Yasser Arafat comes from a long and fine tradition of hating Jews. His uncle was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who spent WWII in Nazi Germany with a British price on his head organizing an SS unit made up of Muslims for the German Army.

On the other hand, his Majesty's Palestinian Brigade was made up of Palestinian Jews exclusively. No Arabs fought on the side of the Allies during WWII that I'm aware of.

" There was the myth in a nutshell: Palestine used to belong to the Palestinians, who ruled it from their capital in Jerusalem until the Jews swarmed in and drove them out. That is the root of all the violence and grief, and until the Palestinians can return to their homeland, the violence and grief will go on."

"The truth is rather different."
