Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on an important Arab voice…

Abdulateef is a retired Saudi Navy Commodore, writer, and frequent contributor to Middle-East news outlets. He’s a very smart gentleman with an honest voice. By now you’re very familiar with the position that most everything wrong in the Arab world can be tracked to one source – Israel. This assumption of permanent victim status mirrors what racist activists are selling black Americans – and with the same outcome. Abdulateef has the character to say that the Arab reality belongs in the hands of Arabs. He correctly points out that the life expectancy and freedom of Palestinians living in Israel is far greater than in most Arab countries. Bet you didn’t know the nations of Islam criticizing Israeli actions against Gaza and the West Bank refuse to allow Palestinians to immigrate to their countries. In a culture war, it doesn’t work to have your pawns free to move out of harm’s way. Admirably, Abdulateef is challenging his peers to play a smarter game.

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
