Westerners Against the West
Our Western civilization is the best that has been established so far (not the best possible), but it has its flaws (nothing is perfect). Consequently, some of those who benefit from it want to fight against these flaws and exalt everything that opposes it. Thus, the worst world we have today (that of the Middle East) is exalted against the best world achieved. I would understand if South Korea or Japan, which have made many advancements, were being exalted. It is a matter of misunderstanding, of ignorance of the actual reality. Yet, it would be enough to notice the direction of the boats: they come from the Middle East to the West, never the other way around. And then, if I were an Arab, I would always prefer to live as a second-class citizen in Israel rather than in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt, etc.
