Funny thing about that, GUEST. Every time I try to provide some balance in a discussion of Israel/Palestine, someone rakes me over the coals for it. It's the darndest thing. Personally I would prefer that the discussion not be about me.

Funny thing, CarolC. This thread was not started as a discusussion of Israel/Palestine. It was supposed to be about how a leader with no obvious sources of great uncome, other than stealing from the billions in foreign aid that the Palestinian Authority has received from the Eestern democracies that he hates so much, came to have $300 million in his personal French bank accounts, while most of his people live in abject poverty.

But somehow, anytime there's a Mudcat thread about Arafat, you end up making it about yourself.
