The world now knows that Yasser Arafat passed away quietly during the night. He wasn’t killed by a Hamas sniper, as the so-called Bible Code predicted; he died quietly in a hospital bed.
I do not like to speak ill of the dead, but the tributes coming in from world leaders are an affront to Arafat’s victims.
Exactly how many people did Arafat send to their graves when he was a radical PLO leader?
He ordered airliners blown out of the sky, the terrorist attack on the Olympics in 1972, bombings of pizzerias, bus stations and assassinations of his enemies. Some have said that he introduced modern terrorism to the world. Islamic Jihad and other terror networks benefited from Arafat’s support in their terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians.
Does the name Leon Klinghoffer ring a bell?
I’m not going to offer the Palestinians condolences on the loss of their leader. I hope that there isn’t a Palestinian civil war and that they and the Israelis find peace before they blow one another off the map.
May God show more mercy to Arafat than he showed to his victims.

Good post. Frankly it disgust's me that people regard Arafat as any kind of leader. I refer back to Prince Bandar who told Arafat that if he did not accept the deal proposed in 2000 by Clinton, it would be a crime against the Arab world. And of course he didn't and it was. It's such as shame that anti-semitism is so rapant that the French among others raise a terrorist over sovereign nation.
