“ We had some success, at least for the moment, in not having that (resolution) arise there. And we will continue to employ the tools we have to make sure that continues to not happen” with these words Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg assured Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, perhaps the most anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and staunchest supporter of Israel and Zionist causes in Congress.

Any one watching Saeb Erekat interview with Ahmed Mansour on Aljazeera program” Without Borders” saw a different Saeb, not the pompous arrogant know it all condescending Saeb but a very scared, agitated on defensive verging on mental breakdown for the lies and reckless incompetency are coming out.

One has to compare the statements made by Helen Thomas and Henry Kissinger about Jews and Israel to see the hypocrisy and double standards that afflict official Washington, the media and public affairs in general in the US.
