Yasser sez he wants peace, really, truly.
2002-02-06
  • Chairman-for-Life Yasser Arafat warned in an interview with Britain's newspaper the Mirror that failure to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians would threaten world stability, and called on the international community to help end the conflict. "The whole international community will be directly affected by what happens here. Our peace is the platform for the whole peace," he said. Arafat told the British tabloid that he was "committed" to peace and that the Palestinians were ready to live as "an equal neighbour" alongside the Jewish state.
    Yasser's probably waiting for a surrender document to get himself out of this mess. Once he's signed, he could always abrogate it later. Palestine has been threatening world stability for lo, these many years. That was the root of this "war on terrorism" mess in the first place. As ever with Yasser, the devil's in the details - get a thorough definition of "equal neighbor" before signing anything. Not that it's worth signing anything with him.
