The small stories illustrate the Arab obsession with Israel

Egypt's West and Central Delta Writers Association held  its 15th annual conference this week.

In its final session, this unimportant regional  association released its list of resolutions.

One of them was to declare that "Israel is our primary and biggest enemy. All intellectuals must reject all forms of normalization and expose all dealings with the Zionist entity whether the purpose is trade or religion or politics."

There are plenty of NGOs and Western agencies in Egypt that supposedly help to foster human rights and other worthy causes. But when it comes to relations between Arabs and Israel, they don't even bother, because they know that the hate is a constant.

But they will spend millions of euros in Israel to fight supposed anti-Arab racism there.

And those NGOs put out a steady stream of reports to justify their existence about how horrible Israelis are.

And those reports get publicized in the media.

And causal consumers of the media don't even have the possibility of knowing what these NGOs know very well but won't ever report: that the hate that the Arabs have for Israel and Jews is orders of magnitude worse than the worst that you can say about Israeli opinions of Arabs.

Even people who want to research the truth about Israel and the Arab world do not have the means to find out about the crazed derangement that this small story illustrates, because the data is simply not out there for them. If there are no reports, then there is no evidence of a problem.

The entire system is rigged to make Israel look as bad as possible and to ignore endemic Arab hate.
