Two Proverbs

Beirut 19.10.2007

An Arab-Proverb, says:

The enemy of my enemy

is my friend

and

the friend of my enemy

is my enemy

but this proverb ought to be renewed

and must get a face-lifting

or just an adjustment to today's situation .

An Israeli-Proverb ,says:

To bomb the enemy of your enemy

brings all the suspicions on your enemy.

and

to bomb the Friend of your Friend

brings the same suspicions (also) on your enemy .

Syria must somehow be unwillingly thankful

that Israel "takes care" of Syria's opponents

in the Lebanon
