Self-critical PA daily op-ed: Arab world doesn’t care when Arab blood is shed by other Arabs
“Against the backdrop of the blood festivals [being held] around our Arab world – from East to West, in the Libyan Desert, in the mountains of Tunisia, in the forests of Somalia; in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and the Sinai – where Arabs drink the blood of Arabs, Muslims drink the blood of Muslims and foreigners pretending to be Muslims; [where] Persians, Turks and Israeli occupiers drink the blood of Arabs distilled by other Arabs – an Arab company announced an alcohol-drinking festival. The blood-drinking festivals did not infuriate anyone, and no one was angered by or protested against the massacre of Arabs in their countries, from the [Atlantic] Ocean to the [Persian] Gulf… But when this company announced an alcohol-drinking festival, some people were angry. I believe they declared a general mobilization in order to storm the festival and smash the glasses and pitchers – since drinking forbidden things leads to forbidden acts. Yet the butchering of innocents, the widowing of women, the raping of minors and the pandering of the pure are permitted.”
