Arab Journalist: Captors Ignored Advice
(Ynet News) Roee Nahmias - In his weekly column in Asharq al-Awsat, journalist Abed al-Rahman Rashad, CEO of the Arab news agency Al-Arabiya, wrote: "Hamas doesn't accept any opinion that is not its own opinion. It publicly rejected the united Arab stance and announced it would continue what it called the 'only method' (the armed struggle against Israel), despite the fact it knew that most Arab countries supported calm and opposed minor operations that complicate the situation and cause enormous damage, as we see today....No one has the right to ask for help from the Arab governments, as it was not they that advised this method of conduct....The ones who have become entangled and have tangled up the Palestinians in this battle carry joint responsibility, and they must prove the logic behind their actions. Did Israel lose, and how? Did the soldier's capture free even one single prisoner? And, was the result worth all the damage it caused?"
