Arafat has demostrated his duplicity myriad times. We shouldn't trust a word he says. Or a word anybody of his ilk says. Does he think we don't listen to his Voice of Palestine broadcasts? Or maybe he thinks we don't have people that understand his biscuit-lipped slurred speech? Gads. What a maroon.

When will Israel address the "Palestinian Question" once and for all, forcefully and logically?

But nowhere was mention made of Arafat's article in The New York Times, and his condemnation of terrorism was not translated into Arabic.

Why would it be? It was intended strictly for the stupid American audience.
In international politics, Americans are like "Mikie": they'll believe anything.

Aside from that, if such a conciliatory message were translated and published in Arabic, someone might get hurt.
The best way to to know the genuine attitude of Arafat and Palestinians is to publish their daily domestic speeches. Fat chance.

Where are all the Arafat behind smoochers on this forum now?

I think everyone now realizes that the duplicitous Arafat cannot be trusted. It has been suggested that he fears for his own life from the terrorists he has supported if he aids the Israelis in any way. He gets no sympathy from me if that is his position -- he is obviously not a strong enough ruler to control what he has helped to build.

The biggest problem is -- Who is next in line after Arafat? Apparently no one stands out as a leader who can be trusted.

How through all those lonely lonesome years I has been tryin to TELL ya this, ...and now at last, I have some others who can do that job for me, and will say out loud what two-faces these pallies and mullahs are.

Now if we could just see every page 1 on Sunday paper, what they preached in Arabic in their mosques on the Temple Mount, or in Gaza or Ramallah, or Qom or Tehran, or Baghdad or Basra, or Damascus or Aleppo, or Beirut or Baalbek, on the previous Friday, .!!! That'll be the day!

Let me gives ya a hint: Our own govt. knows it is so inflammatory, they will not let it be published here for Americans to see.

One day there will be a Palestinian leader who pleads for peace -- not just in English but in Arabic, too. When that day comes, it will be time to negotiate. Until then, it's war.

Exactly right!

"Let me be very clear. I condemn the attacks carried out by terrorist groups against Israeli civilians."

(Paraphrased) "Let me be very clear...I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky..."

I think maybe Yassir is taking tips from Clinton and Carville...
