Hussein Ibish: Anti-Iraqi Racist لا بأس بالقوم من طول ومن غلظ جسم البغال وأحلام العصافير
The Washington establishment Arabs have internalized the ideology, political culture, and sensibilities of the ruling class in this country. With anti-Arab, anti-Muslim prejudice being the last acceptable form of racism, they have no qualms making bigoted statements such as the one we got today from Hussein Ibish. Ibish would never make such a remark about any European or American city or attribute Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’s long list of hateful, vile utterings to a Jewish clerical title. Had he done so, Washington exigencies would compel Ibish and the ATFP to issue a formal apology, and their next black-tie-gala at the Ritz-Carlton would be put in jeopardy of not having any US officials in attendance.
