    This guy is a HERO, he tells it like it is. He should be given an award: a journalist AND an arab who is honest, who would have believed such a thing?

    One of THE BEST editorials EVER written:

    http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/as-an-arab-i-am-embarrassed-by-the-six-day-war/

    "I am embarrassed that I, and the few other Arabs who stand up to hatred, cannot do much more than speak up, and that we have not moved to action even our fellow Arabs who live comfortably in the West.

    I am embarrassed as a citizen of the West because we pay lip service to Israel but we cannot provide substantial support to Israel, for example against the Arab attempts to rewrite the past and erase the Jewish history of Jerusalem.

    I am embarrassed that we in the West are too beholden to Arab dictators to even take the symbolic step of recognizing that Jerusalem is an indivisible part of Israel.

    I am embarrassed to ethnically belong to a group that thrives on hatred and to geographically belong to a group that appeases haters.

    I am embarrassed that I cannot write these words in an Arab publication or even in a mainstream Western publication because hatred and appeasement are too strong."
