Ajami: The House Arab

The Angry Arab Speaks
Fouad Ajami is America's favorite House Arab: a neo-con Lebanese who goes out of his way to make the White Man comfortable in his prejudice and hostility toward Arabs thinking that he'll be accepted as "one of them". This is man who once told a Congressional committee that Sunnis are homicidal while Shiites (Ajami is of Shiite background) are suicidal.
This is a man with a deep inferiority complex toward the White Man who has sacrificed his talent and, most importantly, his dignity and scholarship in service of ambition.
Back when Fouad first came to America he was a champion of the Palestinians and a critic of America's foreign policy in the region. Which Ajami go after Israeli prime minister Benyamin Netanyahu (back when Netanyahu was a mere Zionist lying shrill in Boston as opposed to now when he's a major Zionist lying shrill) back in the 1970s:
But at some point Ajami realized that association with pro-Palestinian activism in America will exclude you from ever being accepted by an Establishment highly enamored with Zionism. And being an Arab and/or Muslim will only cement a pariah status and puts a bigger burden on the individual to prove fidelity to Israel.
So Ajami, in the 1980s, ditched the Palestinian cause. Over the years, as the House Arab constantly in need of proving himself to the White Man, Ajami became more and more a Zionist/neo-con/and basher of Arabs, all one in the same really. Ajami has to engage in oneupmanship with himself in order to sound more and more fanatically pro-Israel and "Justify" the White Man's wars, occupations and prejudices. This is a man who probably has even forgotten he's Arab and when people bash Arabs in his presence he probably just laughs.
Part of his inferiority complex is his silly and cliche praise of America. He loves to wax poetically, although his literary style has been corrupted by his client status, about the American spirit or American patriotism or America's rightful praise in the world. All of that is well and good in and of itself. But the only reason Fouad feels that he must constantly reoffer his praise of America is because he has an inferiority complex and feels insecure and must continually prove himself to the White. An Arab will never be truly accepted the crowd Fouad seeks acceptance from unless he is constantly groveling at their feet and trying to prove his loyalty to America. "Look at me, look at me, please, I'm just like you."
Look at his recent trash this Thanksgiving:
"It was ultimately two celebrations of great simplicity that appealed to me: Fourth of July and Thanksgiving."
How nice. The Arab comes to America and finds that they celebrate a day of independence and a day of thanks. How sweet is that? Because they clearly do not celebrate any holidays like that in any other country, let alone in those awful Arab domains.
