1. In an article (12/5/08) entitled 'Iran and the Fearful Arabs', Tariq Alhomayed, Editor-in-Chief of Asharq Al-Awsat, strongly attacks Hizbollah and Iran, adding that: "Moreover, the Palestinian cause is no longer under Arab control after Hamas has become a puppet in the hands of the Iranians and Syrians". In Alhomayed's opinion, the Iranians represent a threat to the Arab's national security.

2. In his 13 May 2008 article in the Kuwaiti daily al-Watan, Abdullah al-Hadlaq favorably compared the democratic Israel to the dictatorial regimes in the region, saying: "The State of Israel represents an enlightened, lofty democracy surrounded by a jungle of dictatorships and repressive regimes. The peoples of those dictatorships would like to be like the Israeli people, to feel that they have value as human beings. Don't we feel ashamed when we hear one of the leaders of one of the dictatorial states threaten to wipe out Israel, to burn it or to throw it into the sea? These leaders ignore the winds of freedom and democracy blowing in Israel, the darkness of oppression, the silencing [of the people's voice] and the dictatorship of their own regimes that surround Israel."
3.
