Kerry cites Yasser Arafat as prime example of peacemaker
WND ^ | NOVEMBER 30, 2010 | Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM – Sen. John Kerry upheld late PLO leader Yasser Arafat as the prime example of a former terrorist who can be transformed to advance peace, according to classified documents released by WikiLeaks and reviewed by WND.

Arafat, however, is accused of directing terrorism against Israelis until his death in November 2004.

In a classified diplomatic cable, Kerry was quoted as stating: "Yasser Arafat went from living as a terrorist in Tunisia to signing an agreement with Israel on the White House lawn. The transformation of Arafat is an example of how actors in the region need to take risks if we are to move forward in advancing regional peace."

Kerry was speaking in a meeting this past February with Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, the ruler of the Arab state of Qatar.

Kerry implied Arafat was "transformed" into a statesman after he signed the Oslo Accords on the White House lawn.

However, Arafat founded the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group – the official military wing of his Fatah organization. He is accused of routinely fomenting and directing violent terrorist attacks against Israelis throughout his tenure as PLO leader. This included the Second Palestinian Intifada, initiated by Arafat after he turned down an offer of a Palestinian state at the Camp David peace talks in the summer of 2000.

Arafat was to peace what Obama is to economics.

John Kerry is an unmitigated swine and a murderous terrorist. His terrorist group planned the murder of scores of Republican congressmen.

Why he and Ayers were not sent to ol’ Sparky is forever going to be beyond me.

Arafat was a rotten peace keeper. Peace was not his game.

Kerry would have made a lousy President. Probably wore than we have now.

Kerry has no accomplishments to his name other than the fact that he has married rich widows!! He is a liar, and the epitome of losers.

Amen.

Revisionist claptrap from a pampered leftist idiot and a proven liar.

Arafat started both the first and second Palestinian Infitadas (1987 and 2000) in which thousands were killed on both sides. He was a murdering megalomaniac whose existence, notariety and power was made possible by the idolitry and support of leftist idiots in the west. Idiots like John Kerry.

Arafat was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time he was responsible for the ongoing deaths of thousands of innocent people. His whole life was devoted to death and bloodletting. For Kerry to call him a peacemaker shows how little Kerry cares for truth.

How about Stalin, the great peacemaker. Too bad he killed anyone who disagreed with him, but at least there was peace afterward. John Kerry - reporting for duty!

Kerry is a prime example of a certain part of my anatomy, one that I rarely see, but one that makes it’s presence known with regularity.
