Hmmm, well can we call it our ‘past’ background? For some this past background is still their current background that surrounds them till this moment. For others their present is a mixture of what they want to maintain of their pasts along with what new they have learned or encountered recently. As such, they tend to look into things more because they have become accustomed to that fact that there is always an alternative, another explanation or possibility, and that it is Ok to think that way or speak out without feeling you have betrayed your people or what you stand for .

@Saleem Al Homsi,
Totall agree, I forgot to consider myself into the observation scene

@ADNISA,
The incident itself isn’t important for me, what is important is how saudi people react to such incident

@susanne430,
Thank you for reading it Susanne

@ Zoulfa
I must say that your comment bring a very interesting perspective. I totally agree with you that our past background has a strong impact on how we react and perceive the world around us, but the question that would need to be answer is: can we make a judgment without relying solely on our past background? what about if we rely on multiple background from different sources

While as you said it is an observation from the inside, still it depends on how much are you connected with the outside world and not packaged within your own society’s main stream of thought. The more you encounter other cultures and other schools of thought and analysis, the more you become skeptical or open to other interpretations and view points.
In short, Murtadah focuses on how we deal with such news, and I am saying that how we deal with it depends on our backgrounds, knowledge, and experiences affect the way we deal with it.

At the end, I must say Murtadha you give a fresh way at looking at things. Keep it up!

It could be a form of partnership between Saudis and Israelis. Saudis cannot express any anger towards Israel as both of them are American allies. And the Saudi royal family has not done anything in the past decade to improve the situation of Israel and Palestine.

and you forgot to tell abt the Person D actually who waits to hear abt these story from Ayalon’s side .. which has been published today ..

it doesn’t mean in necessarily that he believe abt what he gonna say or act .. or even if it’s matter to him ..

but as observer I guess he needs to hear from all sides no matter he accept all the lines or just he needs a look from the inside =)
