Nayif Hawatimah never misses an opportunity to manifest yet again his political opportunism. He wrote an article in An-Nahar (the right-wing, sectarian Christian, racist (anti-Palestinian people and anti-Syrian people) newspaper in Lebanon in which he declared Ghassan Tuwayni (a man who always blamed the Palestinians for the war in Lebanon) as "a friend of the Palestinian people." Nayif Hawatimah is a reason for the decline of the Arab left.
