Arafat - Good Riddance
November 16, 2004
Yasser Arafat the head of the PLO
(Palestine Liberation Organization) and the Palestinian people died
recently. Good riddance. The problem is that his legacy will live on and
more people will certainly die.
As a life long terrorist, he was very
successful.
Arafat had been part of a terrorist
organization called Fatah (or al-Fatah) since it was formed in 1959. It was
and is an organization determined to create a state of Palestine upon the
dead bodies of Israelis and their allies in the Middle East. Arafat became
its leader presumably based on his hatred and blood thirsty ways.
Age, certainly did not mellow him.
The PLO was formed in 1964 as an umbrella
organization for various Arab terrorist groups with Fatah as the primary
one. Arafat then became the head of the PLO in 1968.
Part of the PLO was the group called “Black
September” which launched a terrorist strike in Germany on September 5,
1972. “Black September” was Fatah and under orders from Arafat. On that
day, Arab terrorists entered the Olympic Village in Munich,
Germany and within a day, eleven
Israelis, five terrorists and a German policeman were dead.
This event defines the PLO.
We can forget about Arafat the man but not
what he and his followers have done the past 40 plus years. PLO actions
prove the maxim that "past behavior predicts future behavior". So expect
more death and destruction.
The commitment to the destruction of Israel
is not just rantings of Arafat and a couple close henchmen. It is in Fatah,
Palestinian, and PLO writings, speeches and videos.
In the past few decades,
Palestinian hatred has been effectively distilled for the masses to insure
its support by its young and many governments in Europe, the Middle East,
Africa and Asia. This makes the PLO et al. an entrenched and insidious
terrorist network more vicious and deadly than Al Qaeda.
It has been "main-streamed" in world
politics and culture.
The PLO and Palestine must be part of
the "War on Terror", if it isn't, "Be afraid, very afraid."
