"Al-Thawra editor As'ad 'Aboud called on the Arab countries not to be fooled by the Western attempts to portray Iran as the Arabs' enemy, and to realize that the real enemy is Israel. He wrote: "A confrontation [with Israel] is inevitable, because they leave us no choice. Every day they continue the settlement, the Judaizing [of Jerusalem], and the crimes against Al-Aqsa. There are always more shahids, more prisoners, more arrests, and more crimes. Who stands against all these, and how?
"In light of the glad tidings of [intra-]Palestinian reconciliation that Khaled Mash'al has brought us, a third Palestinian intifada may be possible.
| Or not, considering that Abbas has called for elections to take place because the reconciliation kind of fell through. |
Considering the failure of all the Arab efforts towards peace, perhaps we must make the [Palestinian] cause once again an Arab and Muslim cause.
| Go for it. See what happens with Bibi Netanyahu as prime minister. |
"In light of our legitimate desire to preserve our rights, our culture, our Palestine and our Al-Aqsa, [we must understand that] Iran is a real power that does not hide its solidarity with those who acknowledge our rights, and does not hide [the fact] that it has no intention to attack, in any way, the countries of the region or any one of these countries.
"I am sure that all the countries in the region, and all the Arab and Muslim countries, understand the danger, and realize that the source of danger is not Iran's missiles or nuclear facilities, but rather Israel..."
