(IsraelNN.com) Jordanian media last week quoted Egyptian clerics who declared that Jews are the descendants of pigs -- the only point of debate was whether they are direct descendants or not.

And yet somehow we are to take them seriously? We are supposed to be sensitive to their point of view?

You can find an Arab cleric or political (meaning terrorist most likely) leader saying something like that almost every day. That's the problem. Their society - media, religion, schools - is rife with this hatred. There are no objections or disagreements ever heard. Each generation learns it from the previous. No matter what Israel does or doesn't do, there cannot be peace unless there emerges a courageous Arab leadership willing to buck the extremism (and risk his life).

Not true. There are many Muslim leaders who have had it with this crap. There is a new generation of educated Muslims--in the U.S. and in the Middle East--who are challenging the old guard.

Perhaps, but a lot of them, and plenty of left-wing media types, still dig that crap....
