Alan Dershowitz has been, in my view, on the wrong side of numerous social issues but he has been consistently on target with the War on Terror, at least since 9/11. In this article, he brings his formidable literary prowess to bear on the subject of the monster Arafat, and I hope that other Freepers find this to be as worthwhile a read as I did.

This is by far the best summary of Arafat's miserable life I have read to date. Thanks for posting this article.

Arafat's legacy is one of bloodshed and war, yet tears are being shed over his peaceful passing, not only by Palestinians but by many Europeans as well. Had Arafat accepted the offer of statehood, his body could have been buried in the part of Jerusalem that would have been the capital of the Palestinian state instead of in the rubble of Ramallah.

Yet, as I watch BBC and hear the praise flow for this murderer, the "conventional wisdom" expressed by the Arab and European "intellectuals" is that the moment has passed for Israel because no leader in Palistine or the Arab world can lead toward peace as did Arafat. Noone has the legitimacy of this terrorist.

the BBC is setting up the expectation that the only road to peace in the Middle East is one which has one Palistine from sea to river. Now they use Arafat's death as an excuse to continue their single minded campaign to exterminate Israel. Europe has moved closer to their position. Sick.

USA and Israel against the world.

Dershowitz donates anti-Israel. He votes anti-Israel.

No one should care what Dershowitz has to say.
