I've Been Thinking:

A high profile Palestinian Arab Israeli group was recently formed.
In simpler terms, the group is composed of Arab citizens of Israel.
And what is the raison d'etre of this group?
To give support to Syria in the "ongoing American aggression ..." in "a bid to exercise the new imperialistic plan to increase the economic and military influence over all the Arab territories."

These Israeli Arabs, as they were once called, want to show their solidarity for Syria.
They believe that Syria is being unfairly attacked by the US.
They want "to break the horrifying barrier of silence and show solidarity with Syria and its principles."

Nothing shocks me when I analyze this part of the world, but seldom do I let out such an audible laugh.
What we have here is a group of Arabs who are free to express themselves because they live in Israel- and they are praising Syria and pledging solidarity with its principles.
What principles? Certainly not respect, freedom, independence, democracy, responsibility, accountability, equality, safety, security or any of the other principles that actually allowed these prominent Israeli Arabs their right to create this "national committee."

People. They can be so naive.
