I understand Stan to mean that just as the Arabs have persecuted the
Christians in Lebanon so have the Arabs persecuted the Israelis in the ME.
In both cases the persecuted are victims of the irrational animosity of the
Arabs toward all who are not Arab.
Gabriel makes this point repeatedly. Her sweeping conflation of "Arab"
Muslim" and "radical Islamists" got her into trouble with the students at
Queens.
A recent (July 26, 2006) interview with her on CNN is here. Notice her
unique explanation for how radical islamists have "bred" themselves (through
multiple marriages) into winning the political process!
An interesting rhetorical ploy for "othering" - besides all the other faults
of these radicals, they don't have the same (natural/normal/biblical) sexual
values (that we/americans do).

I'm still looking for clarification of who "THEY" are and the use of "with"
in the first sentence. I have NO idea what Stan was going for in this
paragraph.
