One cannot imagine a Western politician or intellectual or Western newspaper writing or publishing such a hateful screed. Sen. Trent Lott was forced to resign in December 2002 as Senate leader for a single remark about segregation, as it happens, not long after the above diatribe against Jews by the Egyptian journalist. There would be an outcry if any Western politician made similar remarks about Arabs, from both inside and outside the West. Such an outcry would be a flagrant case of double standards, but it is also, of course, a compliment to the West. We do not expect such behavior from Western intellectuals and politicians.
