A prick for propaganda. Yasser Arafat gives blood after a life devoted to taking it. Health officials reassured the public that his contribution would not be added to the blood supply. A festival of impermanence and fulfillment Diverting the war on terror to hit Israel Enemies, foreign and domestic The limits of restraint ... Welcome inside! israelinsider person of the year: Yasser Arafat By Reuven Koret, Publisher September 17, 2001 Award presentation When Osama bin Laden burst into fame after his genocidal jet-bombs assaulted New York and Washington, our publishing team discussed adding him to our list of candidates for israelinsider person of the year, recognizing the man or woman who has most impacted the Jewish State. But we nixed the idea first, the primary target of his attacks is America. The impact on Israel may well come but not this year. But the bin Laden spirit and tradition is well represented on our list and in fact, it was this nominee who handily won the popular vote. If bin Laden is the new killer on the block, Yasser Arafat (or Abu Amar, his nom de guerre) is the "old man" of terror. Arafat founded his Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964, long before Israel had conquered East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in the defensive Six Day War.

Headline Newsbox Last Update: 18/05/2004 17:29 Report: Jordan's king urges Arafat to weigh stepping aside By The Associated Press and Haaretz Service AMMAN - Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat should take "a long look in the mirror" and decide whether to step aside in the interest of his people, Jordan's king said in an interview published Tuesday, providing a rare indication of Arab frustration with the Palestinian leader. In an interview with The New York Times conducted Monday, King Abdullah II also said Iraq's next ruler should be a "tough guy" with a military background capable of holding the shattered country together. Israel and the United States often have pushed for Arafat to step aside, and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has harshly criticized the Palestinian leader in recent days. Powell said Arafat "continues to take actions and make statements that make it exceptionally difficult to move forward," and he suggested Palestinian and other Arab leaders should persuade him to make way for a more flexible successor. In a televised speech to mark Nakba (catastrophe) Day earlier in the week, Arafat, quoting from the Koran, called on the Palestinian people to "terrorize the enemy."

Yasser Arafat Presidente dell'Autorità nazionale palestinese e leader dell'Olp e di al-Fatah, nato in Egitto il 24 agosto 1929 INDICE PROTAGONISTI Il presidente dell'Autorità nazionale palestinese, che ontrolla i Territori Occupati a Gaza e nella Cisgiordania, nasce secondo le fonti più accreditate al Cairo, in Egitto (ma secondo altre fonti a Gerusalemme o a Gaza) il 24 agosto 1929. Trascorre la sua infanzia al Cairo e a Gerusalemme, presso uno zio, dopo che la madre morì quando lui aveva quattro anni (il padre era invece un commerciante di successo). Proprio a Gerusalemme, in quegli anni sotto il mandato britannico, ha i primi contatti con il fenomeno dell'immigrazione ebraica in Palestina e con l'intensificarsi degli scontri tra ebrei e arabi. Studia ingegneria civile all'università del Cairo dove, nel 1952, si unisce alla Fratellanza musulmana e alla Lega degli studenti palestinesi di cui diviene anche il presidente. Consegue il diploma di laurea nel 1956. Nel frattempo, però, si impegna attivamente nella causa palestinese iniziando, appena diciassettenne, a contrabbandare armi dall'Egitto verso la Palestina, combattendo contro le milizie ebraiche durante il conflitto del 1948-1949 (guerra dell'indipendenza) e partecipando, nel 1956, alla campagna di Suez nell'esercito egiziano, di cui, in precedenza, era stato nominato ufficiale. Si dice, a proposito del conflitto scoppiato nel '48, che riuscì ad entrare insieme a un gruppo di compagni in Israele per sferrare un attacco contro lo Stato ebraico. Lui stesso, però, dichiarerà in seguito che in realtà lui e i suoi compagni vennero disarmati e rimandati indietro da altri arabi, che non vedevano di buon occhio l'intervento di truppe irregolari palestinesi.

