[American in Israel]

Well Arafat demanded the US make Israel back down. It seems he cannot get a punch in if the Jews hands are not tied. Arafat wants peace, right?

Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I hear no sound

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
The dead man on the beach

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

The reason the terrorists and leftists don't want Araft killed is that if it happens, nobody will be able to speak for the Palestinians.

They will kill each other over who is their next spokesmen/leader, and the winner will surely be some Bin Laden clone who will be totally unacceptable to the west.

Arafat must die, the sooner the better.
