Israel Radio West Bank correspondent Avi Yissakharov reported this evening that Yasser Arafat declared in a fiery speech in Ramallah today that "all Palestinians are Muhammad al-Dura", that all Palestinians are martyrs. 12-year-old Muhammad al-Dura was killed in the Gaza Strip last year while his father tried to protect him from crossfire. Arafat called for all to join in the struggle to stop what he termed the Israeli program to Judaize Jerusalem. The crowd roared back to Arafat "millions of martyrs are already marching to Jerusalem." Israel Television Channel Two reported this evening that Arafat also told the crowd that "I am willing to sacrifice 70 martyrs to kill one Israeli" and called for a continuation of the struggle against Israel.

That doesn't really sound like a sustainable rate of attrition to me, but if he insists on trying...

"...12-year-old Muhammad al-Dura was killed in the Gaza Strip last year while his father tried to protect him from crossfire..." Wasn't that the poor little devil who got hit when his cowardly father rolled up in a ball beside him?

He's making "fiery" speeches again? Does the 70 include himself?

http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=9342 Mr. Larsen calls on Israel to respond to President Arafat's speech [IMRA: "hear no evil see no evil?"] [IMRA: Unfortunately it appears that Mr. Larsen relied on favorable news reports and failed to read the text. If he had he would have learned that Arafat called only for the Palestininians not to carry out the kind of operations that the PA condemned in the past and in addition not to shoot mortars that give Israel an excuse to attack - a call that leaves considerable room for continuing with the murder of Israelis. He would have also noted that Arafat made clear that nothing being done to Israel constitutes "terror" and that he would only outlaw groups that engage in "terror" - so operations against Israel can continue without fear that the PA will close down any groups.] http://www.wafa.pna.net/EngText/18-12-2001/page005.htm Gaza December 18th Wafa (Official Palestine News Agency), Mr. Terje Rod Larsen the representative of Mr. Annan the UN Secretary General, called yesterday, on the Israeli Government to positively respond to the possibilities offered by President Arafat speech for the sake of the two peoples, the Israeli and the Palestinian. Mr. Larsen described President Arafat's speech as a historic and very important, and forms a turning point towards calming the area and returning to the negotiating table. He also said in a statement issued from his Gaza office that the parties should exert more efforts to benefit from the chance offered by the President. He added that he has told Mr. Peres that it is vital for Israel to recognize the opportunities offered by the speech, and Israel should respond in a similar manner, adding that the speech coincided with Palestinian important practical actions. He also added that the violence will not lead to peace and stability, considering the premeditated assassinations in these crucial moments as actions that do not help the peace process.

Maybe he wants 'palestine' to be next on the list of whom to obliterate after we've finished with Afghanistan & El Queda?

Arafat called for all to join in the struggle to stop what he termed the Israeli program to Judaize Jerusalem.His strategy has been to deny, deny, deny that Jews ever had anything to do with Jerusalem. He's claimed before that the Israelis aren't really Jews (just Europeans who came to steal their land), that the Palestinians are the descendants of the real Jews, that the Western Wall is a Muslim holy site, and all sorts of other Barbara Streissand.
He has never changed his strategy, it has always been to talk "peace" in front of the cameras, and then, when the world isn't watching, speak "Jihad" to his own people. As he said, he "must always fight and negotiate at the same time."
I hope Sharon is prepared to destroy him and his Authority.

"I am willing to sacrifice 70 martyrs to kill one Israeli" That's nothing. I'm willing to sacrifice about 2 million martyrs.

Hey Stone, if this is true, Arafatty's remaining DNA might assume room temp before Christmas! These Islamic fanatics are truly suicidal and stupid!
the second moon, thanks for posting this latest thread showing how suicidal and stupid these scum in the shallow end of the human gene pool are!

GW called Arafat's bluff for all the world to see. Next time you Democrats, who support Israel, vote, think again.

Yeah, that's what I was remembering, too. The kid was killed by Palestinians, yet they're using his death as a symbol of martyrdom against Israel. I shall be sorely disappointed if Bush kisses Arafat's ring by demanding that the Israelis "shut up and take it," as has been the prior modus operandi. Apparently, "peace" (cough, cough) is more important than truth and justice.

This is absolutely typical of these muslims. They will say one thing to us and another thing amongst themselves.

He had to make up for telling his brethren to stop attacking Jews the day before. He probably had death threats from his friends.
