Jerusalem Post Editorial: Kill Arafat
Thu Sep 11 2003 22:11:57 ET

The world will not help us; we must help ourselves. We must
kill as many of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad
leaders as possible, as quickly possible, while minimizing
collateral damage, but not letting that
damage stop us. And we must kill Yasser Arafat, because the
world leaves us no alternative.

No one seriously argues with the fact that Arafat was
preventing Mahmoud Abbas, the prime minister he
appointed, from combating terrorism, to the extent that was
willing to do so. Almost no one seriously
disputes that Abbas on whom Israel, the US, and Europe had
placed all their bets failed primarily
because Arafat retained control of much of the security
apparatus, and that Arafat wanted him to fail.

The new prime minister, Ahmed Qurei, clearly will fare no
better, since he, if anything, has been
trying to garner more power for Arafat, not less. Under
these circumstances, the idea of exiling Arafat
is gaining currency, but the standard objection is that he
will be as much or more of a problem when
free to travel the world than he is locked up in Ramallah.

If only three countries Britain, France, and Germany joined
the US in a total boycott of Arafat this
would not be the case. If these countries did not speak with
Arafat, it would not matter much who did,
and however much a local Palestinian leader would claim to
consult with Arafat, his power would be
gone.

But such a boycott will not happen. Only now, after more
than 800 Israelis have died in three years of
suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks, has Europe
finally decided that Hamas is a terrorist
organization. How much longer will it take before it cuts
off Arafat? Yet Israel cannot accept a
situation in which Arafat blocks any Palestinian break with
terrorism, whether from here or in exile.
Therefore, we are at another point in our history at which
the diplomatic risks of defending ourselves
are exceeded by the risks of not doing so.

Nazistisches Getoese, mehr nicht. Nicht mal das Kabinett des
Kriegsverbrechers Sharon kann so doof sein, dass es glaubt, der Tod
Arafats oder auch nur seine "Verbannung" wuerde auch nur ein Problem
loesen. Wen sollen die Israelis denn zum Suendenbock machen, wenn Arafat
weg ist? Von den geifernden "Israelfreunden" mit Pickelhaube in dspm
ganz zu schweigen ... Sie werden weiter versuchen, die Palaestinenser zu
demuetigen, wo moeglich, um immer mehr von ihnen in die Arme von Hamas
und Djihad zu treiben - der Verbrecher Sharon definiert sich
schliesslich durch Gewalt und je mehr Gewalt desto besser ..
