The (anti-Israeli) comments by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, broadcast live Wednesday on state-run Iranian television, drew quick condemnation from Israel, the European Union and the United States.
However, in the United Arab Emirates, the top three Arabic-language newspapers buried the remarks deep in their Thursday editions, with no commentary. Newspapers in the country are government-controlled.
In neighboring Saudi Arabia, government-controlled newspapers picked up the statements from international news agencies and ran them on inside pages. They did not comment on them.
I checked out the al-Jazeera web site, they had an article about Hamas jumping up to defend the Iranian position against Israel.
And that's why bloggers (on the right) call it al-Jihad.
