Queen Rania: Gaza Has Liberated Many Around the World from the Illusion of Western Fascination

Jordanian Queen Rania Al Abdullah pointed out that "Gaza has liberated many around the world from the illusion of being impressed by the West." During her speech to graduates of the International Academy in the capital Amman today, Wednesday, she stated: "Progress is not limited to economic and technological superiority, nor is it measured solely by the height of skyscrapers or internet speed, but by the depth of a nation's values." She added, "We live in a world full of contradictions, while we hear and see it. I am Arab; say it without shame or fear, say it with pride and honor." The Queen continued, "There is nothing more beautiful than being bearers of a message filled with the compassion our world needs now more than ever." She congratulated the graduates, their families, and their teachers, and wished well to all the young men and women of the nation among the graduates.
