Following the amazing upheavals in much of the Arab world that came to be known as Arab Spring, openDemocracy created a new section under the title “Arab Awakening”.
I have had misgivings about this title since an article I had written on Israel’s dual policies towards West Bank and Gaza appeared in this section. I continue to have problems digesting this title and what it implies.
