DUBAI, Oct 6 (AFP) -
"A newspaper in the United Arab Emirates Saturday played down the apparent chill in relations between Israel and the United States, describing it as a "scratch" that will quickly heal.
The United States "has a long record of injustice toward the Arabs and their causes," and has invariably been a strong defender of Israel, the Sharjah-based daily al-Khaleej said.
"What is happening right now is a scratch in (US-Israeli) relations, and experience has taught us that such scratches heal rapidly," the paper said.
The United States fired unusually strong criticism at Israel Friday, blasting as "unacceptable" Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's warning not to appease Arabs the way allies did Nazi Germany before World War II.
"The United States' commitments to Israel have invariably been on the rise, and whenever that process stops, it is only to resume at a faster pace," al-Khaleej said."
