This is the first time I have heard the words “suicide bomb”, “wrong” and “moral” come out of the mouth of an Arab leader.
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher said Sunday that Arab states need to explain their peace proposals to Israelis and take a strong stand against suicide bombings that have claimed hundreds of Israeli lives in the past three years of violence.
“We have not publically, clearly, unequivocally taken a stand against suicide bombs,” Muasher declared at a meeting of business and government leaders in the Swiss Alps. “We have not told the average Israeli citizen that suicide bombs are wrong from a moral and political point of view.”
This is a step in the right direction. But I am afraid that we will never achieve peace in Israel until these words come out of the mouth of a PLO Arab leader.
