Saudi Columnist: We Need to Get Over Our Obsession with Israel
Saudi columnist Turki Al-Hamad [pictured above & right] wrote: "Israel and Zionism have always been the primary 'justification' for every failure and disaster in modern Arab life: from
the failure of the project of the great Arab renaissance and of the great Arab unity, to a child's death by starvation in Basra [Iraq] .""[E]ven if Israel disappeared entirely, and we had a new Palestinian state from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea to add to the list of Arab states, the situation would still remain the same..."
"Israel, and behind it the West and America, has not prevented us, and cannot prevent us, from building good schools if we want to, and putting in place forward-looking curricula. Israel will not prevent us, and cannot prevent us, from respecting humans and human rights in our countries, if we really wanted that. Israel will not prevent us, and cannot prevent us, from eradicating illiteracy in our countries or rooting out corruption."

Yikes! This seems very well thought out, yet an extremely dangerous position to take. I applaud him, and hope he is part of a new order.
He's incured the wrath of the jihadist before. Yes, indeed, this is a brave man. Let's pray it becomes increasingly common among his brethren.
