Oh, articles like this take me back to the good old days of FREE PRESS and good quality investigative journalism,instead of the State-propaganda infotainment on numbing and dumbing world media.
EXCELLANT ARTICLE Hari.
And very true!
Unpleasant,but TRUE!
Including the very poigant point about Israel being the 'blooming' oasis in the desert,like Dubai,was painted to be in the Gulf.
Now,both are destined to be wastelands stained with human rights abuse,racism,bigotry and dictatorships.
And both are money-laundering centers,funders,for terrorism.
And just think....
Bush ALMOST gave our US PORTS to the UAE/DUBAI PORT AUTHORITY!
Phew! That was a dangerous close-call!
