Here's the story of a program backed by the State Department, designed to foster Middle Eastern entrepreneurship, that claims not to discriminate on the basis of race or religion. But then comes the small print. Apparently, the privilege of freedom from race and religious discrimination isn't extended to Israelis. Oh, Israelis are allowed, but only "Israel (limited to Israeli Arab citizens)."
All this was until one blogger blew the whistle. Now comes the scramble to re-write: US State Department backing program that discriminates against Jewish Israeli entrepreneurs
Edit: Now if we could only get State to stop linking to David Irving's site from this page.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
I have a comment about this but it isn't polite.
Why are these things starting to feel like a pattern? W/M, this stuff, the outrageous comments by Ahmadijenad, who practically quotes the Protocols and says, if the world is quiet, Europe will "eliminate the Zionists":

It's high time, also, that people starting understanding the real nature of the Arab League boycotts against Israel.
