Arab News is an interesting

Arab News is an interesting source; some of its stuff is reasonably mainstream, some is wacky. This is an example of both at once. I like the headline: “Neo-conservatives and pro-Israel lobby working to destabilize Middle East.” In a sense, that’s true. The Middle East has been way too stable for way too long. The article focuses on the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, which it characterizes as a “nefarious” group working toward the “balkanization” of the Middle East. It is interesting to see this kernel of truth–increasing unity and cooperation between conservative Christians and conservative Jews–cast in a sinister light. Our view of this alliance is, of course, the opposite of Arab News’.
