 | Faced with the unprecedented momentum and expansion of the grassroots protest movement in solidarity with the Palestinian cause, Arab leaders have revamped the notion of citizenship as a synonym for weakness. |
| This movement should bolster all who had given up on hope for the Arabs, all who despaired of and disassociated themselves from Arab nationalism, even if they hide this regression behind their condemnation of current regimes. |
| Yet until the Arabs develop the capacity to address US public opinion directly, their sole avenue of influence is through a mass grassroots movement which has greater and more immediate effect on the decision-making process in Washington, eager to maintain the stability of this region, than it does on Arab decision-makers. |