June 18, 2002 America's Unsettled Score With Yasser Arafat By Scott Johnson On May 21 the State Department issued its annual Patterns of Global Terrorism report for the year 2001. Elsewhere in the government, terrorism has been addressed with a new seriousness and candor. In the report, however, the State Department whitewashes the now thoroughly documented terrorist activities of Yasser Arafat and Fatah, Arafat's umbrella political-paramilitary organization inside the PLO. Although Fatah's paramilitary Tanzim forces are clearly accountable to and funded by Arafat, for example, the report characterizes them as "small and loosely organized cells of militants drawn from the street-level membership of Fatah " The report fails to attribute responsibility for any of the numerous shootings and bombings committed by Tanzim forces to Arafat himself. Instead of laying any responsibility for the ongoing terrorist war against Israel at the foot of Arafat, the report adds a surprising twist to the diplomatic sugarcoating. The State Department finds that Israel's attacks on the "security" forces committing terrorism under Arafat's command have compromised Arafat's ability to prevent terrorism.

Complete List of Issue Briefs JERUSALEM ISSUE BRIEF Vol. 1, No. 4 1 October 2001 One Year of Yasser Arafat's Intifada: How It Started and How It Might End The first anniversary of the current Palestinian Intifada was marked on September 28, 2001, throughout parts of the Arab world. The date was chosen to correspond to Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount one year ago, when he served as head of Israel's parliamentary opposition. Because of the alleged proximity of his visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque (he actually did not get near the Muslim shrines), the Palestinians called their uprising: the Al-Aqsa Intifada. But clearly this name was chosen in order to mobilize Arab and Islamic public opinion for a more general struggle over Jerusalem rather than over the Palestinian cause alone. "Whoever thinks the Intifada broke out because of the despised Sharon's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque is wrong....This Intifada was planned in advance, ever since President Arafat's return from the Camp David Negotiations," admitted Palestinian Communications Minister 'Imad Al-Faluji six months ago ( Al-Safir

Complete List of Issue Briefs JERUSALEM ISSUE BRIEF Vol. 1, No. 13 25 December 2001 Yasser Arafat, Christmas, and the PFLP Just one day before Yasser Arafat hoped to attend Bethlehem's Christmas-eve celebrations, Israel arrested an operative of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in Haifa, who was planning a terrorist attack in the heart of the city. The two events were not unlinked, for the Israeli government had conditioned Arafat's participation in the Midnight Mass at Bethlehem's St. Catherine's Church upon his arrest of the PFLP leadership in Ramallah who were responsible for the murder last October of Gen. Rehavam Ze'evi, the Minister of Tourism of Israel. While considerable international concerns have been focused since the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington on the fact that the Palestinian Authority harbors Islamic militant organizations, like Hamas and Islamic Jihad, little attention has been paid to the involvement in terrorism of the PFLP, a secular Marxist Palestinian movement that is also the second largest constituent organization in the PLO, after Fatah.

