Leading from way, way, way behind

Apparently, the new government in Egypt includes at least one prominent official who denies the Holocaust.  Now I'll grant that picking sides in the Middle East isn't easy, but when one of our "allies" has key officials denying the Holocaust, is it too much to ask that we not ship F-16s to them?

On the light side, one of the taunts thrown at Jews by these "allies" of ours is that Jews are "the descendants of apes and pigs."  OK, so that means that Abraham was one or the other....so why are Arabs, the descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael, saying this?

Qu'ranic scholarship has taken a dive since the days of Scheherazade, I guess.

and yet, there are those who claim the holocaust has not yet ended..

i seek Truth, it is sorely lacking from BOTH sides, yes, even the 'jew' side.

what i do know: when a Christian Arab is told, through the barrel of a gun, that he MUST leave his home now, or be killed by the Zionist in the name of God, Truth was killed a long time ago.

Gino; given that about 80% of Israel is secular, and the religious Israelis are notorious for not serving in the IDF (there are laws exempting Torah students), suffice it to say that the situation you describe is rare to nonexistent. You seriously need to get some more accurate sources about Israel.
