Land of a thousand conspiracy theories. The only part of the interview that makes sense is when the host say, "We are a little confused here."

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.

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."

I'll say they're confused.:)
Sigh.
This seems to be pervasive across the Arab world: if you really want to insult someone, call him a Jew, or an Israeli, or a Zionist.
You'd think that it would be sufficient for an Iraqi to tell other Iraqis that al-Qaeda is bad because they terrorize villages, and subvert Islam, and brutally kill and desecrate innocent Muslims. But no, that just doesn't have the impact of saying that they're Jews.
Grow up, people.
This seems to be pervasive across the Arab world: if you really want to insult someone,
No, not just the Arab world, unless of course you are referring to the world of the future.
It runs rife through the fascist left in today's world.
I agree with Cynic. We know who keep invoking Jews, Jewish sentiments, Jewish traditions, Jewish names, etc., when they wish to de-legitimize a policy or a movement. A Jewish public figure's preferred policies are automatically assumed to be underpinned by his/her Jewishness. As in this example which I picked up randomly on the Internet (uttered by someonre who desrcibes himself as a democratc and Leftist):
"… now a misguided madman Jew Lieberman is saying we must bomb Iran.”
Apparently, only crazy Jews advocate tough policies vis a vis Iran, which is why it is necessary to include in criticism of this position the reminder that JL is a Jew when he talks about American foreign policy. Mention a Jew in reference to a controversial policy, and you have no more honest intellectual work to do.
