I know that we brought to the world the Zero. This is not a joke, the number "0" was invented by an Arab.
I saw a whole discussion about it.
Since then, it seems we are all just bringing plenty of more Zeros to this world.
Watch this.
Look at Israel on the map. Tiny!! Look at the Arab countries. HUGE!! Should we ask Israel to give land to the Palestinians? how about the Arab countries? لماذا نحن نطلب من الدولة اليهودية لإعطاء الأرض للفلسطينيين عندما كان العرب والأشقاء الفلسطينيين ، والكثير من الأراضي الفارغة وأنهم لن يعطوا أي شيء. هناك شيئا خطأ هنا.
He''s only talking about Arabs. But he's right, many Arabs think they are morally better than the materialistic West. The only problem is now that the USA sometimes does the same as the Arabs, the only difference is they've achieved a lot. They actually went to the moon and have their NASA.

Right.
ReplyDeleteIt's never nice to brag about how great you are but if you decided to be a "show of", if you have so much to complain about other's culture, You might want to be able to show some achievements of your own.
All I am saying is that I feel a little embarrassed when I see all those Arabs living in Europe, telling everyone how back-warded the Europeans are and how easy it is to outsmart them to con them.
I never want to brag about how great my culture is, that's not my (dutch) culture. The dutch don't tend to brag about the achievements, they only see their own mistakes and how awful we were in the past.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean you, I mean Arabs.
ReplyDeleteBeing critical to yourself can be very productive if it's done in the right content.
That is why I think that other Muslims and Arabs really hate my words on this blog and will never forward it on to their friends or share it on Facebook. The culture from which I came from is not open for criticism.
The only people that throw the word about this site are Americans and Europeans.
Takes courage to take a contrary view but it dose not resolve the injustice of landowners being dispossessed and culturally subsumed by another.
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteI am wondering to what you referred?
Jews were displaced , disposed of and subsumed from their property and from their land throughout history.
Just int he last 60 years Most Jews became refugees after being scared out, kicked out and expelled from Arab countries. Most of those Jews were descendants of Jews that were in those Arab countries before there were ever Arabs there.
Those Jews arrived to their homeland in Israel and were put in refugees camps but Israel took responsibility on those refugees while the Arab countries didn't take responsibility on the refugees in their area. All for political reasons but now everyone expect Israel to take responsibility on refugees while their own people is completely ignoring them.
Hello, as an Israeli and a jew, i think most arab and muslims, are better poeple, good poeple then many poeple aroung the glob. i know that because u know them better then any other poeple in the west, we have many rhings in common. but as long as they are individuals. as a collective , large group, they become different. extrimist , tend to follow some radical poeple (in all aspects) social life religion ,and politcally.
ReplyDeleteDO YOU AGREE THIS CLAIM?
Dear Mr. Carmon.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with your determination. I believe that there is a clear problem of the "Herd Syndrome". There is very little space to opinions outside the scope of the main line in the Arab world and you can see it in every media this society is being reflected.
For someone like me to come out and say that, as an Arab, is out of the ordinary but not necessarily out of the ordinary to think this way especially once all the details are reveled.
In my blog, I allow all to say what is on their mind. Even Jews and Israelis, such as yourself, will receive a fair chance to say their opinion even if it's not what I agree to.
This position I took is the only way that I can see to be helpful in the attempt to expose my people in the Arab and Muslim world to different opinions and not only to one opinion. Tor different human being and not to a dehumanization of Jews or Israelis.
Your point was a very good point and I wish more people would have been exposed to it.
Thank you.
