This is hilarious: the staunch defense of Arab dictators and their "dignity" from Israeli leaders

"The US position did not go far enough to win the support of the Egyptian protesters, but by disgracing Mubarak the administration made statements that will alienate any future government based on Mubarak’s men.

Did it mean that as soon as an Arab leader gets into trouble, he starts to get disowned?"
