Palestinian Editor Praises Maher Attack
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based Palestinian daily Al-Quds al-Arabi, on Tuesday praised the Palestinians who threw shoes at Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher during his visit to the Aksa mosque. Atwan said the shoes "are a lesson to all the Arab leaders and their representatives, who...are listening only to the American administration and its humiliating demands for normalization with the Hebrew state." They were also "an expression of the position of all the Arab peoples towards their tyrannical, repressive, and corrupt regimes." "We wish the Palestinian officials, first and foremost Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, will draw conclusions from the incident and halt his efforts to meet with the Israeli prime minister."
