Arafat Says Palestinians Will Continue Struggle


RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - President Yasser Arafat said Thursday that Palestinians would continue their struggle for an independent state and insisted on the right of Palestinian refugees to return to what is now Israel.

Arafat's speech was his first official reaction after President Bush's statement of support for Israel keeping parts of the West Bank under any future peace deal and ruling out a return for the refugees.

Palestinians are outraged at Bush's pledges Wednesday, which broke with decades of U.S. policy.

Arafat, evidently angry, did not refer to Bush directly in a statement broadcast on Palestinian television but said: "The fanatical Israeli rulers are wrong and so are those who support them and you know who I mean."

1. The veils have been lifted, the lies revealed.
It never had anything to do about security. This was an
elaborate fifty-year old hoax perpetrated on the world to
hide the real goal of stealing as much land from the
Palestinian inhabitants of that land as possible. Once
Sharon revealed that the land theft was to be
permanent, regardless of the state of peace negotiations
with the Palestinians, he put paid to the Israeli lies
about security. We need never again give any credence to
Israeli whining of how the Palestinians want to push them
into the sea, of how they have to shoot children in the face
and bulldoze building over their occupants in self-defense,
of how the obvious cause of Palestinian unrest is actually
the guarantee of Israeli peace. The lying is over. The goal
was always land theft, and Sharon and Bush have proved
it.

Mazel tov!

2. You mean the "hoax" about the Arabs attacking Israel?
And THEIR destruction of the Palestinian state in the process?

3. no possibility for a Palestinian state/only a Bantustan
Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 08:32 AM by jmcgowanjm
Palestinians now know they must direct their
political, diplomatic, and direct action efforts towards
a single-state solution, with one-person, one-vote over
the whole area comprising Israel and the Occupied
Territories. Demographics will take care of the rest.

On the History:

Future Israeli PM's in action:

Ninety people killed and forty five wounded after Jewish
terrorists blow up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem,
Palestine, which was home to British government and
military offices. The terrorists held workers at pistol point
while they planted the explosives in the basement of the
hotel.
