In every footage I see of Israeli negotiations with Arab delegations, the Israeli officials look confident, proud, strong, feisty, cocky, and arrogant, while the Arab officials invariably look weak, pathetic, submissive, hesitant, and eager to please. Just watch the footage of Abbas and `Urayqat meeting with Olmert today and you get what I mean.
PS The Saudi/American propaganda rehabilitation of Muhammad Dahlan will officially begin tomorrow when the annoying Gizelle Khuri "interviews" Dahlan (she calls him "Abu Fadi") on Al-Arabiyya TV.
