Obsession with Israel Makes Us All Ignorant
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Robin Shepherd - One of the most noteworthy consequences of the current wave of protests and revolutions across the Arab world is that when you click on the Middle East section of the BBC website something extraordinary happens: you are no longer bombarded with the word "Israel." The obsession with Israel is not just making us sick - societally, morally, civilizationally - it is also making us stupid. People watching and reading the major media outlets can tell you the names of suburbs of east Jerusalem. Ask them to name the capital city of Jordan, and most will struggle. The bright lights of publicity suddenly go dark over the Middle East when Jews cannot be held responsible for misbehavior.
