Yes. They're absolutely right. The Arafat worship over the last couple of days has been enough to gag a maggot.
Liberals never met a dictator they didn't love.
I cannot imagine how this family has felt watching the bizarre media treatment of Arafat. My prayers are with them.
Wow. God bless these ladies for telling the world the way it is.
BTTT
Good for them! At least the letter was printed!
Arafat was a murdering thug! Peacemaker? Not!

I hope Mr. Klinghoffer stood at the parting of the way - in order to pummel Arafat with his wheelchair - before filthy old Yasser made that sharp left turn into hell.
When I recall that Mr. Klinghoffer was a man confined to a wheelchair, vacationing on a cruise with his wife, and thrown overboard to drown and die WITH NO PROVOCATION, just as an "example" to terrify the other passengers, and that this was ALL ARAFAT'S PLAN, then I wonder why Arafat wasn't brought to justice back then.
Who, at the beginning of his career, enabled him to evade justice? I recall that Rudy Giuliani investigated him for Mr. Klinghoffer's murder and the murders of 35 other AMERICAN CITIZENS. Arafat should have been covertly killed back then, imho.
Why was Arafat protected? Did the KGB manage to protect him?
Good for the Klinghoffers. They lost their father, but they lost their mother as well. She died a few years later, probably from the stress of a broken heart disguised as cancer, I think. Klinghoffer's death was one of the most brutal things the world has ever witnessed -- a crippled man thrown overboard in his wheelchair while his wife watched helplessly. Terrorist Pigs!
Thank-you - It is sad to know that Arafat was the foreign leader who visited the Clinton Whitehouse most often. May he enjoy his time in hell.
The Klinghoffer daughters are right, and they show courage and patience to write as they did.
When I see the mad Palestinian crowds around the coffin of their dead terrorist leader, I think that there is little chance of such a people becoming in any normal way civilized. It is best that Israel builds that wall strong and high, and that someone else build another one on the eastern side of the "Palestinian territory."
A warning to all: Please do not mention ever in my presence the "poor Palestinians." If they are poor, it is because they followed a leader who robbed them not only of billions of dollars, but of their humanity. Until they show signs of recovering, we never, never should allow any of their kind into this country.
In the days before his temperature dropped, I was posting (only halfway in jest) that the NYT would headline the event:
"Nobel Peace Prize Winner Dies !"
Brava! It's about time somebody pointed out what Arafat actually was.
No-one will shed a tear for ANYONE associated New York Times.
Leon Klinghoffer, that is.
