U.S. to Israel: Be nicer to Arab-Americans, but feel free to continue slaughtering regular Arabs

So, who says diplomacy is a thing of the past in George W. Bush’s America.

From CNN:

The State Department has complained to the Israeli government about its discriminatory treatment of Arab-Americans traveling to the Palestinian territories, senior State Department officials said Thursday.

Officials said that despite a longstanding policy of issuing visas to Americans traveling to the West Bank and Gaza, the Israeli government has recently denied Palestinian-Americans and certain other Americans entry.

During her recent trip to Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice raised the issue with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, and U.S. diplomats have also recently complained to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, officials said.

“They are being treated as Arabs and not Americans,” one senior official said. “They basically treat them as second-class citizens.”

Remember kids: Arab-Americans deserve respect, they are Americans, after all. Regular Arabs? Well, fuck them.
