Gaza's Ordeal Has Not Struck a Chord with Many Arabs
(Asharq al-Awsat-UK) Diana Moukalled - For the most part, there is little noticeable outrage over the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza. At this point, we must admit that the ordeal of Gaza's residents has not struck a chord with many Arabs. The Palestinian cause has become a victim of the rhetoric of "resistance" adopted by the Syrian regime. The official stance of the Syrian regime boils down to the idea that they are killing their own people in order to liberate Palestine. Perhaps the difficulty is that the victims in Gaza have been crowded out by the many more in other places. Palestine is no longer the only tragedy of the Levant.
