Arafat is a vampire.

The Palestinians could have had a better deal 4 years ago without thousands of dead.

But he revels in death and mayhem!

He is the vilest of evil.

PLO Leader: 'We Are Close to Accomplishing Our Goals...

Their goal is to drive Israel out of existence. In no way are they close.

[banjo joe]

"We are close to ... our goals".

once we have rid the world of the jews, then the christians, the shintos, the buddists... we can continue with the eradication of the sunnis... then when only shiites are left, we can kill the shiites from other tribes.

Question:"How do you explain the suspension of [the activities] of the Palestinian information [offices] in Damascus?" Al-Qaddoumi:"They are information offices, and they [merely] repeat what is said by the Palestinian opposition factions [in the PA]. If these offices are silenced, there are satellite channels and newspapers to publish the news they get from the territories, since the resistance comes from [the territories], and not from the outside…"

THE TRUTH. The "closings" in Damascus were nonsense, yet Colin Powell accepted them as a huge concession on the part of Syria, and let them off the hook. Meanwhile 90% of the WMDs are in Syria, a terrorist state. But in the interest of "peace" (meaning politics) we will forgive all dictators.
