"Ever noticed how much anti-Arab caricatures resemble anti-jewish caricatures? same beaky nose, same baggy eyes, same scraggled beard, same over-the-top-look-at-how-alien-I-am headgear, same vices and lusts. Only difference is occasionally a camel gets thrown into the anti-Arab ones while the anti-Jew ones use the Magen David."

Gee, I wonder why?

"The two strains of hate are so very similar that there's really nothing to be gained by differentiating them."

Sure, they are similar, but they are still different and the motivations are usually quite different, so yes, there is something to be gained by distinguishing them, clarity.
