Kuwaiti Columnist: Israel Has The Right To Defend Itself Against Palestinian Knife Terrorism | MEMRI

On October 18, 2015, Kuwaiti journalist ‚Abdallah Al-Hadlaq published an unusual article in the official Kuwaiti daily Al-Watan harshly condemning the „Palestinian knife terrorism“ and the „incitement“ by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud ‚Abbas. Israel, he stated, has the right to defend itself and also to kill the Palestinian assailants, even if they are women and children. Al-Hadlaq also attacked the international community for not taking Israel’s side and for failing to support this right. He concluded his article with the promise that the Israeli truth would eventually win out and overcome the Palestinian lie. However, following highly negative reactions, Al-Watan was forced to remove the article from its website.
