| Fatah official: Arafat is leading us to extermination |
| 2002-07-11 |
| Hussam Khader, an opposition deputy in the Palestinian legislative council, has castigated Palestinian Authority chief, Yasser Arafat, accusing him of leading the Palestinian people to extermination. Khader, who is affiliated with Fatah Movement, told the Zionist radio that Arafat was incapable of securing the desired reforms. "What he has made was meaningless because he retained his aides and corrupt elements within the PA", Khader, deputy from Balata refugee camp in Nablus, elaborated. The deputy, a well-known critic of the PA and Arafat, added that the Palestinian "president" could not introduce reforms in the way they should be. "I do not think that he is ready moral-wise to accept such reforms", Khader elaborated. Another crack in the facade. Outsiders always view dictatorships as monolithic. Dissent is stifled with an iron hand and opponents are wiped out ruthlessly. And then one day that stops working, and the whole ediface vanishes like a bubble... |
