#1 I wonder why *anyone* thinks Arafat ever gave a rat's patootie for Paleostine, or Paleostinians. No decision he ever took ever caused anything but pain and despair for his people.

Cool info about the origin of the word Fatah though.

#2 He, and palis, were (and are) SOOO consumed with destroying Israel, they never seriously considered living with it. And Israel disappointed them by not going away.

And today, they still can't get their head around the possibility of anything but destroying Israel -- even if it causes them misery.

#3 Arafat was the Jim Jones of the Paleos, absent the kool aid. The fact is that he never was fully in charge of his government. The inmates ran the asylum.

#5 Nobody destroyed "Palestine", because there never was any Palestine. Just Gentiles unability to accept the existence of a Jewish state.
