Which would be silly, since Arabs are Semitic as well. There are Semites all over the place in the Middle East!

Now now, you know what I meant. Besides if we are going to be all nit-pickie, Jafar was persian.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

They had to cut a line from the opening song in Aladdin because it was seen as offensive to Arabians.

The actual content (other than being Nazi propaganda, of course) is rather typical Donald Duck. I suppose it's more shocking in how casual it is. Oh, here's Donald Duck as a Nazi Soldier, typical buffoonery ensues. Perhaps that was the point. To normalise it.

Viewed from today's perspective it almost looks like a mockery rather than propaganda.

You could argue that, sure. It's a bit ambiguous. But again, being ambiguous may be intentional too.

I'm watching the BBC TV adaption. Dustin Hoffman is doing an excellent job.

I like Dustin Hoffman. Has that soothing voice thing going on. Like Morgan Freeman.
