I don't understand why many Arabs like to enthusiastically circulate opinions by Israeli columnists. As if we don't trust ourselves. As if it is not true, whatever "it" is, unless confirmed by a Western or Israeli authority. We internalized the thought of the colonizer, and don't even know it. It is like that retired professor of the History of Islamic Science at Harvard University, Sabra, who began his courses by informing students that Arab sources cannot be trusted. (I personally don't trust Sabra or Haaretz).
