Arafat to Israelis: âArenât you ashamed?â
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has told Israelis they should be ashamed of themselves for wanting him dead."A decent loving father like me? despicable! Now get on that bus, donât mind the boomer in the trench coat....câmon, we donât have all MTV, Home and Garden Channel, Actorâs Playhouse... "Arenât you ashamed of yourselves?" Mr Arafat said in Israelâs Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, referring to its recent poll which found 37 per cent of Israelis favoured killing him and 23 per cent wanted him exiled. "er....no?" Israelâs right-wing government accuses Mr Arafat of stirring violence during an uprising for independence that began in September 2000. He denies this. Then his lips fell off On Tuesday, the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding Israel not act against Mr Arafat, saying it lacked references to suicide bombings in Israel. He shrugged off the veto and said is "not the first veto against the Palestinians and will not be the last." However, there are fears that Israel could see the US move as a licence to kill him. Mr Arafat called on Israel to halt its military crackdown to help re-establish a ceasefire that was called off last month after Israel killed a Hamas leader in Gaza. The death followed a suicide bus bombing in Jerusalem that killed 23 people. Yesterday, Mr Arafat he is ready to fight to the death should Israel tried to expel or kill him. Pointing to his machinegun lying on the floor of his semi-demolished headquarters, he said: "I am a Palestinian soldier. I will use my gun to defend not only myself but also defend every Palestinian child, woman and man and to defend the Palestinian existence." and they should be ashamed ??Bwahahahahah Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers have shot dead Jihad Abu Swerah, 34, a senior member of Hamasâs armed wing, when they came under attack during a raid in the Nusseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. heh heh heh Posted by: Frank G 2003-09-18 |
