Yasser Arafat triumphantly emerged from his sandbagged office building Thursday and flashed a victory sign to hundreds of supporters who streamed inside in a show of support for the Palestinian leader.
"We are in a sacred land, and we will protect our holy Christian and Muslim places. we send a message to the detainees, and to the prisoners, together all the way to Jerusalem," Arafat said.
Arafat emerged to address the crowd after Israel said it had decided to "remove" him.
He also recited a passage from the Quran about being steadfast in the face of the oppressor.
"The leader is Abu Ammar," the crowd chanted, referring to Arafat by his nom de guerre.
Men stood on blocks of rubble to get a view in the partially destroyed headquarters in Ramallah, where Arafat has been forced to stay for nearly two years by Israeli troops and treats.
The crowd chanted, "Are you afraid of tanks?" And others answered: "No."
"Are you afraid of (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon? No."
Propaganda. They care not about any Christian sites. Israel on the other hand protects the religious sites of all religions. Want to see what Arafat and his buddies did to the Christians living under the Palestinian Authority terrorist regime?

My ugly puss doesn't scare them anymore!
At the first sight of IDF tanks, the human shields will need a change of pants.
Arafat can leave peacefully or he can leave in a bag.
The choice is his.
