Actually, killing him is the only thing that will bring a hope for peace. Dennis Ross, the former Middle East envoy under the first President Bush and President Clinton, called Arafat "incapable" of making peace. He, and President Clinton, blamed the failure of Oslo on him. (As much as you may hate Clinton, this time he was right.) Arafat never gave Abbas any real authority and caused the Road Map to fail as well.

As long as Arafat lives and breathes and leads his people there is no hope for peace. Killing him will have tremendously violent consequences in the short term, but probably would be very positive in the medium to long term.

In the meanwhile, Mr. Prime Minister, please finish the security fence.

I agree. Arafat is the biggest terrorist on Earth. He has murdered more civilians than any other terrorist as a percentage of Israels population if not in numbers.

He must be terminated.

Israel should completely destroy his compuund with him in it. If they don't they will never have peace. You can't have peace if you let your enemies attack with impunity.

It is unfortunate that laser guided bomb was so weak they should have used a large enough bomb to send a much clearer message. You get near these thugs and you might just end up dead. You meet with them and the chance goes way up.
