Why is it that the 'arabs' only come out to protest when something bad is happening in their country? You dont see them protesting when bad things are happening in other countries....you see them celebrating! Is this selective media?

Where are the protests when rockets slam into Isreal? When soldiers are kidnapped? When suicide bombers kill innocent civilians?

You dont seem to see any 'arabs' protesting then, do you? They seem quite happy to ignore any deaths caused by terrorists until the actions of those same terrorists cause repercussions in their home country!

As I see it thats one of the biggest problems! They support terrorist organizations (hezbollah, hamas etc) both financially and verbally yet blame others when they are retaliated against for the atrocities that these terrorist commit!

Isn't it the same 'blame the foreigners' phenomenon we see here? Korean companies pollute the Han so much that no one will eat the fish, but a national uproar occurs when some US army guy dumps a few gallons of formaldehyde in it.
