An interesting editorial in Arab News argues that the media and the world view must change within the Arab world, too:
‘During the war, everyone in the Arab world agreed that US news networks such as Fox TV and CNN had dangerously and not infrequently ridiculously confused patriotism with reportage; and they were right. After the war, however, most Arabs have come to recognize that they were throwing stones while sitting in glass houses.’‘The days when the Arab world could just scream Israel, as if that one word were sufficient answer to every question about every problem that came its way as though saying that one word could deflect all further inquiry are over. The time for peaceful coexistence, internal reflection and healthy, progressive thinking has come.’
