The fact that Israel is able to assassinate a leading member of Hamas in Damascus is a reflection of Arab impotence. There will, no doubt, be an outpouring of the normal rhetoric, but in reality Syria- or its fellow Arab nations- will not be able to anything. Israel will get away with this act of state terrorism, as it has been doing for many years.
It is this impotence, however, which fuels resentment, hatred and extremism among ordinary Arabs and Muslims.
