They don't get it, do they? So long as they and those like them persist, those of a "Muslim" persuasion will continue to poison the rest of the world. It's NOT the people of Israel who are a problem!!!! It's idiots like Arafat who are the thorn in EVERYONE'S side!

I can't decide whether the Nobel prize is mostly irrelevant or obscene. Getting one would be a slap in the face.
