\\\"No offense, but those are some of the worst sources for anything I have ever seen. They\\\'re either Islamophobic, ultra-nationalist or racist cesspools and literature that are no better than the \\\'evil arabs\\\' you\\\'ve described in your post. \\\"

Firstly, as someone who has actually read some of those sources and primary material by people who can safely be considered \\\"evil Arabs\\\" (note: not all Arabs or even all pro-Palestinians by a long shot, but the deep enders), I\\\'m skeptical of the last bit. But that\\\'s not as important.

First thing I\\\'d as is do you have any proof that they are as you say?

And more importantly: *where and how are they wrong*?

I\\\'d probably say the latter is more important than the former; actual evidence is still actual evidence, even if it was something from trash like Stormfront or Al Qaeda\\\'s newsletter. Which is why the main issue I would have citing either would be the quality of their claims (which granted are usually not great, but that\\\'s the fault of the claims themselves, but of the people making them).

This is especially important because a lot of it does jive with the news from more reliable sources (like Memri and primary documents), and Arab anti-Palestinian sentiment has been very powerful throughout this entire sorry mess (just look at Jordan and the Sinai). So that does make me question.

Again, I\\\'m not meaning to put it down or say those sources in particular are wonderful. Just that I\\\'ve done a fairly in-depth look over them and that they don\\\'t seem to be English version equivalents of-say- Hamas\\\'s letters. And I do think that the discrimination the Palestinian Arabs have suffered from their fellow Arabs is worth including in this Useful Notes article.

Regards!
