Arab News Condemns Terrorism

Excellent editorial in today's Arab News strongly condemning terrorism, regardless of one's grievance.

The English language Saudi daily opened its editorial by asking: "Are there really no limits to senseless violence?"

The editorial states: "The people of Palestine have a legitimate cause for anger at Ariel Sharon's Israel. Their land has been devastated and their men, women and children killed in thousands in a war that was not necessary. A negotiated solution for Israel's standoff with Palestine could have been found if Sharon, appointed premier in 2001, had not proceeded immediately to prove how tough he was by crushing Palestine with military might. Bloodshed has not stopped since then, either in Palestine or Israel.

"All this is true. However, the grievance the Palestinians have is against the Knesset, not against ordinary Israelis — certainly not against schoolchildren and schoolmarms. When genuine political grievances are sought to be solved through perpetrating violence against children, it inflicts the most grievous harm on the cause that is sought to be furthered. The decent people who were supporting them in their fight against injustice turn against them...

"There can be no doubt that from the minute this attack was planned, the terror leaders have been quite prepared to shed torrents of young blood. There are no words strong enough to express the disgust and horror all decent people feel toward such actions. Their campaigns are the very opposite of brave and heroic and bring the deepest and most profound shame upon the causes they pretend to represent."

The above appears in today's Arab News, except I inserted Palestine, Israel, Sharon, and Knesset in place of Chechnya, Russia, Putin and Kremlin. Arab News was referring to the hostages being held at a Russian school by Chechen terrorists, not to the murder of Jews by Palestinian terrorists. The latter is still supported by English speaking Saudi intellectuals. Instead of "disgust and horror" and "profund shame", Palestinian terror is greeted with pride and profound joy, with the terrorists glorified as martyrs.
