From the New York Times editorial: “Moderate Arabs everywhere have been

reacting with dismay and despair to Sheik Yassin’s killing.”

Oh, no! Sharon has upset all those moderate Arabs! The ones who have done

so much to restrain the immoderate Arabs! The ones who have been working

so hard to bring the Arab world round to acceptance of Israel’s right to

exist! The ones who have such great influence on Arab leaders!

What a blunder by Sharon, alienating all those moderate Arabs!
