This kind of article makes me feel even older. Without trying to start an us vs them thread, I find this article distrubing to say the least.

Any one claiming ethnological insight, and missing the mark by this much:

"Among British Conservatives, anti-Zionism tends to go hand in hand with anti-Americanism — or, to put it in a more positive light, Europhiles tend also to be Arabists"
