Sounds to me like Arafat is using hyperbole and jingoism to build up his sagging approval ratings with the Palestinians.

Sounds to me like he is good at it. Sounds to me like the same kind of rhetoric you've been spouting.

The point is simple; tone down the rhetoric, clean up the lies, myths and half-truths. The Israelis once held the moral high ground. Right now they are in a bind to claim evens.

Looks like the Palestinians don't see it that way, since they are acting on his rhetoric. Real people are dying. Why don't people like you ever consider the consequences of your actions?

Not even close. I'm telling you to think about the people you're lecturing to. I'm telling you to think about the consequences of the use of force, something you refuse to do. Quite the opposite of the man telling mothers to send their children to the front lines.

On the contrary, they made an honest effort to hold up their end of the Oslo accords (to a point bordering on suicide). Arafat & Co. rewarded them with war.
