About Arabs disdain of globalisation
In a Haaretz article I missed (this and the above and the below sent by Fred Lapides. Do you think I should be giving him a cut of my profits?).

A passage that made me smile: "In Israel, many thought that once we brought up the idea of a `new Middle East,' and proposed the idea of economic and technological progress to the Arab world, the whole region would embrace us," says Prof. Dina Porat, head of Tel Aviv University's Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and Racism. "In reality, the Arab world actually views this idea as a threat." How naive we were.
