[Peace-discuss] Mona Eltahawy

[David Green]

Eltahawy became somewhat of a media darling during the Egypting uprising, and 
this article provides a corrective.

"What is now left unexplained is why Eltahawy urges Arabs to ignore the plight 
of Palestinians, criticizes those who refuse to do so, and then calls on a 
pro-Israel group to stand up for Palestinian rights.  Ignoring Arab solidarity 
and assuming Arab states surrounding the Zionist entity have no vested national 
security interest in confronting Israel, why shouldn’t the people in this region 
be concerned with the ongoing Palestinian Nakba?  Why does Eltahawy call on the 
J-Street audience to now do what she has attacked Arabs for doing all along?"
