Arafat is encircling himself with a "human shield" of women and children (translation)
Walla! News ^ | 9/18/2003 | Amos Har-el - Haaretz News Service

Posted on 09/17/2003 9:25:13 PM PDT by yonif

Translation from Hebrew to English by me:

The office of Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat, has contacted lately leaders of the Fatah movement and the Palestinian security apparatus, telling them they should instruct their activists to volunteer their family members, to serve as a "human shield" to the chairman. The Authority intends of supplying Yasser a permanent "guard" of women and children from these familes to obstruct any tries by Israel to harm him.

Since last week, when Israel decided that Arafat is to be removed, daily visits have been occuring to his Mukata in Ramallah by groups of Palestinians who want to identify with Arafat; in two cases even leftist activist delegations and Knesset members from Israel. Information that has gotten to the Israeli intelligence services says that the Chairman's office is interested in continuing this and to make sure there is a permanent existence of civilians around Arafat. Palestinian women and children will be in the Mukata even during the night, so as to maybe put off decisions regarding an Israeli military operation.

-The rest of the article deals with another topic.

What makes Arafart so sick is the fact that he KNOWS that having himself surrounded by women and children will stop his "evil" enemy from attacking him. He KNOWS the Israelis will NOT attack him with that "shield." Sick.

Arab men say they DON'T treat their women like chattel and breed children for cannon fodder....so why is it Yasser is treating the women like chattel and the children as nothing more than cannon fodder?

Arabs truly have no imagination.

I wonder how many of those "women" are from Oregon and willing to throw their bodies under evil bulldozers in order to protect him?

How brainwashed does a person need to be to send their own children and wives to be human sacrifices for a corrupt lying murderer like Yasser Arafat?

Interesting that the human shield strategy of women and children depends on the morality and mercy of Israel not to harm them, while the Palestinians love killing children and women, even their own.

The Arab culture, in my opinion, is evil.

It may be time for an Israeli sharp shooter woman to dress up like an Arab, in a black tent with a gun that can easily be dropped under it while she dissappears into the confused crowd. It would be good of course if someone else created a diversion at the same time.

Seems a shame that Arafat is using amatuer human shields when we have so many professional human shields who have been unemployed since the fall of Bahgdad....

Seems arafat (no CAPS intended) has as little regard for palastinian women and children as he does for Jewish women and children.

This man is hitler and hussein all over again. He deserves the same fate.

It's not a surprise though. His two mentors are Adolph Hitler...and Saddam Hussein, the king of the human shield. Yasser has been Saddam's public lap puppy for years.

A point that should not be taken lightly. Arafat and his ilk love preaching sacrifice while keeping their ass out of the line of fire.
