Bashing Arabs for Fun and Profit

I get particularly annoyed to see Jewish rightwingers bash Arabs. Have they no respect for humanity? Aren't we all created in God's image?

It's only a matter of time before some idiot like Chardal, Rafi G, MevaseretZion, Dovbear, Lurker, Jameel, JoeSettler or the "Jewish" worker puts up yet another boring posting bashing Arabs.

Here's a perfect example of what they do. They take an article from YNET, and yank it so hard to the right it almost careens off the road.

YNET: Did former PA chairman try to smuggle cell phones?

Former Palestinian Authority Chairman Rawhi Fattuh was caught attempting to smuggle 3,000 cell phones at the Allenby crossing on Tuesday. Fattuh, currently an advisor to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, was on his way from Jordan to the PA.

The Office of coordinator of the government activities in the territories confiscated Fattuh's VIP pass claiming that he had abused his privilege by trying to sneak the phones in.

Fattuh said that this driver was responsible for the embarrassing incident.

On Tuesday, Fattuh arrived to the Allenby border terminal accompanied by his driver. He presented his VIP pass, however Tax Authority personnel decided to search the vehicle he was traveling in. They located 3,000 cellular phones, which were confiscated soon afterwards.

While YNET correctly shifts the blame away from the former PA Chairman to his driver, rightwingers will jump on the fact that the three thousand mobile phones were allegedly in the PA Chairman's car. We don't know for a fact that these phones were stolen. We don't know how these phones got in the car. For all we know, these phones were destined for Palestinian school children in Gaza so they could be in touch with their parents after murderous accidental IDF attacks on "terrorists".

There's no reason in the world that the former PA Chairman would try to illegally smuggle in mobile phones. It's beneath his stature, and as an elected leader, I doubt he would be involved in something like this.

Aren't Jews supposed to be "dan lekaf zechut?" -- and assume the best of people?

Very un-Jewish if you ask me. Get a life people, and practice the Torah the way God intended.
