Israel's Assassination of Arafat 'a matter of time'

CAIRO - An Israeli attempt to assassinate Yasser Arafat is "only a matter of time", the Palestinian leader's national security adviser Jibril Rajoub said in an interview published here yesterday.

"An attack on Arafat's life is only a matter of time because Arafat symbolises the freedom" of the Palestinian people, General Rajoub told the Egyptian weekly magazine Nahdat Mir.

On March 22, the leader of the Palestinian radical Islamic movement Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, was killed in an Israeli helicopter raid in Gaza City.

And Israel assassinated his successor, Abdelaziz Rantissi, less than a month later.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was slapped down by his allies in Washington after giving an interview in which he warned that Arafat was a "marked man".

But he renewed the threat in early April, saying his long-time nemesis was to blame for "the murder of Jews for decades" and that "all those who kill Jews or push for the killing of Jews or Israeli citizens deserve to die."

For Rajoub, the assassinations of Sheikh Yassin and Rantissi were designed "to abort the inter-Palestinian dialogue, which was on the point of succeeding" between Arafat's Palestinian Authority and radical groups.

"The Israelis hit us to push us to react," he said, adding that Hamas retaliation would be "legitimate".

But "the militarisation of the intifada (uprising) and the launching of suicide operations (inside Israel)... have been a strategic error," Rajoub said.

"The resistance should be limited to the occupied zones."

An Israeli attempt to assassinate Yasser Arafat is "only a matter of time",

Judging from recent events, it won't be merely "an attempt"...

[John Frum]

The removal of Arafat is a good thing. Perhaps we can revoke that peace prize too that supposedly he received.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

 

The Terrorist, and his enabler...

tick, tick, tick, tick,.....

[Redbob]

Long, long overdue!

An Israeli attempt to assassinate Yasser Arafat is "only a matter of time", the Palestinian leader's national security adviser Jibril Rajoub said in an interview published here yesterday.

Hmmm, sounds like someone wants a promotion and is laying the ground for a false-flag operation.

[Not that'd I'd be less than happy if he was right.]

[alloysteel]

It is not like Arafat has never had opportunity to reform. He will not, not even with the most advantageous of terms offered to him for settlement of the dispute between the Jewish and Arab adversaries on land occupancy of Israel. Only one objective seems to be acceptable, to push the Jews into the sea.

As this outcome is highly unlikely in any event, and Arafat remains intransigent, then he has become an obstacle in the path to peace. Like an aged and surly dog, he shall be administered euthanasia. Or dysthanasia. Or simply thanasia. Or he could flee the Gaza Strip altogether.

[onedoug]

Better late than never.

[Southern62]

if it happened today it would be overdue..

Coming to a terrorist Pali neighborhood near you...

[Fitzcarraldo]

A yawning chasm opens up before Arafat, with flames leaping from its depths...

Of course, that is the followup to this cartoon:

Just one among very many musli that need to be killed.

We kill them, before they kill us.

[sheik yerbouty]

Put a stake through the heart of that old vampire!

[isthisnickcool]

Too bad they can't figure out a way to kill him 20 years ago. The old Egyptian (even Arafat can't speak "Palestinian*)pirate need to go.

*Neither can anyone else on the planet.

[hosepipe]

Americans have been brain washed to think there even IS a Palestinian people. There is'nt. Facts are available galore. If anybody thinks there are Palestinians. Then you are are a Palest-Dummyian..

NO Pali language, NO Pali dishes, No Pali law, NO Pali dances, NO Pali history, NO Pali culture, NO Pali music, NO Pali infrastructure, NO Pali Art, NO Pali Archetecture, NO Pali Currency, NO Pali WARS, for sure- NO Pali VICTORYS.. and last NO PALI..stein..WHY?..why indeed

[conserv13]

Americans have been brain washed to think there even IS a Palestinian people. There is'nt.

So who are the millions of people who live in the Gaza strip and West Bank? What do you do with them? There are 3 options:

1. Forcibly remove them from their homes and push them into Egypt or Jordan.

2. Negotiate some kind of independent state for them.

3. Keep the status quo.

[Alouette]

1. Forcibly remove them from their homes and push them into Egypt or Jordan Israel.

That's what they say they want.

[Redcloak]

Should we start an Arafat-death-watch pool?

[Mr. Mojo]

Long, long overdue!

Decades

[BossLady]

Palestinians took the 'cult' out of culture!

[middie]

We'll be able to predict when that Super Bowl event is 'goin down. The electro transmission traffic will be huge and the intercepts will be placing all good-guy forces on the highest alert they have. The arabs in Gaza and all across the region will go even more berserk than we've ever seen or imagined and they'll be throwing the kitchen sink and the evening dishes at Israel and every Western power. It may be effective, it may be overdue, but it ain't gonna be pretty, and Americans are apt to feel the same fervent anger and rage that will cover the Middle East and Europe.

June 14th - Flag Day in the U.S.

just b/c he encourages those palestinian animals burn our flags all the time.

[Mr. Mojo]

I wish I had a nickel for every time I was convinced that Arafat's time was almost up.

[colorado tanker]

The Pali's aren't complete failures. Unfortunately, they blow up real good.

[hosepipe]

1 and 2..

[jimfree]

"tick, tick, tick" everybody looking. "tick, tick, tick" see them all a searching. "tick, tick, tick" everybody couldn't find out where the watch was hiding.

The Terrorist, and his enabler


Just after he had been "serviced" by Monica!

[joebuck]

"Hmmm, sounds like someone wants a promotion and is laying the ground for a false-flag operation."

I was thinking the same thing. Arafat has become old and ineffectual. His best use to the terrorists at this point may be as a martyr. This may explain why 'old Yassar expelled those 20 bodyguards from his compound today.

[Salem]

At this late date, I would be surprised if they whacked Arafat, instead waiting it out and letting him die of old age.

We'll see.
