Robert Fisk gets through an entire column about the Middle East, specifically about the Arab League, without once so much as mentioning Israel. Instead, his scathing comments about Arab governments, usually simply cover for attacks on Israel, go to the front of the class.

[T]he Arab League’s belief that the resolution really restrains the United States from invading shows just how far from reality the League is.
Until Syria’s vote for the resolution on Friday, every Arab was supposed to believe that the UN vote would provide a trigger for a US invasion. The moment Syria voted for the resolution, every Arab was supposed to believe it deprived the US of the trigger.
It will provide some relief to regular Fisk watchers to know that he does at least denounce the CIA.
