Iraqi Columnist: Normalization with Israel Is Not Treason
(MEMRI) On March 26, 2022, Ali Al-Sarraf, an Iraqi journalist who resides in Britain, wrote in the Emirati daily Al-Arab: "For a long time, the Palestinian revolutionaries saw recognition of Israel as a reprehensible crime, but eventually they themselves recognized it." "We spent 20 years accusing Egypt of treason for signing the Camp David Accords, until we realized that 'there will be no war [against Israel] without Egypt'....Forty years of exporting the [Iranian] revolution, namely of waging wars, forming militias and destabilizing the region, radically changed the perception of who the [Arabs'] enemies and friends are, and who is and isn't worthy of normalizing relations with." "In Iraq alone, Iran has committed crimes against us that Israel never committed...not to mention Syria and Yemen, and the tragic situation in Lebanon....Half the Syrian nation has been dispersed in every direction, due to a decision by Iran and its militias."
