Dubai paper calls on Arab countries to help

Today's editorial in the Dubai-based Khaleej Times argues: "Syria’s stand is that it has done its bit by taking in some 250 Palestinians in May, and that it’s the other Arab nations’ turn now. There’s merit in the argument; this is a collective responsibility. The Palestinians in Iraq need all our attention. The cause being so dear, this here is a call of duty for the governments in the region; they cannot afford to look the other way."
