I thought it was quite funny when a banner flashed across the screen on Sky News saying "Isreali television reports Arafat is brain dead." I think they've been saying that for years!
So true, Arafat has been brain dead. Arafat could have done right by his people a few years ago if he could have successfully accepted the peace proposal under clintoon (I hate to say that...) and worked very hard to get his people to accept it too.
But I guess the Palis really do want Israel to cease to exist. It is such a sad situation.
John Kerry commented (allegedly)
"In my opinion, he's definitely and most certainly dead, or alive"
