As with the Zionist Right generally, he makes the mistake of racializing the Sudan problems, using anti-Semitic language accusing "Arabs" of killing thousands of "black Africans."
But the "Arabs" of the Sudan are black (some are brown or lighter shades of black, but not by any means all, and anyway so are e.g. Eritreans just to the south). The Sudanese "Arabs" just speak Arabic or identify with the Arabs. It isn't a matter of US-style race, which is based on color. Moreover, the people of Darfur are Muslims and many know Arabic. So the massacres in Darfur are not about "Arabs" versus "black Africans." They are between two groups of Muslim black Africans.
He shows pictures of two Sudanese and defies «anyone to tell me which is the "black African" and which the "Arab" Janjawid in these pictures.»
juan cole is a extremist islamic supporter. If you read what he writes, it wouldn't take 5 minutes to understand that. Quoting him in the support of your argument is like quoting saudi arabia's interior minister that saudi arabia is not supporting terrorism. In other words: nobody believes you. As stated earlier, juan cole and these arab apologists manage to bring in Zionism as the main factor of their discontent in sudan. You have quoted juan cole's Zionism paragraph. Can you EXPLAIN how the hell does Zionism tie in with the sudan matter?
jimvj: If you depend on photos to distinguish Sudanese rebels and the janjaweed, you're basically too naieve to understand or comment in this matter. Did you read the article that Dave linked to in this post? Chances are that you did not. Eventhough he quotes from that article right in his post, you choose to ignore it. The article he quotes shreds your "opinion". Ignoring facts to support your argument is detrimental to your post.
