New on Patriot Paradox: Interview with Chewed Gum

Finally.

"Kill Arafat"... very niiiiice. Short, succinct, straight-to-the-point. THe kinda rallying cry that many can get behind...

I love it :0)

[sonsofliberty2000]

A word must be said here about the most common claim made by those who would not isolate Arafat, let alone kill him: that he is the elected leader of the Palestinian people. Even if Arafat was chosen in a truly free election (when does his term end?), which we would dispute, this does not close the question of his legitimacy. Whom the Palestinians choose to lead them is none of our business, provided it is a free choice, and provided they do not opt for leaders who choose terror and aggression. So long as the Palestinians choose such a leadership, it should be held no more immune to counterattack by Israel than the Taliban and Saddam Hussein were by the United States.

This is a great way to sum it up. Straight to the point and no one can argue it.

[Beck_isright]

Works for me.

[dogbyte12]

I hope they asked Mossad to guard their office building before they published the editorial. Wowza!

[Ciexyz]

The world will not help us; we must help ourselves.

That's what the Israelis said in the 1967 War. And at Entebbe, when their commandos had to face Islamic terrorists alone. (I remember the coverage well.)

[xzins]

It is the right answer.

Israel is our primary aircraft carrier in the mid-East. We also know that Saudi Arabia and Iran are our blood-sworn enemies. Real-politik means that Israel kills Arafat, and we protest, and 6 months go by, and then things are back at their dismal norm.....only with Arafat gone. And hopefully Hamas.

I believe the Arab elite think we are entangled in Iraq and incapable of striking them.

But to end this war we definitely need to take out the Saudi and Iranian governments, EVEN IF we don't invade them militarily.

Simply take them out and bite the bullet.

[vbmoneyspender]

Arafat should be happy if the Israelis kill him. He will then be able to join in paradise all those teenaged Palestinians he has encouraged to blow themselves up.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Don't talk, do it, fait accompli, and to hell with the naysayers.

[Jorge]

The world will not help us; we must help ourselves. We must kill as many of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders as possible, as quickly possible, while minimizing collateral damage, but not letting that damage stop us. And we must kill Yasser Arafat, because the world leaves us no alternative.

Nothing here I can disagree with.

The world would be much better off without Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Arafat.

[jokar]

Therefore, we are at another point in our history at which the diplomatic risks of defending ourselves are exceeded by the risks of not doing so.

They need to quit talkin and get to shootin'*.

*Thank you John Wayne.

Vey interesting.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[Arafat's death at Israel's hands would not radicalize Arab opposition to Israel; just the opposite. The current jihad against us is being fueled by the perception that Israel is blocked from taking decisive action to defend itself. ]

Yes.

PS: Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

[We complain that a double standard is applied to us, and it is. But we cannot complain when we apply that double standard to ourselves. Arafat's survival, under our watchful eyes, is living testimony to our tolerance of that double standard. If we want another standard to be applied, we must begin by applying it ourselves. ]

This at a time when GW is hounding bin Laden, Zarahiri, et. al., Taliban, Saddam, et.al into their graves. The hypocrisy is absolutely aphalling.

[EGPWS]

Arafat's survival and power are a test of the proposition that it is possible to pursue a cause through terror and not have that cause rejected by the international community.

Ain't that the truth, of course the U.N. comes to mind.

[ijcr]

As Israel sets its sights on Arafat, it is time for the US Administration to prepare the ground for the obituary of this man of the people.

Transcripts and video of Arafat’s meetings with Presidents and State Department officials focusing upon his role as a peace maker need to be released now.

The major channels and the BBC should be encouraged to make documentaries about Yasser by dangling the carrot of exclusive tapes and access to former Presidents and Secretaries. It is essential for the West to manufacture Arafat’s image as an untiring leader dedicated to bringing peace to the conflict.

Israel will be condemned what ever happens to Arafat, but it is best left said that his demise will be less problematic than his exile, preferably by his own hand.
The US must condemn Israel for the incident and the rhetoric used must generate the icon of a great statesman worldwide and elevate him to sainthood.

Messages of his persistent struggle for a solution must ring across Europe and the Middle East. His great dreams and ambitions for peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis must not be allowed to fail. We must continue with the road map. We must move on and follow his example.

The short term for Israel would be painful but the long term would be beyond our wildest expectations.
It would be an irony that Arafat in choosing to become a martyr,be converted against his final desires into a martyr for peace. Yasser Arafat should be the West’s first and last martyr.

[montag813]

Kill Arafat. Exile Arafat. This is all just wishful thinking.

Colin Powell spent an entire interview with al-Jazeera today hammering upon "Israeli obligations". He said Jewish "settlement construction must be frozen and unauthorized outposts in the West Bank removed". Powell paid the smallest of lip service to the P.A.'s need to "reduce terror", a remarkable choice of words. So would he be satisfied if say, only 7 Jews died per bombing instead of 15? Would that be a sufficient "reduction". Take that you FReepers who have bashed me for DARING to criticize Powell. He is nothing but an Arab ass-kissing Saudi stooge, and today's interview proved it. Here we are only a few days after more Israeli children are murdered, and all this piece of sh*t "General" can speak of is "Israeli obligations". He is truly detestable.
