Not really, Guest. I was using that point to illustrate your double standard. Worked quite well, too, I think.

My answer to your direct question is in my 15 Feb 04 - 11:30 AM post. My answer is that that question, as well as its answer, are irrelevant to the bigger picture.

The point is that you and others here in this thread are saying certain things must be done and it is in the best interests of the Palestinian people them to be done. But you don't really give a shit about the Palestinian people. If you did, you would be calling for an end to the violence committed against the Palestinians by the government of Israel, and you would be calling for an end to the occupation.

What you are really doing here is to use the issue of Arafat's money as a way of justifying further violence committed against the Palestinians by the government of Israel.
