| Paleostinians Bitch About Operations to Eliminate Arafat |
| 2002-06-18 |
| Palestinian officials responded angerly to the Israeli admission that the actions of the Israeli army in the West Bank and Gaza are part of a greater effort to eliminate Palestinian Authortiy President Yasser Arafat. The admission of attempts to eliminate Arafat were uttered by an Israeli defense ministry advisory, stating that Isreael’s operations aimed at replacing Arafat with a new Palestinian leadership. "The bottom line of the operations is to put Arafat aside, to let emerge new young leaders from the Palestinian side," David Hasham said, naming former security chief Mohammed Dahlan as "the most important figure" in Israeli eyes. Palestinian officials condemned the statement as did Mohammed Dahlan, who stated, "They know and we know and everybody knows that President Arafat is a president elected by the Palestinian people." Naming names, especially with Paleostinians, who seem to suck paranoia with Mother's Milk, seems an excellent tactic to me. It could end up being a little hard on Dahlan, but I never liked him anyway... |
