RE: Anti-Jewish?

On June 26th, 2009 Tarek Fahmy said:

I am also Egyptian, proudly educated. My education taught me never to stereotype or generalize unless I have proof to back me up. I am not anti-Jewish or anti-Israeli. My entire family has always preached understanding, communication, and rational thinking. I understand that I could only speak for myself and my experiences and when I hear other Egyptians saying that
"...even educated Egyptians are anti-Jewish..." irks me.

I was educated first at St. marks College in Alexandria and stereotypes and racism were not taught there.

Be wary of general statements and mass generalizations; please!
