Prince Bandar, whose corrupt royal family rewards the families of suicide bombers, audaciously asks, "So what is the real [Palestinian] crime?"
Prince Bandar argues that "Palestinians are the victims of the Israeli occupation" of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. He conveniently neglects the fact that Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied Gaza for nearly two decades after the Arabs failed to drive Israel into the sea during the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948. He also fails to mention that Israel occupied these territories only after it emerged victorious from its second war for national survival in 1967, which Arab military forces, including Saudi Arabia's, precipitated. Nor did Prince Bandar mention the deplorable role the Saudi regime played in torpedoing the land-for-peace offer Israel made at Camp David in 2000. Yasser Arafat responded not with a counter-proposal but with the deadly intifada, which 57 Muslim nations attending the recent Organization of the Islamic Conference officially consecrated as "blessed."
No more lectures on terrorism, please, from the representative of the corrupt Saudi royal family or from other morally bankrupt Arab dictatorships, whose foreign ministers, meeting in Cairo last week, responded to President Bush's plea to "stop inciting violence by glorifying terror" with a statement that "welcomed . . . continuation of the resistance."
