Arabs
- al-Bab.com - All kinds of information about the Arab world. Even the page on Jews in the Arab World is reasonably evenhanded.
- ArabDataNet - Basic info about Arab countries, from the U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce
- ArabNet - Information on Arab
nations and peoples.
Warning: The section on Palestine is misleading. For example, the topography subsection ignores the sovereign state of Israel, and it specifically includes the Galilee and the Negev, even though those regions are part of Israel under the 1949 borders that the United Nations and most Arab leaders claim to support.
