(Al-Hayat/MEMRI) - Tunisian columnist Al-'Afif Al-Akhdhar writes: "Clinton presented proposals to the Palestinian leaders on a golden platter, and they answered him with an intifada of armed struggle and suicide bombings - in an era when these are no longer appropriate. Thus, at one blow, we lost [both] the land...and our reputation." "When the vast majority of Arab intellectuals, the Arab street, and 80% of the Palestinians supported them [suicide attacks], we were slapped with an image of one who disdains life - his life and the lives of others."
