Palestinians Don't Like Condi

According to the Jerusalem Post, the Palestinian newspaper al-Ayyam has taken some shots at Condi Rice. They have called her a "black widow," and a "Lady of Steel." They also call her "as pretty as supermodel Naomi Campbell" and "more intelligent than the iron woman Margaret Thatcher."

Now those last two insults really don't strike me as too insulting. I think what is happening is that the Palestinians are having trouble reconciling the idea that they might have to actually deal with a woman, a powerful woman. And they don't like it.

I guess the institutional racism of the PA knows no bounds.

They should be very grateful that Rice and Powell are intelligent enough to rise above the PA's petty racism.
