"The distortion of the aims and agenda of the movement led by Ahmad Orabi reflected, in 1882, the predominant anti-Arab prejudice of the British elite; and it reflects, today, the inability of many researchers and political commentators to explain Middle Eastern politics with reference to anything but extremist Islam. After 125 years, the Orabi revolt remains a very controversial and complex episode of the contemporary history of Egypt, many interesting sides of the revolt remain open for academic debate. In 1882 as well as today, however, complexity is no excuse for allowing cultural prejudices and sloppy historiography to hold sway."

Maan News Agency: Hebron Jew won't claim home until Palestinians return
""As long as [the settlers] are in Hebron, there is no chance of reaching an agreement" to end the six-decade conflict, he told the mayor. "I don't want any of my property or my house back as long as Palestinian homes and lands are not returned. The same day the Palestinians regain what was taken from them in 1948, I'll come to you and say, 'I have a house ... registered in the real estate department.'""
