| In today's "Maariv International": ... In response to a request of several dozen Israeli left wing activists, the Palestinian leader's chief financial advisor, Mohammad Rashid, told al-Arabiya television this afternoon that Israelis who wish to attend Arafat's burial ceremony should be allowed to do so. According to Gush Shalom spokesman, Adam Keller, among those who would participate are Uri Avneri, Teddy Katz the historian, Yitzhak Frenkeltal from the Forum of Bereaved Parents for Peace and former Jerusalem City Council member Meir Margalit. Frenkental, whose son was murdered in 1994 while serving in the IDF, told NRG Maariv, "I asked to take part in Arafat's funeral because I think it would contribute to an Israeli-Palestinian dialogue and express empathy towards the Palestinian people. Arafat is no longer alive and the gesture is towards the Palestinian people. I am sure many Israelis sympathize with the Palestinians today. I met Arafat many times and saw in him a man who wanted to reach a long-lasting peace. But again, I say, there was no partner on the Israeli side". |

| #5 Re: There are LLL folks everywhere. It is what makes a world. Deal with it as you may but don't expect to rid the world of them. The only real answer is Elections in a republic/democracy form of government (but then you still have the Klinton Factor). |

| #4 I met Arafat many times and saw in him a man who wanted to reach a long-lasting peace until his death, he wore his kaffiyeh in the shape of "palestine" -- which looks remarkably like Israel, the west bank and gaza. That asswipe would only be happy if Israel ceased to exist. And now, fittingly, he ceased to exist, instead. There's a lesson there. |

| #2 I guess Left-wing insanity is found in Israel as well as in the U.S. Demon party. |

#1 I met Arafat many times and saw in him a man who wanted to reach a long-lasting peace. Yeah, Arafart's "long-lasting peace" would have been the silence of the grave achieved via the barrel of a gun. The Paleos still have a long ways to go. |
