Speaker. announcement of the Arab oil boycott of the United States sent some political and financial circles into a tizzy. particularly oil companies. who lose profits extracted from the domestic market for cheap Arab oil. Arabists used it to orchestrate a home front symphony designed to make consumers believe that no Persian Gulf crude means frozen families. chilly homes. and an end to Sunday drives. A few political figures deftly slid the boycott in between arguments on behalf of the morality of the plight of Palestinian refugees. A few newspaper columnists. ever eager to portray Israel as a liability. painted lurid pictures of an America crippled for lack of Arab oil. Nothing could be further from the truth.
