Sharon ally calls Arabs 'worms'
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesThis will surely help to win the hearts, minds, and support of the Arab world for the Israili-Palestinian peace efforts!
An MP from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's ruling Likud party insulted Arabs as "worms" in parliamentary debate today.
"The Arabs are worms. You find them everywhere like worms, underground as well as above," said Yehiel Hazan, parliamentary leader of the main settler lobby group for Jews living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"Until we understand that we're doing business with a nation of assassins and terrorists who don't want us here, there will be no let up," he added.
"These worms have not stopped attacking Jews for a century," he said.
Hazan refused to rescind his comments as demanded by the speaker of parliament.
The right-wing Likud MP was speaking one day after five Israelis and two Palestinian gunmen were killed in an attack on an Israeli army post at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
On the other-hand, if I lived in Israel and had to put up with what the Israelis have to put-up with on a daily basis, I guess I'd be sounding off a bit myself! Besides, this is almost a complement compared to what the Islamists say about Jews, Christians,the U.S., and Israel. TheAge.com (Australia - free registration required).
