Cairo speech was pitched to American Jews

[Cairo]
I'm about to go to the airport so I can go home and become a broken record about Gaza. I spent the evening with Egyptian friends and when I woke up this morning I realized how much of my own suspicion and prejudice about Muslims I have overcome in the last few years, and few days. At dinner a friend spoke about a Jewish American journalist who proclaimed to him drunkenly once, I am a Zionist, I hate Arabs. This is the most automatic prejudice in Jewish life, largely unspoken. It seems to me  this was the greatness of Obama's speech (which I blew in my coverage yesterday): so much of it was pitched to an American Jewish audience, from this Arab space. In that hall he was a rock star. The silence of the crowd for the first five minutes, before he quoted the Koran and the place exploded, was stargazing silence. The chants of We love you and of Obama! at the end were expressions of hope, that Muslims would again be treated with respect. The speech was pitched to Jews because the ironclad guarantee to Israel and all the Holocaust stuff and the Buchenwald and refusal to particularize Palestinian suffering, as he particularized Jewish suffering, were all nods to the lobby. Egypt understands that; and people say, he is our hope. He is urging American Jews to get past their racism toward the Arab world. Can we follow him?
