Re: Re: On humanisation
by Liza
Hi Jeff, I read and comment on a number of Arab blogs, but I have to admit, they are primarily blogs that have shown themselves to be liberal, where the bloggers are welcoming of Israeli commenters (and if I decide to leave a comment, I'll often mention that I'm Israeli, and definitely include a link to my own blog, which would clue people in straight away). Some of the Arab blogs out there leave no room for such exchanges and dialog, and I feel that it would be a waste of both my time and energy to comment as an Israeli. There has to be some common ground in order for it to work. There's no point in being an Israeli voice on blogs that are against the very existence of Israel, against a two-state solution, etc. On the other hand, I've had some wonderful exchanges with a number of Arab bloggers. We don't see everything eye-to-eye, but if there's a mutual respect there, and a mutual desire for peace and dialog, it's great.
