Part of the problem with Jews who speak Arabic is that many of them have immediate ties at one or two removes with Iraq itself.

As opposed to an Arab who speaks Arabic that has immediate ties to Iraq?

They aren't hiring Arabic speaking Norwegians to fill these jobs.

Actually, they are probably hiring Norwegians who are fluent in Arabic to do the translations. If you recall, Norway has this immense oil industry infrastructure and they hire all sorts of specialists. In oil, you speak Odessa-Midland or Arabic, and sometimes both. Odds are they are NOT hiring Swedes to do the job unless they can get some of Ikea's managers to switch hit.
