Video: Prince Charles does a sword dance in Saudi Arabia
Prince Charles has been showing off his dancing skills during a culture
festival in Saudi Arabia. The Prince of Wales took part in the ceremony
with members of the Saudi royal family during a visit to the Middle East
The BBC's Jon Brain reports.
Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip:
Bare Naked Islam).
And no, this does not mean he will come to Israel and dance the hora any time soon.

The "I" word
I've never thought highly of Prince Charles because of the way he treated Princess Diana. Now, there's yet another reason not to think highly of the heir to the British throne: His
treatment of Israel.
Over 2000 words about 250 years of history of British Jewry and he didn't mention the word 'ISRAEL' once!
"Moses Montefiore"; "Jerusalem"; "Holocaust victims"; "Kindertransport" ... but not one mention of Israel and what that represents for Jews in the diaspora and could have represented for those who died in the Holocaust. Not one mention of the key role that was played by British Jews and the British Government in the founding of the State of Israel, for example through the Balfour Declaration.
No mention of Chaim Weizmann who spent much of his life in the UK
No mention that one of the Board's nine objectives is to "take such appropriate action as lies within its power to advance Israel's security, welfare, and standing"
Not a word.

Prince Charles is once again an embarrassment.
