Obviously, Emanuel`s father meant that Emanuel would be pro-Israel - that is why he said, "what is he an Arab?" The remark about cleaning floors meant that Emanuel would have an important, influential post - not that Arabs clean floors. Typically, the Israel bashers knowingly misinterpreted the remarks. Having said this, Emanuel`s father should have shut the hell up.
