The events in `Akka are just incredible. Imagine if this was in a Muslim country: imagine if a Muslim community was offended because a Christian driver drove through the neighborhood. Under such a scenario the Security Council would have met, and the US congress would have cried out. The US media are largely ignoring the clashes: or dismissing them as "sectarian clashes" as the New York Times has done. Sometimes you feel that Zionists would really like for the entire Arabs of the Middle East to relocate away from the region so as to not offend the religious sensibilities of the state. And that lousy Arab driver: how he appeared trembling as if he were a slave before an Israeli official committee offering the Israeli investigators to whip him if they so decide. A what unto the nations?
