The Canuckistanian shows why Israel should pay no attention to those who wish to keep Arafat in power, the man most responsible for The Oslo accord's terrible toll. Read the facts included. Terrible!
The Oslo Accord was a total failure, thanks to Arafat. In fact, why are the Israelis talking of removing him? There is a way to permanently end this duplicitous thug’s influence in keeping Palestinian terror alive. Israelis should use it.
Update 3:50 pm: Fulford on Arafat
Yasir Arafat and the politics of denial by Robert Fulford, The National Post, Sept. 13, 03

The treatment of this sacred monster [Arafat] demonstrates our chronic inability to see the meaning of even the most obvious contemporary events.
Our smug belief that we can buy off our enemies, our perverse desire to flatter those who say they hate us, our need to persuade ourselves that killers are really moderates in disguise, our willingness to accept any absurdity so long as it helps us avoid facing reality – all these tendencies play themselves out in our attitudes to Arafat. Above all, we refuse to believe threats we don’t want to hear, such as Arafat’s consistent threat to destroy Israel.
