Saluting Yassir or another way to make me puke

'One of the outstanding freedom fighters of this generation,' 'a man of courage and conviction,' 'committed to the peace of the brave,' 'a powerful human symbol' he he, are they talking about Arafat?
The fact is that Arafat rejected the offer of statehood ― what Bill Clinton called 'a colossal error.' Arafat's primary motivation was maintaining his self-identity as the driver of conflict. As Dennis Ross concluded, 'Arafat could not accept [the offer at] Camp David... because when the conflict ends, the cause that defines Arafat also ends.' Apparently, most editors still can't accept this unfortunate truth.
Another commentator, columnist Gwynne Dyer, asked, "So what did Arafat do right?" The answer: He drew worldwide attention to the Palestinian cause, "for the most part by successful acts of terror." In other words, butchering innocent human beings was "right," since it served an ulterior political motive. No doubt that thought brings daily comfort to all those who were forced to bury a child, parent, or spouse because of Arafat's "successful" terrorism.

CNN's summation of Arafat's life as a 'battle for peace' was supported by this single, supposedly representative Arafat quote, boldly printed at the top of the page: 'The battle for peace is the most difficult battle in our lives.'



No need for Israeli public to go into other glorious details of miracle maker Arafat, no need to argue, actually no need even to pronounce his dirty name....

But those living in peaceful societies, not troubled or agitated or terrified to send their sons and daughters to school- what right do they have to glorify murderer?!!
