He asked me once, why does the Arabic translation look less in size than the original English text? Did you miss any sentence? Did you ignore lines?
I answered: because it’s too different languages, too different ways of expression.
Does he understand that they are too different worlds: English and Arabic.
That was the problem always, it’s and will always be, we are too different creatures and will always have different interpretation, understanding for morals, feelings, laws and world's regulations.
Why are we convinced that the same God created us? How come that the blond, white, blue eyes male comes from the same factory where the coloured, dark skin, brown eyes female came? How come that a machine which produced curly dark hair would produce blond straight hair? What are the genes? Aren’t they what we inherit from those ppl who came first from the same factory of white male and coloured female?
Why Olmert who is as white as Abbas is considered white while Abbas is coloured? What makes Olmert more human than Abbas, and Wisman more respected than Arafat? Aren’t they products of the same factory? Who runs the factory? Who controls the production line? Who wrapped those products? Is it the wrapping which matters? And if they stood naked against each other would they become equal? Let’s have a 'naked' auction, no labels, no wrappings, no ribbons, no flags and no pre set prices, just naked participants, one condition- close the factory.
