blaming the Arabs for Israeli war crimes

This is sinister propaganda formula engineered by Thomas Friedman in his first book, From Tel Aviv to Tel Aviv.  Here he repeats the silly formula:  "There is a Jewish state today because of hard men, like Ariel Sharon, who were ready to play by the local rules..." So when Israeli terrorist commit massacres, they blame Arabs because they taught them the methods of terrorism.  So blame those who died in Israeli massacres for teaching their killers how to kill them.
