Arafat many be gone from our midst, but his reign of terror will continue with his followers. I would not be surprised to see him honored all over the world however as a man of peace. It is sickening.

Well, there's a history lesson. I had known about the PLO predations in Lebanon in the early seventies, just no details. I also knew the actual perpetrators of the massacres have always been loose and walking around (and sometimes openly boasting of their deed). I do venture to say, however, that if the palestinians really had been "welcomed with open arms in 1948 with charity" as Mr. Najjar puts it, they would never have been in camps in the first place and indeed would never have had occasion to call themselves "palestinians." They would simply have merged with the local population. Never forget that all of Israel's neighbors could have absorbed the refugees of '48 (though with difficulty, considering the numbers I'll admit) rather than segregating them and mistreating them as alien sojournors to use them as weapons against the jews.
I wonder if the writer can find hundreds of witnesses who saw the beheading of hostages in Iraq and elsewhere?
Do they have witnesees for Damour, A Christian village massacred by Muslims?
My tagline says it all. Sometimes they get in a hurry, though, and get out of sequence.
