In the Jerusalem post is an article with many quotes from the Arab press.

It seems that many Arab readers are impressed that Israel is actually (hopefully) going to bring charges against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for corruption. Some of there comments are very telling for they complain that in Arab countries it is impossible to prosecute politicians for corruption.

Here is the link to the article:

Here are a few quotes from the article:

"Even some Arabs who describe themselves as "sworn enemies of the Zionist entity" have begun singing praise for Israel.

Over the past week, the corruption case against Olmert received wide coverage in the mainstream Arab media, prompting an outcry about the need for transparency and accountability in the Arab world."

And here is a quote from two people in Saudi Arabia:

"A Saudi national named Abdel Karim urged his Arab brethren to stop criticizing Israel and learn something about its democracy. "Before we curse Israel, we must learn from the democratic and judicial system in Israel, where no one is above the law," he wrote.

Khaled, another Saudi national, chimed in: "Although we are talking about Israel, which I have always hated very much, there is still no one above the law there."

And some other interesting quotes for the end of this blog entry:

From Syria:

And there was this comment from an Arab who described himself as a Syrian Voice: "Despite my strong hatred for the Zionist regime, I have a lot of admiration and respect for this entity because there is no one above the law. In the Arab world, laws are broken every day and no one seems to care."

And from Kuwait: re the palestinian authority: (Arafat died with more than a billion dollars in a Swiss bank)

Rashid Bohairi in Kuwait: "I swear Israel is a state that will succeed. They are prosecuting their prime minister because of tens of thousands of dollars. What about the millions of dollars that Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority stole? How come the Palestinian people are still hungry?"

Will any of this get to CNN? BBC? Fox? CBS? I wouldn't bet on it, would you?
