Yasser calls for end to suicide attacks
2001-12-16
  • Chairman-for-Life Yasser Arafat called for a halt to anti-Israeli attacks by radical groups and for Israel to end its "unjust" war against the Palestinian people. "I am calling once again for a halt to all operations, particularly suicide attacks which we have always condemned," he said in a televised address marking the end of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. He also called for Israel return to the negotiating table, saying peace talks were the only way of resolving the conflict.
    Arafat is staring into oblivion. The Palestinians are getting their nether regions kicked and returning to yap-yap can take the heat off while the attacks on Israel start up again with onesie-twosie hits. Israel would do best to maintain the pressure and keep to its resolution to look for someone else to talk to. Like King Abdullah.
