Fatah (Arafat) calls on people to shield Arafat round clock
Yasser Arafatâs Fatah movement urged Palestinians on Thursday to stay around the clock at his headquarters to protect the Palestinian president from any Israeli attempt to force him into exile.
"Save my ass! Throw yourselves on the Israelisâ weapons to save me! Iâm too important to martyr!"
ââIt is true the Palestinians do not own tanks but they own the determination to resist this Israeli decision. We call on the Palestinian people to be present at Abu Ammarâs compound day and night so the (Israeli) occupiers realise that the people will defend their leadership,ââ senior Fatah official Ahmed Ghneim told reporters, using Arafatâs nom de guerre.
That's so nobody knows who he really is... | Tens of thousands of Palestinians took to the streets throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip in defiant rallies after Israelâs cabinet decided in principle to expel Arafat as an obstacle to peace, a charge he denies. He vowed to crowds outside his compound that he would stay put come what may.
Didja ever notice that you never see Yasser without the towel on his head? He's got corn rows, y'know... And they're all, like, uhhh... nappy. |
