Changes in the Arab World?變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.有兩個積極件新聞今天來自阿拉伯世界,讓我們有理由微笑。 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.一個是關於houda nonoo ,一個猶太人,巴林,誰已被任命為國王哈馬德伊薩哈利法殿下作為國家的駐美國大使。 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.雖然巴林被認為是相當溫和,在各界,它還是很高興聽到他們願意給予女性和猶太人(在這種情況下,同一人)有聲望的職位。 For more information, see the如需詳細資訊,請參閱 Jerusalem Post耶路撒冷郵報 . 。
Another story in the另一個故事,在 Jerusalem Post耶路撒冷郵報 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.已做與阿拉伯的反應的報告,以色列總理的埃胡德奧爾默特的腐敗審判接收一五零零零零美元的現金超過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.而很明顯,一些海報,不喜歡以色列,看來雖然他們大多數是尊重事實,即以色列的司法系統的工程,甚至對選出的代表在最高職位的權力。 Some are even critical of Ehud Olmert for taking so little money!有些人甚至批評埃胡德奧爾默特,以這麼少的錢! 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.許多急救員讚揚以色列作為一個例子說,阿拉伯國家應該使用,因為它的明確表示,阿拉伯人,實現腐敗現象發生在他們的國家。 Comments include:意見包括:
- “the reason why Israel has lasted for so long is because of its independent and fair judicial system. “的原因,以色列已經持續了這麼久,是因為它的獨立和公正的司法系統。 I challenge the Arabs to have such an independent judicial system.” 我挑戰阿拉伯人有這樣一個獨立的司法系統“ 。
- “Only a few thousand dollars? “只有幾千元? What a fool! 什麼是傻瓜! 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. 這是埃及部長獲得在某一天或一個沙特的首席執行官獲得在45分鐘內,或科威特的政府官員在5分鐘。 This is what the physician of the emir of Qatar gets every 30 seconds.” 這是醫師的卡塔爾埃米爾獲得每30秒“ 。
- “Unfortunately, this is the real democracy. “ 不幸的是 , 這是真正的民主。 Our enemies are very good in practicing democracy. 我們的敵人是非常好的,在實踐民主。 In the Arab world, our leaders steal everything and no one ever dares to ask a question.” 在阿拉伯世界,我們的領導人,竊取一切沒有人敢提出一個問題“ 。
- “I swear Israel is a state that will succeed. “我宣誓以色列是一個國家一定會取得成功。 They are prosecuting their prime minister because of tens of thousands of dollars. 他們是起訴他們的首相,因為成千上萬的美元。 What about the millions of dollars that Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority stole? 對於以百萬計的美元的民族權力機構主席阿巴斯和巴勒斯坦權力機構偷走了呢? How come the Palestinian people are still hungry?” 如何來巴勒斯坦人民仍在挨餓“ ?
Is the Arab world finally seeing the virtues of Israel?是阿拉伯世界最後看到的美德,以色列? Do these sentiments reflect the consensus in the Arab world?做這些情緒,反映了共識,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.但由於阿拉伯世界的厭惡以色列,把它掉以輕心,事實上,這些意見是有道理的共享在公共論壇(儘管在線)可能是一個正確方向邁出的一步。 Perhaps it’s no reason to be overly optimistic, but it is a step in the right direction.或許是沒有理由過於樂觀,但它是邁向正確方向的一步。 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.讓我們希望合理的批評,領導在阿拉伯世界,阿拉伯人,繼續-它反映了人們喚醒,以現實,以色列是不是他們的敵人-自己的領導。
