A PA legislator, Nahed Munir Alrayis, in his regular column in the official PA daily, threatens that US policy toward the Arab world will leave the Arab and Islamic world so hopeless that they will have no choice but to resort to “suicide attacks against the United States, its armed forces and its navy.”

He accuses US President Bush, in his policy, of "attempting to isolate them [the Arab and Moslem World] so that they will have no hope of an ally in integrity and justice, to incite others against them so much that they will lose their trust in what is called ‘world public opinion’ and ‘human rights’ and to close off all the political and diplomatic avenues which nurture hope, then they will have nothing left, in this position, except suicide missions [lit: Death for Allah missions, Arabic -“Istishhad”] against the United States, its armed forces and its navy.” [PA official daily Al-Hayat Al- Jadida, November 25, 2002] (PMW.ORG.IL 11/25/02)
