Arafat's heritage
Regarding "The Last Palestinian," January 20, 2005
How interesting that in describing Yasser Arafat, the writers
didn't mention that he was the "grandfather of modern-day
terrorism." In addition, Arafat was not a Palestinian. He was
born in Egypt and hijacked the Palestinians, just as he did
airplanes. He left them in far worse condition than he found
them, stealing money the world gave to better Palestinian
society. Arafat used the Palestinians for his own accumulation
of wealth and his own twisted sense of aggrandizement. Never
interested in democracy, which would have freed the
Palestinian people, he kept the Palestinians under his
dictatorial boot, and left them almost breathless with a
whipped-up hatred for Israelis.
I hope and pray that Abu Mazen can resurrect the Palestinian
people into a freedom-loving democracy that will peacefully
coexist with Israel.
