Yes, the Arabs (and Turks, and Iranians, too, but especially Arabs) ought to remember that their countries were part of the problem: if their countries had really cherished Jews as equal and patriotic citizens, the Jewish population in Israel could have been half its size today!

Works by Yehouda Shenhav, Ella Shohat, and others ought to be promoted. The less monolithic Israel's Jewish population is (in reality, in the perception of Israelis, and in the perception of Arabs, Iranians, and others), the better chances for peace the Middle East will have. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
