A Fatah press release has called upon Arab states to impose their priorities on the US-led alliance against terrorism. Placing their call in apocalyptic terms, the release said, ?Arabs and Muslims have only two options: either to have the power of unity and the justice of their cause to maintain their dignity and protect their civilization, or to have the weakness of disunity and therefore cause their civilization to collapse.? Arab states must stand up to American ?blackmail,? the Fatah says, since ?the US Administration? categorizes countries that stand against its biased policies as terrorist ones.?
What priorities should the Arab world impose on the coalition? ?A unified Arab and Muslim position on what constitutes world terrorism,? Fatah claims, ?will make the US realize that it cannot mobilize all countries against ghosts or individuals it cannot indict. The US should not be allowed to ignore the assassinations and daily killings in Palestine being carried out by a real murderer, Sharon, who is still at large? The new definition of terrorism should explicitly force Israel as a strong ally of the US to acknowledge its responsibility for the injustices it has inflicted on the Palestinian people.?
Using collective Arab weight to impose their priorities, according to the Fatah, ?will help protect the Palestinian people who are being targeted by the US and the Zionist entity. Both parties should understand that calling for quiet and stability cannot veil their true intentions.? Moving into a more belligerent tone, the Fatah threatens that the tactic of confrontation with the coalition ??may become a strategy unless the US and Israel are pressured into acting upon international resolutions pertaining to the Palestinian issue.? If Arabs do not act to define the anti-terrorism coalition terms of reference, the press release warns, ?the tyranny based on the US definition of terrorism will grow limitless.?
