Changes in the Arab World?变化在阿拉伯世界的呢?
30 May 2008 2008年5月30日There are two positive pieces of news today from the Arab world that give us reason to smile.有两个积极件新闻今天来自阿拉伯世界,让我们有理由微笑。 One is about Houda Nonoo, a Jewish Bahraini, who has been appointed by King Hamad Isa al-Khalifa as the country’s ambassador to the United States.一个是关于houda nonoo ,一个犹太人,巴林,谁已被任命为国王哈马德伊萨哈利法殿下作为国家的驻美国大使。 Although Bahrain is considered to be quite moderate in circles, it’s still nice to hear that they’re willing to give a female and a Jew (in this case, the same person) a prestigious post.虽然巴林被认为是相当温和,在各界,它还是很高兴听到他们愿意给予女性和犹太人(在这种情况下,同一人)有声望的职位。 For more information, see the如需详细资讯,请参阅 Jerusalem Post耶路撒冷邮报 . 。
Another story in the另一个故事,在 Jerusalem Post耶路撒冷邮报 has to do with Arab reactions to reports about Israeli Prime Minister’s Ehud Olmert’s corruption trial for receiving $150,000 in cash over 14 years.已做与阿拉伯的反应的报告,以色列总理的埃胡德奥尔默特的腐败审判接收一五零零零零美元的现金超过14年。 While it is clear that some of the posters don’t like Israel, it seems as though most of them respect the fact that Israel’s justice system works even against elected representatives in the highest positions of power.而很明显,一些海报,不喜欢以色列,看来虽然他们大多数是尊重事实,即以色列的司法系统的工程,甚至对选出的代表在最高职位的权力。 Some are even critical of Ehud Olmert for taking so little money!有些人甚至批评埃胡德奥尔默特,以这么少的钱! Many responders laud Israel as an example that Arab countries should use, as it’s clear that the Arabs realize the corruption that occurs in their countries.许多急救员赞扬以色列作为一个例子说,阿拉伯国家应该使用,因为它的明确表示,阿拉伯人,实现腐败现象发生在他们的国家。 Comments include:意见包括:
- “the reason why Israel has lasted for so long is because of its independent and fair judicial system. “的原因,以色列已经持续了这么久,是因为它的独立和公正的司法系统。 I challenge the Arabs to have such an independent judicial system.” 我挑战阿拉伯人有这样一个独立的司法系统“ 。
- “Only a few thousand dollars? “只有几千元? What a fool! 什么是傻瓜! This is what an Egyptian minister gets in a day or what a Saudi CEO gets in 45 minutes, or a Kuwaiti government official in five minutes. 这是埃及部长获得在某一天或一个沙特的首席执行官获得在45分钟内,或科威特的政府官员在5分钟。 This is what the physician of the emir of Qatar gets every 30 seconds.” 这是医师的卡塔尔埃米尔获得每30秒“ 。
- “Unfortunately, this is the real democracy. “ 不幸的是 , 这是真正的民主。 Our enemies are very good in practicing democracy. 我们的敌人是非常好的,在实践民主。 In the Arab world, our leaders steal everything and no one ever dares to ask a question.” 在阿拉伯世界,我们的领导人,窃取一切没有人敢提出一个问题“ 。

How come the Palestinian people are still hungry?” 如何来巴勒斯坦人民仍在挨饿“ ?
Is the Arab world finally seeing the virtues of Israel?是阿拉伯世界最后看到的美德,以色列? Do these sentiments reflect the consensus in the Arab world?做这些情绪,反映了共识,在阿拉伯世界的呢? Unlikely.不大可能。 But given the Arab world distaste for Israel, to put it lightly, the fact that these opinions are shared in public forums (albeit online) could be a step in the right direction.但由于阿拉伯世界的厌恶以色列,把它掉以轻心,事实上,这些意见是有道理的共享在公共论坛(尽管在线)可能是一个正确方向迈出的一步。 Perhaps it’s no reason to be overly optimistic, but it is a step in the right direction.或许是没有理由过于乐观,但它是迈向正确方向的一步。 Let’s hope justified criticisms of leadership in the Arab world, by Arabs, continues - it shows that people are waking up to the reality that Israel is not their enemy - their own leadership is.让我们希望合理的批评,领导在阿拉伯世界,阿拉伯人,继续-它反映了人们唤醒,以现实,以色列是不是他们的敌人-自己的领导。
