CATS & DOGS ETC. At The Corner, Brookhiser chalks the snide attitude at debka.com up to "Israeli arrogance." And none of his colleagues called him an anti-Semite! Lemme check Sullivan -- nope, nothing there either. (But of course Brookhiser is not French.)

Actually I have met some Israelis who were all a pain in the ass in the same way -- insufferably superior and completely deaf to the opinions or needs of others. Of course that's not a Jewish thing -- most Jews I know are exactly the opposite. I put it down to life in a heavily militarized nation, surrounded by enemies.

How long before we start acting like that?
