Modern Athena Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 As far as I know, I'm the only one familiar with Ayn Rand's philosophy in my country. Others don't even know who she is. In fact, up until last year her books were not even found in bookstores or libraries in Lebanon. I'm pretty sure they're not even sold in countries like Saudi Arabia as well.

Ninth Doctor Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 On OL there's a Kuwaiti: http://www.objectivi...81 When you say Middle East, that includes Israel, right? It's in English after the first minute or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Athena Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Of course, Israel is included. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonid Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 There is a significant Objectivist movement in Israel called " New Liberal movement" and blog " Anoch" ( I in Hebrew). Its leader Boaz Arad invited Yaron Brook to israel couple of times. BTW, Yaron is also former Israeli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonid Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 http://www.objectivi...81 Fascinating! If only more Muslims and Israelis were exposed to Objectivism it would be everlasting peace in the Middle East. Modern Athena 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I am an Objectivist from Israel. It's nice to hear about you Nada, specially when I think about 2006. I graduated the same high school Yaron Brook did. By the way, there were few pupils from south Lebanon in my class. Perheps you can write a blog in arabic? I can spread it among some arab acquaintances of mine. Sandmonkey (Egypt) is not an objectivist as far as i know, but he writes very well. Leonid: The New Liberal movement is not an Objectivist movement, though there are Objectivists among the supporters. Boaz Arad is one of the founders of the movement. Isn't it odd for Americans to hear about Objectivists supporting Liberal movement? here the semantics is different.

But I can't write about anything political (you surely understand the reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it isn't odd if by Liberal movement one means classical Liberalism which promotes freedom and individual rights-pretty much like Objectivism.
