Today's editorial in Asharq Alawsat, the London-based Saudi newspaper, said that Prince Naif's criticism of America's WMD double-standard reflected the opinions of most of the world:"The point Prince Naif made was that Saddam was not the only threat to freedom and human dignity in the region. There is Israel, in possession of an arsenal supported by a most sophisticated delivery system that can take nuclear, chemical or biological annihilation to all the Middle East and far beyond. Why is there no effort to disarm it? Why are Israel?s nuclear weapons not even discussed at disarmament confabs?"The conclusion has to be that America?s vision for a stable Middle East is that of a collection of vassal states living in perpetual subjugation to a Zionist Rome ? the stability of a slave colony. That is the dream Prince Naif said that he or his nation or community was not prepared to share."Iraq has defied UN resolutions. It should be punished for that. Israel has defied four times the number of UN resolutions that Iraq has. Why is there no action to punish it? Why is there a US veto every time a resolution is brought to pull it up for its refusal to abide by UN resolutions? Why is it terrorism when Israeli civilians are killed, and self-defense when Palestinians are killed? If it is morally right for Israelis to kill in "self-defense" inside Palestine, why is it not morally right for Palestinians to kill in "self-defense" inside Israel?"America gives billions of dollars, weapons and technology to help Israel to occupy Palestine, invade its cities, demolish its homes, and kill its people. That is the civilized thing to do, we have been told. But, if Saudi Arabia helps the Palestinian families who had lost their breadwinners, it is an evil act that must be sought forgiveness for. What but hostility for Arab and Muslims would explain such an attitude?"
