MEMRI has posted excerpts from an article in the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat explaining why the candidacy of Joe Lieberman is a good thing:
[by selling out Israel]
. . . this fear . . . could lead the Jewish president to offer the Palestinians what was not offered by the sole Catholic president (John Kennedy) and the heads of all the Protestant denominations who followed him to the White House, ending with George Bush
[i.e., Muslim president any day now]
. . . which would force the Zionist organizations in America to launch a confrontation with the Protestant, Anglo-Saxon 'establishment' in America. Any 'side' struggle involving the Zionist organizations inside the United States would, in the long run, reduce the Zionist influence in Washington.Yup, any way you cut it, a Lieberman presidency would be good for the Arabs. Now, isn't that refreshing?