Name: MOHAMMED RYASSERS ARAFAT Titles: CHAIRMAN OF THE P.L.O, AND PRESIDENT OF PALESTINE Year of Birth: 1929 Height: 5 ft 4 in. I Mohammed Arafat was born in Gaza, Palestine in 1929 and later took on the name Yasser . My parents were lower-middle class merchants, my mother died when I was four years old and I was sent to live with an uncle in Jerusalem. I soon moved to Cairo where I spent my formative years. After completing high school I went on to study engineering at the University of Cairo, it was at this time that I began to take a leadership role in the fight for Palestinian rights. I became head of the Palestinian Student Organization and began to work with my peers. In 1957 I moved to Kuwait and found a job as an engineer, though I had left Cairo and the PSO, I was still intrigued by the Palestinian cause. After settling in Kuwait I and several other young Palestinian activists established a small organization called al-Fatah (Arabic for the conquest). We took on a militant platform to further the plight of the Palestinian people. In 1964 the Palestinian Liberation Organization was formed by a group of veteran activists, al-Fatah was not part of the new establishment recognized throughout the Arab world. The defeat in the 1967 war was a disastrous time for the newly formed PLO, the Palestinian people lost faith in the organization and searched for new leaders to fight for their cause. In 1957 al- fatah launched its first military raid on Israel from Syrian borders, and continued attacks after the war. I gained great support from the my people during this time period, and in 1969 al- Fatah merged with the PLO . In the 1970Us I became the head of the PLO, and soon after I was bombarded with questions from the world press. In order for the organization to stay strong I reviled very little about my personal background; only information that I felt would benefit the plight of my brethren. Who exactly are you ?- I am a fighter in the ranks of the Palestinian revolution.- Is your name Yasser Arafat? - That is the name by which I have been known since my university days.- Where are you from ? - From the very heart of the Palestinian people.- The Palestinians would like to know more about their leader; permit us to ask once again who you are?- I am a son of the Palestinian people and a fighter in the ranks of the revolution. The P.L.O maintained a militant image throughout the early 70Us. I continually sent feyadeen to attack Israeli borders, in order to continue on our ultimate goal of creating a Palestinian state . After the war in 1973 I saw a window of opportunity to change the militant platform of the PLO to one of diplomacy. I realized that post war negotiations could be beneficial for my organization. In 1974 before the United Nations General Assembly, the Arab world recognized the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinian people.It was not until 1988 that the PLO officially recognized IsraelUs statehood, and since that date the relationship between our two nations has blossomed. Today I am 67 years old and stand at a height of five foot, four inches tall. Typically I can be seen wearing a traditional Arab chequerd head dress called a Kaffiyeh- red for the desert, black for the country, and white for my town. Since the summer of 1994 I have made several great strides in the eyes of the world, and the Palestinian people: including establishment of the first Palestinian government ( 1994), reception of the Nobel Peace prize (1994), and most recently I was elected president of the newly formed Palestinian state ( 1996). Upon receiving the Nobel Prize for Peace in December, 1994 I made the following statement, which I feel best summarizes the plight of both myself, and the PLO. Since my people entrusted me with the hard task of searching for our lost home, I have been filled with warm faith that those who carried their keys in the diaspora as they carry their own limbs, and that those who endured their wounds in the homeland and maintained their identity will be rewarded by return and freedom for their sacrifices. I have also been filled with faith that the arduous trek on the long path of pain will end in our homes yard.

August 2002 Yasser Arafat: Nazi trained By David N. Bossie - August 9, 2002 Related Articles Arafat's Nazi Connection Arafat, the Nazi Nazi ally, Hajj Amin Al Husseini, is Arafat's "hero" The Arab/Muslim Nazi Connection P resident Bush is right about Yasser Arafat. The Palestinian dictator is a lifelong terrorist and must be replaced before peace can be obtained. Mr. Arafat's reign of terror includes last month's Palestinian suicide bomber murdering 20 people, most of them schoolchildren on a Jerusalem bus, and the recent rash of bombings and shootings of Israeli innocents in retaliation for the killing of one his henchmen by the Israeli military. Since September 2000, Mr. Arafat's terrorist network has murdered at least 560 Israelis and wounded thousands more, and last week murdered five Americans. These innocents are small change to the Palestinian dictator. Since he was a teen-ager in the 1940s, the co-winner of the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize has ordered the murder of thousands of civilians while waging war against the Jews. Mr. Arafat's mentor, Haj Amin Al Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem, indoctrinated him with hatred toward Israel. The grand mufti led Palestinian Arabs from 1920 until Mr. Arafat succeeded him in 1967. The mufti encouraged Arab terrorism against Jewish immigrants to Palestine between the two world wars, and like Mr. Arafat today, the mufti piously disclaimed any responsibility for terrorist acts committed by his followers. In 1929 and 1936, the mufti personally led large-scale riots against Jewish settlers. During World War II, the mufti journeyed to Nazi Germany where he personally begged Adolf Hitler to invade British-ruled Palestine and rid it of Jews. The mufti received sympathy, but no help, from Hitler. Nevertheless, he broadcast radio tirades approving Hitler's "final solution" of the Jewish problem.

