massacre.

and live in colour the hatred of non jews in israel by jewish terrorist who are protected by the state

Fool, there is no comparison to the state sponsored, broad-based anti-semitism found regularly in mosques, the media and schools.

Baruch Goldstein was an isolated incident which occurred several years ago. How many Jews did Arabs murder or attempt to murder during that same time period? Your attempt at moral equivalency is pathetic.

laura ,all you have to do is look in the mirror to see a racial bigot full of hatred.

The arabs of Judea and Samaria are Jew haters due to their islamic ideology that is a religion, a culture and a political system. This total belief system comes from the koran, the hadith and the sira. The texts are filled with horrendous hate verses and stories about the Jews, Christians and idolators. This hatred is made sacred and permanent by a primitive blood lusting god. It's all there, in these books, just like memri shows it to be.

why then do the christian arabs of the west bank hate the zionist????????
occupation, oppression and disposession is the answer.

The Christians are intimidated by their muslim persecutors. So publicly they will blame Israel for their plight. But the fact is that it is the muslims who have been driving out Christians in Judea and Samaria as well as Gaza and for that matter, throughout the muslim world.

Sass, why is it that Arab citizens can walk about freely in Israeli cities? You can see them everywhere, in hospitals, universities, shops, malls. I know because I see them every day. But how many Israelis do you see in Palestinian or Arab cities? The answer is nearly a big fat zero. And why would that be? I can tell you why. Because any Israeli daring to set foot in an Arab town literally risks his life. If he makes it out alive it is fodder for the headlines.

what about the arabs in the west bank which have to go through checkpoint, get permission to travel and are cut off from one another.not to mention the violence they experience every day by the settlers and the humiliation of having to be watched and searched. a 20 minute trip can take 5 hours if your lucky and have the relevant papers.
there are many israeli in arab palestinian towns. they are called 'illegal settlers' and there is something like 500 000 of them illegally occupying arab lands.
what do you expect the palestinians to do when israel is disposessing them of their homeland- do you expect them to welcome their oppressors with open arms.
