Israel painting with a brush

I was thinking: Israel happens to paint with a brush all Arabs with the color of whoever happens to be the enemy of the US de jeur.  During the Cold War, Israel pleaded with the West to believe that all Arabs are communists.  During the era of Sep. 11, Israel pleads with the West to believe that all Arabs are Bin Ladenites.  The funny (not really) part is that Israel is believed in all cases.
