“Many Arabs don’t know that the life expectancy of the Palestinians living in Israel is far longer
than many Arab states and they enjoy far better political and social freedom than many of
their Arab brothers. Even the Palestinians living under Israeli occupation in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip enjoy more political and social rights than some places in the Arab World.”
- Abdulateef Al-Mulhim, retired Royal Saudi Navy Commodore,
writing a couple of years ago in Arab News, and quoted this morning on Kiwiblog

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Well hey that's all right then! Line up some more airstrikes people, the Palestinians have it sweeet!
ReplyDeleteSo according to an expert, a Saudi career militarist, Palestinians have it better than many Arabs. Would he, perchnace, be referring to his own?
