There are three possible
explanations for Arrafats uttering that "unless Israel would leave the
Westbank immediately, there is going to be a large explosion, that would
shake the whole region and effect the whole World!" 1. Arrafat would want
to suggest that there are some high explosives in the area. 2. He
wants to instigate a war in the manner Bin Laden thought he could get the
Arabic world to follow him in a Jihad, or 3. and the most likely possibility
that, because of lack of sleep and realizing that he now has become an
old man, he would like to die a non violent death. Most likely he is just
losing it. The bedroom in his compound was made unusable during a raid
by the Israeli army last Thursday. This violent man sees the violence coming
nearer and nearer to his person. And he does'nt like it. An other reason
that Arrafat is getting testier is that President Bush after his meeting
with Egypt's President Mubarak during a press conference, mentioned that
it is not Arrafat or any single person, but the future hopes for the Palestinian
people what is important. Mr Bush also mentioned that there must be many
talented people among the Palestinians as prospective leaders. Mubarak
had read a longwinded, many pages long prepared speech. He proposed to
give Arrafat an other chance, something to which Mr. Bush clearly was not
willing to give much consideration to, not unlike the proposed idea of
timetable to the establishment of the Palestinian state. Hearing Mubarak's
insincere words it became clear that we in the US or Western World are
relative well off with our untrustworthy politicians. |
