What's everyone thinking about the Arab revolutions?
I have been watching it a bit on and off recently. I watch:
1) BBC
2) Al Jazeera
3) Russia Today
4) Press TV
5) France 24
(These are all available on cable TV or online with Zattoo or Livestation.)
Each giving a different perspective! With 3 such different perspectives, you can probably get pretty close to the truth.
There is an interesting parallel to the events in Eastern Europe in 1990. Things just spreading by themselves from country to country: No-one has been funding it from abroad and very few saw it coming.. A real revolution is surely something very powerful! Funny how some countries have them often, and some countries never!
I am torn between my feelings of loyalty towards Israel and my sympathy for the cause of the Arabs (mostly the fact that they want to get rid of corrupt governments and have more social justice).
What do others think?
