In today's Washington Post, a columnist criticizes the failed tactics of Hamas and of Ariel Sharon, condemns suicide bombings, calls upon the Palestinians to transform their Intifada into a mass nonviolent protest, and calls on the west to press for resumed peace negotiations. The difference from the usual, at least in a U.S. paper, is that this call is coming from an Arab writer. Arab voices don't seem to get many column inches on a typical U.S. editorial page, save perhaps if they are talking about the occupation of Iraq.
