Egyptian magazine confirms Arafat was behind Munich Olympic and other murders
National Review Online ^ | 12/28.2007 | Tom Gross

Posted on 12/28/2007 11:25:49 AM PST by mojito

The latest edition of the Egyptian magazine Al-Ahram Al-Arabi has confirmed what many in the West have suspected for a long time: that Yasser Arafat personally directed the Black September terrorist organization that claimed responsibility for the 1971 murder of Jordanian Prime Minister Wasfi at-Tal, the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, and other atrocities.

The Cairo newspaper quotes a new book by PLO leader Marwan Kanafani, “Years of Hope,” to be published soon.

There have also long been claims that Arafat’s longtime deputy Mahmoud Abbas, who is still widely known in the Middle East by his military name Abu Mazen, was very closely involved in the Munich Olympics massacre.

This comes as no great surprise, except perhaps to the State Department. I'm so glad that US taxpayers just "donated" $500 million to Abu Mazen and Fatah. Thank you Condi, for your far-sighted leadership.

If true I’m extremely concerned our country’s intelligence networks were not aware of this.

If our intelligence was awre of this I’m deeply concerned we did not help in his elimination much much earlier.

Indeed, you are right. In addition to the State Department, I should have included the sages of Stockholm.

No wonder the Clinton’s loved the guy so much. And here I thought there was no or very little basis for their adoration.

And to think, Dimmycraps (especially the Klintoons) loved this terrorist. Evita even kissed the terrorist’s moll.

I spit on their confirmation. It isn't worth our ear.

Anyone with a soul knows what Arafat was and the empty words of a terrorist put to paper mean nothing.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel, WOT

..................

Not to mention the murder of Ambassador Cleo Noel and Charge d'Affair George Moore in 1973. On Arafat's direct order, tape recorded by the NSA, a recording not released till 2003.

All this known to Bush I and Baker when they chose to bring Arafat back from Tunisia rather than rely on homegrown palestinian leadership in their "peace process".

Who Murdered Cleo Noel?-Why does State Dept cover up Arafat's role in murdering a US diplomat

This comes as no great surprise...

The only surprise to my way of thinking is that the Israelis were never able to successfully assassinate him. Have no idea how accurate the movie, "Munich" was but I'm amazed that the Mossad never had the will, or ability, or timing to send him to Hell (or "Paradise" depending on your point of view) long before his "Appointed Time"...

"A nobel peace prize winner..."

Ah yes....but you omit his endearing attributes:

Liar - Spoke one story in English but his true story in Arabic.
War Monger - Refused Peace when it was within his grasp.
Terrorist leader and enabler -- The Palestinian's Jesse Jackson.
Pervert -- Homosexual -- Pedophile
Thief -- Stole from Palestinian "relief funds" to build a fortune.

Doesn’t matter; all water under the bridge.

IIRC, our betters granted him a full pardon for anything and everything, known & unknown, so he could ‘effectively lead his people on the road to peace’.

Didn’t his uncle set up the Muslim Brotherhood? Collaborate with Hitler? Teach “Yassir” everything he knew, so he could ‘inherit’ the leadership?

Arafat is dead. I believe that's the case with George Habash.

Those are the only two Palestinian terrorists I've ever seen or met in the Washington DC area.

Before they were really famous the State Department used to invite them over for meetings of various kinds, then they ended up killing too many people to make that sort of thing comfortable anymore so they quit making the visits.

They both "worked for the man" and he was in Moscow. If "the man" had found out about those early visits to Washington I'm pretty sure they'd found their funds cut off and someone else brought in to replace them.

Sometimes this is one doggone stange place.

She ceased to be disappointing back when she dropped the hard line on NK, and then continued the policy of throwing good money after bad in the ME.

She went from appearing to be doing Bush's bidding, to taking great pride and joy in continuing disastrous policies.
