Does Abigail Hauslohner read what she writes after writing it? Look at this sentence

"Jews are mostly associated with Israel, a country that Arabs are taught to hate."  Does Ms. Hauslohner know anything about the Arab world? Has she bothered to read what Arabs write on social media where there is far less government intervention?  Does she really believe that Arabs hate Israel because they are taught that? Let me offer ms. Hauslohner an elementary lesson on Arab political culture: no, Arabs don't hate Israel because they are taught by their governments.  In fact, I will surprise her: Arabs are now taught to not hate Israel by their governments most of which are now aligned with the US.  Arabs learn to hate Israel on their own without government orders simply by watching the routine of Israeli war crimes and occupation and by reading about the history of Palestinian problem.  I mean, just imagine the stupidity of the premise: that I for example fiercely oppose and detest Israel because the Lebanese government taught me to hate Israel.  Like I follow the orders of the Lebanese government on any matter.  Ms. Hausleohner: I sincerely encourage you to study the Middle East and to really read scholarly books beyond the glossy brochures of Israeli embassies.  Good luck.