Following the recent bombing in Jerusalem in which a live donkey, laden with explosives, was blown up, shocking people of all nationalities around the world, PETA has written to Palestinian National Authority President Yasser Arafat asking that he urge those who listen to him to keep animals out of the conflict. February 3, 2003 Yasser Arafat, President Palestinian National Authority Ramallah, West Bank Palestinian Authority 1 page via facsimile: 972 7 282 2365 Your Excellency: I am writing from an organization dedicated to fighting animal abuse around the world. We have received many calls and letters from people shocked at the bombing in Jerusalem on January 26 in which a donkey, laden with explosives, was intentionally blown up. All nations behave abominably in many ways when they are fighting their enemies, and animals are always caught in the crossfire. The U.S. Army abandoned thousands of loyal service dogs in Vietnam. Al-Qaeda and the British government have both used animals in hideously cruel biological weaponry tests. We watched on television as stray cats in your own compound fled as best they could from the Israeli bulldozers. If you have the opportunity, will you please add to your burdens my request that you appeal to all those who listen to you to leave the animals out of this conflict?

Our Palestinian people will never forget the position taken by this honorable assembly and these friendly States in support of right and justice and in defense of the values and principles for which the United Nations organization was established- This position will be a source of confidence and security to all peoples subjected to injustice, oppression, and occupation and struggling, like the Palestinian people, for freedom, dignity, and survival. I reiterate our solidarity with and Support for the liberation movements in Namibia and South Africa in their struggle, and our support for the African frontline states against the aggression of the racist South African regime. I seize this opportunity to express my gratitude to those friendly states which took the initiative in supporting us, in endorsing Our PNC resolutions, and in recognizing the State Of Palestine.

No chance Benny Morris was the radical Israeli historian who forced his country to confront its role in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Later he was jailed for refusing to do military service in the West Bank. But now he has changed his tune. As the cycle of violence in the Middle East intensifies, he launches a vicious attack on the 'inveterate liar' Yasser Arafat - and explains why he believes a peaceful coexistence is impossible Thursday February 21, 2002 The Guardian The rumour that I have undergone a brain transplant is (as far as I can remember) unfounded - or at least premature. But my thinking about the current Middle East crisis and its protagonists has in fact radically changed during the past two years. I imagine that I feel a bit like one of those western fellow travellers rudely awakened by the trundle of Russian tanks crashing through Budapest in 1956. Arafat rejected the offer, insisting on 100% Israeli withdrawal from the territories, sole Palestinian sovereignty over the Temple Mount, and the refugees' "right of return" to Israel proper. Instead of continuing to negotiate, the Palestinians - with the agile Arafat both riding the tiger and pulling the strings behind the scenes - launched the intifada. Clinton (and Barak) responded by upping the ante to 94-96% of the West Bank (with some territorial compensation from Israel proper) and sovereignty over the surface area of the Temple Mount, with some sort of Israeli control regarding the area below ground, where the Palestinians have recently carried out excavation work without proper archaeological supervision.

Alfred Lilienthal Originally Published In The WASHINGTON REPORT On Middle East Affairs http://www.washington-report.org The Other Side of the Coin An Open Letter to Yasser Arafat By Dr. Alfred M. Lilienthal November 1988, Page 13 Dear Abu Ammar (Yasser Arafat): At this critical moment, I am sure you are receiving advice from all over the world on what you ought to do next to achieve statehood for the Palestinian people. I was amongst those present at the United Nations in New York on Nov. 13, 1974, when you took your first giant step toward achieving your life's goal. In addressing the General Assembly, you stated: "We are struggling so that Jews, Christians, and Muslims may live in equality and enjoy the same rights and assume the same duties, free from racial or religious discrimination. " You must adopt a bold initiative which can bring to your side many influential non-Zionist Jews who heretofore have allowed organized Jewry to speak in their name. There were those who then and still now totally oppose the achievement of such a noteworthy objective. No student of the history of the Palestinian-Zionist conflict can help but appreciate the Herculean job you have been doing, first in bringing together, and then in striving to keep all Palestinian factions under the one umbrella of the Palestine Liberation Organization. As a soldier, commando, and diplomat you breathed life into a moribund PLO, restored Palestinian dignity, and transformed the Palestinian fight for individual survival into a collective struggle for a national identity.

And why does Secretary of State Powell want to deal with him? SHIBLEY TELHAMI, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND: Arafat is the only Palestinian leader at this time who can actually still legitimize a deal. If you don't deal with Arafat, with whom do you deal? He is the elected President of the Palestinian Authority.
