Great Expectations
View a great example of why we don't expect any better from the Arab media. Abd Al-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi told ANB Lebanese TV:
If the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight.
The Jerusalem Post got pathetic reactions from both Sky News and BBC News 24, where Bari Atwan is a regular commentator.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Great Expectations:
Many Arabs danced on the streets when the US was attacked on 9/11. Those people are also known to dance when Israelis are killed in terrorist attacks. One might mistake them for a nation of dancers, because there so much dancing going on on their part everytime something terrible happens. By the way Israel also has missiles, so I would hold on to my dancing just yet.
