If I rob a 7-Eleven for $20, I'm doing 5 years in the slammer. Arafat has orchestrated thousands of murders, the destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars in property, and has stolen over a billion dollars for himself. He's given godly status and his family will be able to spend a fortune for several generations. What a load of crap that is. /rant off

You can blame it on the Europeans, especially the French. They resumed their traditional anti-semitic stance and started supporting (ie: excusing and courting) Arafat and his terrorism shortly after the 1967 war. To bad the Europeans didn't just leave the Ottoman Empire in place after WWI instead of inventing a lot of artificial countries in the middle east and then walking away when they realized it wasn't going to work. Once again, as in WWI, WWII and Vietnam, we are stuck with dealing with a problem created by the Europeans.
