Arab World on Verge of Extremism and Hatred toward Israel and US!
Aljazeera reports that Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, the Qatari foreign minister deputized to speak for the Arab League before the UN Security Council, accused the world body of standing “idly by.” Then he warned:
What is happening will sow the seeds of hatred and extremism in the area and provide a pretext for those who feel that the international community is taking sides and lacks fairness as to this dispute.
All I can say is . . . wow! Is the fact that the United Nations stands idle in the midst of war something new? That’s typical UN-mode. What was UNIFIL doing while Hezbollah set up its missiles in southern Lebanon, despite the fact that the mandate that put UNIFIL in Lebanon spoke of the necessity for the Lebanese government to establish a monopoly on military power in the south? And as far as this crisis sowing the “seeds of hatred and extremism” in the region, would this be something new? Am I to understand that before the current crisis the Arab Middle East was a vast field of love and respect for Israel and the United States?
