Fischer cuddles with Arafat
2002-02-16
  • After meeting German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer in Ramallah, Chairman-for-Life Yasser Arafat praised EU efforts, saying he hoped for "something concrete". Fischer reaffirmed the EU's recognition of Arafat, saying it would continue to work with elected leaders on both sides.
    Didja ever notice that when things get really sticky for Yasser, Europe tries to bolster his position? That way no "shitty little country" is going to be able to force the PA into any norms of behavior. The message seems to be "Don't worry Yassie, we won't like the nasty Jews punch you for blowing up grandmaw."
    Arafat's probably just trolling for dinars to pay the bills. Fischer may just be dumb enough to grease Arafat's palm also, despite Arafat's nasty way of miming Herr Hitler's best lines at times.
