Which was The Real Yasser Arafat

His death mirrored his life, shrouded in mystery, intrigue, exploitation and lies. It is doubtful that anyone will really know when he died and of what. According to Mossad he was a homosexual. A Mossad agent that infiltrated the PLO and became Arafat’s driver reported that his main job was to procure young boys for Arafat. It has been reported that Nicolae Ceaucesceau had pictures of Arafat romping around with young boys. He kept photos kept tucked away, as with many who stayed in Romania<, to be used for blackmail in needed.

          Whatever he really died of, at least he is dead. His death so affected some world leaders that it gave them bouts of psychotic amnesia.

          Chirac said that Arafat was a “… man of courage and conviction, who for 40 years has incarnated the Palestinians’ combat for recognition of their national rights.” – Jacques Chirac, President of France<.

          The idiot in chief of the U.N. said, Arafat “…expressed and symbolized in his person the national aspirations of the Palestinian people.” – Kofi Annan, U.N. Secretary General. Annan admitted that he was deeply moved by Arafat’s death.

          “It was not granted to Yasser Arafat to complete his life’s work.” – Gerhard Schroeder, German Chancellor.

          Let us stop for a moment to visit the world of reality. Arafat’s well established life’s work was the annihilation of the Jewish state and Jewish people, a job unfinished by Schroeders predecessor, Adolph Hitler.

          Arafat was “…an outstanding leader of the Palestinian cause.” – Hu Jintao, President of China<.

          Martin offered his condolences to the Palestinian people and added “Chairman Arafat personified the Palestinian people’s struggle to see their right to self-ddetermination realized. Chairman Arafat’s influence on regional and global events has been undeniable.” Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada<.  

          Even the Pope mourned the death of Arafat. His spokesman Joaquin Navarro Valls read the Vatican statement marking Arafat’s demise. “At this hour of sadness at the passing of President Yasser Arafat, His Holiness Pope John Paul is particularly close to the deceased’s family, the authorities and the Palestinian people. While entrusting his soul into the hands of the Almighty and Merciful God, the Holy Father prays to the Prince of Peace that the star of harmony will soon shine on the Holy Land.” – Pope John Paul II

          In a second statement he added, “… a leader of great charisma who loved his people and sought to lead them towards national independence. May God welcome in His mercy the soul of the illustrious deceased and give peace to the Holy Land.” – Pope John Paul II

          Egypt’s official statement seemed to be the one least connected to reality. They called Arafat an “…historic leader (who strove for) peace, security, and stability.” – Egyptian government statement.

          This is something Arafat never did for one day in his violent life of terrorism.

          President Bush said only that Arafat’s death was “…a significant moment in Palestinian history.” – George W. Bush. That is the only truthful statement of all the leaders quoted that didn’t depart from reality and was not a bold faced deception and lie.

          British Prime Minister Tony Blair offered his condolences and noted that Arafat was a Nobel Peace laureate. That was also accurate without departing from reality. But the only world leader that actually spoke the truth about Arafat was the every courageous and outspoken John Howard. “I think history will judge him very harshly for not having seized the opportunity in the year 2000 to embrace the offer that was very courageously made by the then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, which involved the Israelis agreeing to about 90 per cent of what the Palestinians had wanted.” – John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia<. Howard said he would not attend Arafat’s funeral and neither would any member of his cabinet. A decent and honest politician.

          It’s time for a reality check. Yasser Arafat was the founder of both FATAH and the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The clearly written objective of both organizations was the destruction of Israel< and the annihilations of the Jews. Arafat invented terrorism in it’s modern form.

          It was Yasser Arafat that dreamed up airplane hijacking as a terrorist tool.

Yasser Arafat was responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by PLO terrorists.

According to Barry Rubins biography of Arafat, the PLO committed more than 8000 terrorists acts between 1969 and 1985. They were responsible for the deaths of over 650 Israelis, 28 Americans and scores of others. A couple of his more memorable acts of terrorism were the Munich massacre in 1972 and the attack of an elementary school in Israel< in 1974 that killed 21 small children.

Arafat’s minions hijacked 4 passenger jets in the 1970’s and the Italian cruise ship the Achille Lauro in 1985. Aboard the Achille Lauro, Arafat’s men murdered Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair bound American in his 70’s. They brutally beat him and then pushed him, wheelchair and all, over the side of the ship.

          In 1971 Arafat’s PLO assassinated the Jordanian Prime Minister. In 1973 on a direct command from Arafat, which is recorded, they kidnapped and killed the U.S. Ambassador to the Sudan<, the Deputy chief of Mission and a Belgium Mission.

          In 1974 Arafat attempted to attack the American Embassy in Amman Jordan< and to kill Jordan’s King Hussein. Those efforts failed, but not from lack of trying.

          Arafat’s Nobel Peace Price in 1994 was an insult to a civilized world. Yasser Arafat was directly or indirectly responsible for killing more than 1000 Israelis after becoming a Nobel Peace laureate, more than he killed when he was just another terrorist.

          There are few countries on earth that are untouched by Arafat’s bloodstained hands. I believe Yasser Arafat was the personification of evil on the earth and in that regard he had few equals, either historically or contemporarily.

          He was a thief who stole billions of dollars from his own poverty stricken people, which was the reason why they stayed poverty stricken. He destroyed their hopes of statehood in order to maintain his hold on power. In the process he founded the world’s first U.N. sanctioned terrorist state. He could have helped the impoverished Palestinians. He could have built hospitals and Universities. But he choose to use the stolen wealth to murder the innocent, innocent men, women and little children.

          Arafat created the first society in history in which murder was a national responsibility. He educated the Palestinian youth to aspire to be suicide bombers. But since Yasser Arafat’s terrorism was linked to the noble goal of annihilating Israel<, his death is noted as a tragic loss to the world. Arafat’s death marked the death of the passing of an evil man. The man was buried but his evil remains.
