Boy, this is a hate filled diatribe if I've ever read one. I guess it should be no surprise that some Israeli 'experts' would end up being as anti-Arab as some Arabs are anti-semetic, considering the politics and behavior of Israel and it's neighbors over the past six plus decades. But must we endure a reaction to the romanticism of the movie that is just as biased, if not more so, towards Arab tribal culture? This article is not an unbiased scholar's view of a people - It is a highly prejudiced, political screed against an enemy. It should be given even less credibility than the movie. At least the movie can be forgiven for it's poetic license. This article is no more than mudslinging, poorly disguised as historical analysis.
