Personally I'm not outraged at all, not even mildly surprised given that anti-semitic sentiment in Jordan is near 100% according to a very large 2005 study done by Pew Global Research.

Mostly I think it's ironic for the authors to mis-use Jewish texts to accuse a democratic nation like Israel, with full freedom of the press and a commitment to pluralism of institutional racism when the authors of this garbage live in a country run by a miniscule ethnic minority who didn't even originate in the area. Jordan is the very definition of a racist country.
