Bringing Jews and Arabs Together

Thanks to the obnoxious comments of Andrew Young, there is now something that Jews and Arabs can agree upon. The former Wal-Mart spokesman joined Mel Gibson, and Cynthia McKinney in the High-Profile-Jew-Haters Club. In Young's case, though, he's expanded his hatred to Arabs and Koreans.

Young was asked about whether he was concerned that Wal-Mart causes smaller, mom-and-pop stores to close.

"Well, I think they should; they ran the mom-and-pop stores out of my neighborhood," the paper quoted Young as saying. "But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us, selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables. And they sold out and moved to Florida. I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores."

And now, to no one's surprise, Mr. Young is being denounced by Jewish, Arab, and Korean groups.

So, for a brief, shining moment, Arabs and Jews are on the same side of an issue. I know it's not much, but the fact that Jews and Arabs can agree on anything is a step in the right direction. For that I want to thank Mr. Young for publicly demonstrating his vile hatred, a hatred that Debbie Schlussel warned us about back in March.

. . . Now, there's Young--another reason why Wal-Mart is a poor choice as cause-celebre for conservatives. Andrew Young was forced to resign as Jimmy Carter's U.N. Ambassador in 1979 because he met with the P.L.O. and, through his actions, legitimized the group. The P.L.O. was a designated terrorist entity at the time and U.S. officials were forbidden with meeting with the group.

But Young didn't stop there. He predicted that his meeting with the Palestinian terrorists would create "the constituency for the Palestinians." It became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Many believe--with good reason--that Young met with these terrorists because of his hatred of Jews and his desire to further break down the disintegrating relationship between American Blacks and Jews.

Young became a defender and lionizer of Palestinian terrorists who brutally murdered U.S. officials (including the then-highest ranking Black diplomat George Curtis Moore--so bludgeoned that authorities could not differentiate him on sight from the White diplomat the Palestinians also tortured to death). But, also, Young's meeting became the prominent first step down the slippery legitimacy slope for what is now the HAMAS terror nation-state.
