OUR POST-MODERN FRIENDS, THE SAUDIS

        Saudi Arabia, a society run by a few thousand inbred cousins proclaiming their devotion to Islam while spending their money on call girls, booze, ski lodges in Aspen, and still having enough left over to fund al Qaeda and Hamas, are in one respect quite advanced. They have a post-modern view of 'truth'. Perhaps they've studied Jacques Derrida and concluded that "truth" is merely a narrative designed to express power relations. So while most of the world has concluded that the Saudi funded madrassas and mosques have been inculcating hatred and encouraging murder of infidels, the Saudis simply create a truth more compatible with their aims: it's the Jews. Having seen the success across the Muslim world of their 9-11 'narrative': it was the Jews and the CIA who were behind it, they've now turned their attention to the education of Jewish children in Israel. Odd, while most of the world has recently taken notice of the so-called education of Arab youth, the glorification of suicide bombers, the teachings that Jews are subhuman, devourers of Arab blood,etc., the Saudis have turned their attention to Israeli education. And what have they found? Well the best source of a "narrative" version of truth is your own inner wishes and fantasies so they report that Israeli children are taught to dehumanize Arabs. Unfortunately they forgot to clear their narration with the source they cite. Will they acknowledge their deception? Don't count on it; for in the Post-modern pantheon, narrative coherence is truer than mere facts. Here's the story as reported in WorldNet:
