A comment on what could be the next thing entering Daphne Caruana Galizia’s backyard … and in that of the “alliance of the shortsighted” (Heute in Israel) as a whole: This is quite distressing. All the freedom lovers in the Middle East may only want to exchange one tyranny for another. It doesn’t seem like we’ll see any progress towards modernity if the Islamists take over. If we are aiding them, the west will have multiple Irans to deal with. My biggest sorrow is for all the girls and women who suffer in these societies. Mine too.
