Clarice Feldman - Hussain Abdul-t's been six months and thousands of deaths

The non lazy Arab thinkers know that the Gaza War is not the fault of others, but ours.
"Hussain Abdul-t's been six months and thousands of deaths and we, the Arabs, have yet to sit down for a candid talk, debate what went wrong, what brought us here, how we can correct course.
What we have offered so far are lazy thinkers who found in Western attention a good way of declaring ourselves victims: 
Six months of showing pictures of Gazans as dead, hungry and helpless. That makes up for a great story for white guilt enthusiasts to use us, Arabs, as their props. The brown people who are victims of Western civilization -- liberty, democracy and capitalism.
The non lazy Arab thinkers know that the Gaza War is not the fault of others, but ours. 
We have failed in producing Arabs who can compete in the global economy, and therefore we blame globalization (capitalism, white man, Martians) for our failure...
