Notice that Zionists always have to make a reference to an "Arab friend", as if that token reference can conceal their hostility to Arabs. Don't they know how much they sound like those racists who claim that their "best friends are black"? In fact, even Raphael Patai cites a "Palestinian friend" in his book, The Arab Mind.

The New York Times plans to eliminate 100 newsroom jobs — about 8 percent of the total

n addition to the newsroom cuts, The Times said Monday that it would offer buyouts to Newspaper Guild-represented employees in other departments, including advertising. But the paper says it is not seeking to eliminate a specific number of jobs among those workers.

Just as the Jerusalem Post has Khaled Abu Toameh, the New York Times has Taghreed El-Khodary. It has become important for Zionist media to have a token native on the staff, to soften the impact of racism and bias to the reader--the dumb and ill-informed reader only.

To throw the shoe, or not to throw the shoe: a cultural dilemma. Don't you love it when Western reporters explain to their readers differences between their culture and Arab culture? I don't know about you, but I really love it. Here is from the New York Times: "During the argument, heated words were exchanged and shoes were thrown, a severe insult in the Arab world." So throwing a shoe at somebody is a "severe insult in the Arab world" but not anywhere else? How exotic. Tell me more, o culture experts of the New York Times. So today, I wanted to test this theory. So I got out of my house with a bag of shoes: I started throwing them, shoe by shoe, at my neighbor, aiming at the face. My neighbor laughed, and could only say nice things to me as a good neighbor. He then explained: you see, o Arab neighbor, in our American culture, throwing a shoe at somebody is not an insult at all. In fact, it is taken as a sign of affection. I returned back to my house, having learned about American culture, what I knew not before. Thanks to you, New York Times (and your intelligent and culturally informed reporters).

Thomas Friedman hailed the death as another sign of the progress of Palestinian democracy.
