'IRONY' WAS THE TITLE OF THE EDITORIAL OF 'ARAB NEWS', WHICH IS ALSO PUBLISHED IN JEDDAH.
IT SAID 'THE EVENTS UNFOLDING ACROSS THE GLOBE, IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE ATTACK ON AMERICA, SHOULD SERVE AS AN OBJECT LESSON TO ALL THOSE WHO HUG THE IDEA THAT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO FORCE THE WORLD TO SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE OF THEIR CAUSE TO BRING ABOUT A MASSIVE BLOODBATH. THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED PARTLY: THE WORLD HAS SAT UP AND TAKE NOTICE. BUT AFTER TAKING NOTICE, WHAT THE WORLD HAS DECIDEDIS NOT THAT THEIR GRIEVANCES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, BUT THAT EVERYTHINGTHAT THEY REPRESENT SHOULD BE DESTROYED.
'FOR ALL WE KNOW, THEY MAY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SERVE A NOBLE CAUSE: THAT OF MUSLIMS, ESPECIALLY OF THE PALESTINIANS WHO HAVE BEEN,FOR OVER HALF-A-CENTURY NOW, VICTIMS OF SYSTEMATIC TERRORISM PRACTICED BY ISRAEL, WITH THE FINANCIAL, DIPLOMATIC AND STRATEGIC SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES.
RESENTMENT AGAINST THAT PARTISAN ATTITUDE BY THE POWER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HONEST BROKER WAS A NATURAL SENTIMENT. THERE WAS NO ONE IN PALESTINE OR OUT SIDE WHO DID NOT KNOW THAT THE U.S. COULD, WITH ON FLICK OF ITS FINGER, MAKE ISRAEL BEHAVE' THE PAPER ADDED.
