Oman's al-Watan also commented on the Israeli documentary, saying
its broadcast had led even ruling party lawmakers in Egypt to end
their silence and demand the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from
Cairo. It asked: "What would have happened if the television screens
broadcast the rest of the hundreds of massacres" by Israelis? The
pro-government daily opined the highest numbers of massacres
committed in recent history were carried out by the Israelis,
starting in Palestine. "The Egyptians are not the only victims of
these massacres...but so have the Lebanese, Syrians and Jordanians
had their share of such crimes that have not stopped until today,"
it said. The paper added it is difficult to forget such incidents in
history and cited the massacres against the Armenians by the Turks.
"History does not have mercy on states or individuals and the memories
of people are naturally filled with vengeance," it remarked.
"Israel will remain an army that created a state and wanted to remain
in a country that doesn't belong to it, so it resorted to constant
violence to prove its alleged right to stay in the place it resides."
