Arab Women Give Elegant Voice to ‘Fears’
The reference by one of the women to Israel as the spoiled child and Arabs as abused ones makes one wonder at their perspective.
With the Kuwaitis and Saudis, running around in BMWs with unlimited pocket money does not qualify them as abused children. Hiding in safe rooms with gas masks and, since 1947, running into split trenches at impending terrorist raids hardly qualifies Israeli children as spoiled.
The real tragedy is the damage this is doing to all the protagonists. These women would do well to bring pressure to bear to resolve these problems peaceably for all concerned.
