The newspaper's editorial mentions that the regrettable Arab inability in respect of the Israeli war and aggression to which the Lebanese and the Palestinian peoples are exposed has overstepped all boundaries and gone beyond all the red lines. Time has come for the Arab inability to depart its state especially after the Israeli war machine reached in targeting the civilians to the extent of committing cold-bloodedly mass massacres in Lebanon and Palestine. They have been committed in such a savage manner the whole world has seen especially in the second massacre of Qana, Lebanon, in addition to the carnages Israel is perpetrating in Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Israel is benefiting from the international community silence, though it had shyly responded for issuing a statement of condemnation by the UN Security Council and even that was encountered by the American refusal. The American stand has gone further than just providing a cover for Israel to continue in its aggression so that most of the victims are from women and children, whose number in the massacre of Qana is a witness on the nature of this savage and inhuman war. That massacre discloses the actual motives of Israel that tries to show itself as a victim in front of the world public opinion. The crimes against humanity Israel is perpetrating are very clear and it uses all means of war, including internationally banned weapons and this war is escalating every day at a time the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples demonstrate brave resistance.
Theses peoples must not be left alone and the Arabs must wake up and come out of their state of inability by offering support to their brethren in Lebanon and Palestine. It is not that they must engage in a direct war and confrontation but they have to search for all other forms of support for an actual assistance. The Arabs can at least follow the means that they used in their support for the resistance in Afghanistan during the soviet occupation and leave the rest to the forces of resistance and sons of the nation to support and join their brothers in Lebanon and Palestine in funds and ammunition through opening the way and borders for volunteering.
