Zogby blamed a "steady diet of anti-Arab information" for the swing in public opinion, saying that "those who are seeking to disrupt and discredit the relationship are working overtime."

Yes, there's nothing like the hi-jacked 767 diet, followed by arrogant Saudi princes and the lack of muslim outrage over terrorist attacks. You lose weight quickly when a terrorist muslim comes around. And it's all from people calling themselves muslim. Why can't the idiots understand that and clean up their own house?

arabs always complain that Americans are ignorant (because we don't agree with them). Check out this recent cartoon from arabnews.com. Well... we are educated now. Now wonder support for arabs dropped:

There's the problem. Zogby shows he's just a lefty concerned with "representation" of and "perception" about other nations, rather than facts. I can't explain Egypt, but as for Saudi Arabia, is the "anti-Arab" information reasoned analysis and revealing of facts about their education system, their real beliefs, suppression of women and religion, etc. etc.? I had thought Zogby was more reasoned (relatively). Shows himself just to be another left-reactionary playing a kind of "race card." His statements mean, in other words, Americans are dupes and stupid. It's all a language game with them. Any statement about any country is a threat to all and must be countered with insults and insinuations about conspiracies. Now, according to Zogby, the conspiracies are working "overtime." He's delusional.

Actually the average American is more informed about the mid-east than any "western" people I've met. Note that "61 percent of respondents saying that the Israelis and Palestinians were equally to blame", certainly a snetiment one doesn't find much at FR. :)

Take the oil out of the equation and then see the real results.

What "anti-Arab info is this person referring to? The Muslims ARE intolerant, ARE extremists, ARE anti-American. I saw a 60 Minutes segment where university students in Kuwait (not uneducated hicks, and in a country WE liberated from a brother Arab/Muslim aggressor, one where we should have the strongest support) comdemn the US, saying that the reason that we Americans believe the way we do is because "the Jews control the US media." That has to be the most ignorant statement in the history of the world. Where do they get their "untainted" news...Al Jizzerra??? (LOL) So, anti-US hatred is widespread in the Muslim world, and that based upon the most biased, hate-filled propaganda that man has ever seen. I'll gladly listen to any info to the contrary, but I feel at this point that there is little to counter what most Americans have seen up to this point: anti-Americanism, supposedly based on our support of Israel, just because we will not assist them in pushing Israel into the sea. You Muslims are going to have to get used to living with the fact that Israel will always exist, and will never be destroyed. Failure to do so will only delay peace. Trying to push the West around will pay no dividends and will only cause you loss and pain. Get that into your thick, rag-wrapped heads!!!

James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute and brother of the editor of the survey, John Zogby, said that "what the results show is that a tremendous task confronts those who value the relationship and the pursuit of Middle East peace ... The downward slide can be arrested and reversed, but it will require a concerted effort."

This from the two foremost Palestinian lobbyists in the USA. I guess it has something to do with their people killing thousands and the dispicable support of those murderous actions.

At least Arabs recognize that being shot at is a form of speech.

I note that Israelis were not celebrating the attacks on Sept 11, 2001. Does anyone think maybe that those celebrations in Arab nations have anything to do with Americans disdain for the these desert tribes?

Nah, the Arabs think it is a conspiracy.

Stay well - stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

With a little more time you and the other JDL shills will manage to turn it around.

The Arab lobby in Washington is blaming the "anti-Arab propaganda campaign" that has been waged since the September 11 attacks for the shift in attitude.

No, it's the resounding silence from the Arab community, here and abroad, condemning OBL and like-minded terrorists. If I had my way, all Mid-Eastern non-citizens would be kicked out of the USA (& maybe even some so-called citizens). Is that a PC attitude - no. Do I care - H*LL no.

I'm all for honest immigrants who appreciate attaining freedom and working hard. My ancestors came to America from Germany in the early 1700's. But since the liberal PC crowd infected our government - read that as communist DemoRATS - we have allowed foreigners into this country who have used our freedoms to protect them in their fight to ruin America.

On a related note, 280 million is enough, cut off all immigration except to spouses of Americans.
