I don't think that any insult towards arabs should be read into that statement.

L123, you yourself just equated "disgusting epithet" with both "Jew" and "Arab". Is that really what you wanted to say?

yeah, that's exactly what i meant. the intent behind the usage of the words is what matters. they are simply words that in another context are simply words. when used as an insult, then yes "jew" and "arab" are disgusting.
