Lies on US TV about Arab attitudes

"I mean, even in the Arab world, do you know what they call you? They call you Superman!"  Who in the Arab world calls him "Superman"?  Just who.  I guess i follow Arab politics and media rather closely and I never once heard or read that he was ever called Superman.  The days when Arabs thought that Mossad is miraculous in its abilities and reach are long gone.  You know how these things start? They start with the Israelis themselves.  Stahl is as ignorant as the next Washington reporter and she goes to Israel and in preparation some Israeli Mossad person, possibly Dagan himself, tells that story to impress an American who has a need to be impressed by things Israelis.
