At Al Arabiya, Ahmed Al-Sarraf writes a rare article that looks at Israel’s success. It starts off comparing Israel to the Arab world as a whole, but then it only compares Zionism as an ideology to the Muslim Brotherhood, perhaps to avoid too much shame.
There is a huge gap between the Jews and their enemies, and more precisely between us and them!This gap is not only represented in the great physical and military capacity of the first party, but also in the difference in culture, sanctity of life and even conscience.On the map, Israel looks as if its neighbors will swallow it up tomorrow, but it is clear that it will swallow us up in the end, if we continue to fall behind.Although Arabs, Muslims and Christians have lived in this region for thousands of years, what separates them is more than what unites them. Although the overwhelming majority of the people of Israel immigrated to it decades ago, and from countless ethnic and cultural backgrounds, they were able, with minimal resources, and under the harshest conditions, to achieve something like a myth, compared to what our countries achieved in the same time period !And if we did not have a little oil, of which Israel does not have a drop, our situation would be much worse than the present!What is their secret?***The Muslim Brotherhood is considered by many to be the only ideological, political and paramilitary organization qualified to play a “strategic” role, and to establish the Islamic Caliphate State or something similar, which some have long praised and sought to establish, just as the Zionist movement sought in 1897 in Basel to lay the foundations of the state of Israel.During only half a century, the Zionist movement succeeded in realizing its dream and established an impregnable and advanced state capable of imposing itself on the whole world.As for the Brotherhood, it has been trying, for more than ninety years, to establish its religious state, but it has failed again and again.The success of the Zionist movement and the failure of the Brotherhood movement is due to several factors, including:1. The Zionists succeeded in recruiting the best scientific and political minds to serve the cause and lead it, regardless of the extent of their belief in traditional Jewish thought. This is what the Brotherhood failed in, as its choices were miserable and far from right, starting with the mediocre educational level of the majority of the movement’s guides and ending with their political representatives. The nature of the backward thinking of the Brotherhood does not allow the creative person to be a member of the group.2. The absence of transparency from the Brotherhood’s ideology, as no one knows anything about their plans or programs for governance, and this is often due to their lack of transparency at all, and we saw this clearly during their rule in Egypt, Tunisia and Sudan.3. Most importantly: the historical interest of the Jews in science and their known passion for reading, and the interest of the Zionist movement, and the founders of the state, in the need to form scientific, educational and cultural institutions since the first day of the founding of the state, in addition to their interest in religious belief and military deterrent force.As for the group, which is supposed to be ideologically opposed to them, represented by the Muslim Brotherhood movement, it has proven its inability and failure, scientifically, politically and culturally, and for nearly a century, to build a single scientific edifice, and instead displayed their hatred for all topics of culture, art, thought and literature.***A study conducted by the well-known American Pew Center in 2016 showed that the Jewish per capita education averages 13.4 years, followed by the Christian, with an average of 9.3 years. Of course, there is no need to know the per capita education is in our countries!
