Thread Name: Is Arafat Irrelevant
Subject: RE: Is Arafat Irrelevant
i HOPE THAT McGrath of Harlow doesn't mind my questioning his or her objectivity. The Wealthy Arab nations have been supporting the Palestian cause since 1948. They have supplied arms, armies and almost unlimited funds to continue the hostilities. The Soviet Union supplied arms, planes, tanks and advisors to the Arab states involved in the wars since shortly after the Suez Canal war in 1956. The funding for the terrorists does not come from the impoverished Palestinian people. It is oil money and it originates in the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Yemen. When McGrath from Harlow starts condemning the fiftythree years of aggression against the Jewish state, I will pay a little more attention to his or her remarks. I am a life long leftist, but I am disturbed that my fellow travelers react, only when Israel retaliates for an attack. Being open minded is all well and good but not so open minded that your brains fall out.
