| Kuwaiti editorial: Arafat is a Traitor |
| 2002-05-18 |
| Al-Watan (Kuwait), Editorial, May 10, 2002. "Ever since the Israeli forces with their tanks and soldiers laid siege to the Palestinian refugee camps in order to liquidate Palestinian activists, particularly Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam, they have surrounded Arafat in his quarters to mislead the world [into believing] that the leader is a danger and should be neutralized while, at the same time, allowing him to appear as a steadfast leader facing Israeli occupation." Who did? The Israelis? Is there something wrong with this translation? "We see many scenes unfold in this show. We laugh incessantly at the second scene in which Arafat appears in sound but not in picture, repeating through the world's radios and televisions: 'They want to take me as a prisoner or as a dead man and I say, No! [You only take me as a] martyr, martyr martyr.'" Yeah, we had a chuckle at that, too... "And the blood of the honest among his people flows in Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah and, and, and...!!" You mean the Bigs are never the ones who stop a bullet? You noticed that, too, huh? "The show finishes and the siege on Arafat is lifted and he appears on the stage hoisting his famous insignia which at the end of every conspiracy carried out by this traitor, he presents on a golden tray to the Israelis and afterwards to the father of treasons and the destroyer of the nation's unity and the incessant striver towards its division, [none] other than the dictator Saddam Hussein." Yeah. Isn't it grand? And the Arabs keep sending him money. Go figger. Oh. You're trying to do that...? |
