| The Arab News Version: Global Outrage Over Israeli Decision |
| 2003-09-13 |
| Nazir Majally, Asharq Al-Awsat EFL and Fair Use OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, 13 September 2003 â Saudi Arabia yesterday led a chorus of worldwide protests over Israelâs decision to exile Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. Yawn. âThe decision constitutes a dangerous Israeli escalation of the regional situation and a violation of international law and UN resolutions,â an official spokesman said. The Kingdom urged the quartet states as well as the international community to take quick and decisive steps to force Israel into revising the decision and save international peace efforts from failing. more... Global Outrage. Yup. We get juicy tidbits from Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Kofi, Russia, China, the EU, Spain, Germany, the UK, Turkey, Greece, and even a former Israeli FM, Schlomo Ben Ami, on this topic. All with that selective special touch from the Arab News, aka The Green Truthâ¢. Of course, now that there is precisely ZERO chance for peace, here they come out of the woodwork to second-guess and pontificate and wave their arms. Yawn. But itâs worthwhile to get the flavor of the response from each of these Govts. Hypocrisy and idiocy run rampant, such as the "OCCUPIED JERUSALEM" screamer dateline at the top. |

| #3 I am also globally outraged that the Saudis are *still* blowing smoke out their collective bungs when they are the problem (BTW it is a beautiful sunny day here on St Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea). But the Saudis have more mouth than substance.... |

| #2 I think "Occupied Jerusalem" refers to that Arab piece of crap built atop the Temple Mount |

| #1 I am globaly outraged that they wasted troop strength on Arafat that should have been used to kill more Hamas guys. Isreal left the first roadmap that looked encouraging to me. The world shall demand: resume targetted assasinations, immediatedly. |
