One can be Middle Eastern and not Arab, right ?

He writes of Arab translators and keeps repeating middle easterns as if all Middle easterns are Arabs.

Or is he saying that only Arab Middle Easterns are the problem?

Wasn't there a thread on FreeRepublic a while back about how our gov't wouldn't hire Jews to work as translators?

Many Jews are very fluent in Arabic. It is not very different from Hebrew.

But the gov't didn't want to hire Jews to translate, because it would piss off the Arabs, do I remember that right?
