Notice the repeated reference to the year 1948, when Israel was established.
Truth is, I don't think the Arabic culture for the most part has advanced past the Nineteenth Century.

I believe the point the author was trying to reinforce was that Israel is not the source of their problems, but just a convenient "whipping boy"......
Oh well...some "cleric" will now issue a "Fatwa" against the author for pointing out the obvious....

He could have used the year 1946 to make another point. In that year Lebanon achieved independence and began what was to be become a process in the colonial world. When that country was governed by Arab Christians it prospered. When it was led by Muslims and infected by Palestinians it degenerated.

I would say the Seventh Century, especially where culture is concerned.
