Egyptian Journalist Ibrahim 'Issa: "Stabbing Israeli Civilians Is Not Resistance"

From MEMRI.ORG:

"Egyptian newspapers and media have been largely supportive of the recent wave of Palestinian attacks in Jerusalem and other cities in Israel. A dissenting voice, however, is that of Ibrahim 'Issa, editor of the Egyptian newspapers Al-Dustour Al-Asly and Al-Maqal. In an editorial in the latter journal, titled "Kitchen Knives Will Never Liberate Palestine," he expressed sympathy for the situation of the Palestinians and for their right to revolt, and harshly criticized Israel, but at the same time he decried both the previous intifadas and the current attacks on civilians as counterproductive and as undermining the moral legitimacy of the Palestinian cause."
