A PA legislator, Nahed Munir Alrayis, in his regular column in the official PA daily Al-Hayat
Al-Jadida of November 25, threatens that US policy toward the Arab world will leave the Arab
and Islamic world so hopeless that they will have no choice but to resort to
“suicide attacks against the United States, its armed forces and its navy.”
He accuses US President Bush, in his policy, of “attempting to
isolate them so that they will have no hope
of an ally in integrity and justice, to incite others against them so
much that they will lose their trust in what is called ‘world public
opinion’ and ‘human rights’ and to close off all the political and
diplomatic avenues which nurture hope, then they will have nothing left,
in this position, except suicide missions against the United States, its armed forces and its navy.”
