The world media portrays Yasser
Arafat as a kindly George Washington of the Palestinian people. The real Arafat
is a blood-thirsty Ghoul. He Pioneered airline high- jacking's, and he was the
god father of terror. Whole villages of Christians were massacred under his
command in Lebanon. His P.L.O. conducted many cowardly campaigns of murder.
Perhaps the best known, in 1972, when 5 Arab terrorists entered the Olympic
Village in Munich Germany, and Slaughtered 11 unarmed Israeli athletes in cold
blood. This beast must not be glorified! To the side, you will find a portrait
of the real Yasser Arafat. A man courted by the Democrats and shunned by
Republicans. Now do you know why God smiles on George Bush?
Yasser Arafat has compiled a record of atrocities which would be the envy of
past war criminals. From the blowing-up of planes, through thousands of
terrorist attacks, ordering the execution of American Ambassador to Sudan, Cleo
No'l, charges des affaires George Moore and the Belgium aid, Guy Eid in
Khartoum.
During the 12 year Civil War in Lebanon, caused by Yasser Arafat's assuming
power through terror, his terrorists committed mass murder. Whole Villages of
Christians like Damour were massacred, chopped into pieces with machetes. Out of
the 30,000 Christians, 10,000 were slaughtered by Arafat's PLO. The town was
then occupied and kept as Arafat's stronghold. David Shipler of the New York
Times wrote the story of Damour June 21, 1982. There were individual murders.
One horrific, but typical, example is when the Muktar (leader) of a village
refused to be cooperative with Arafat and his terrorists. The Muktar's teenage
daughter was abducted and raped. Her breasts were cut off and she was delivered
to the doorstep of her father in a sack.
At 4:30 A.M. on September 5, 1972, five Arab terrorists wearing track suits
climbed the six and ½ foot fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich,
Germany. Once inside, they were met by three others who had gained entrance with
credentials. Within 24 hours, 11 Israelis, five terrorists and a German
policeman were dead. The Munich operation was ordered by Yasser Arafat and
carried out by Fatah, Arafat's faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization
(PLO).
Arafat Finances
Terrorist Attacks
On September 19, 2001, Arafat personally approved a request for payment of $600
to three people including Ra'ad Karmi, commander of the Tanzim in Tulkarm, who
was personally involved in at least 25 shooting attacks against Israelis. Arafat
funded Karmi even though Israel had placed Karmi on its "most-wanted" list just
three months earlier. On the same day, Arafat approved payment to Amar Qadan, a
member of his own Force-17 "Presidential Guard," who was involved in terrorist
operations.
A second request was faxed to Arafat to fund 12 more terrorists. According to
Colonel Miri Eisin of the IDF intelligence Branch, "Every single one of them was
on our wanted list these are Tanzim members, which is Arafat's own party."
Arafat knew well that these individuals were involved in terrorism.
Nevertheless, on January 7, 2002, "Arafat himself in his handwriting, with his
signature agreed to pay the money."
On January 17, 2002, two and a half weeks later, a Palestinian killed six
Israelis and wounded twenty-six at a bat-mitzvah party in Hadera, initiated and
planned by one of those on Arafat's list Mansur Saleh Sharim, who was already
responsible for the deaths of at least three Israelis. Senior Fatah figures in
Israeli custody, like Marwan Barghouti, admitted subsequently that Arafat
approved funding for Fatah operatives with knowledge that it would be used to
finance terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.
Arafat Commands
the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades
While some draw a distinction between Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization and the
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Palestinians refute such assertions. The leader of the
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Tulkarm told USA Today in March 2002: "The truth is,
we are Fatah, but we didn't operate under the name of Fatah We are the armed
wing of the organization. We receive our instructions from Fatah. Our commander
is Yasser Arafat himself."
In the early months of 2002, the number of attacks by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigades, including suicide bombings, exceeded those of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
On September 16, 2001, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades requested payment to cover
expenses for "production of explosive charges" from Arafat's financial
confidante, Fuad Shubaki, who, as the head of the Palestinian Authority's "Armed
Forces Financial Directorate," was also the mastermind behind the Karine-A
weapons ship delivery from Iran. That ship also carried huge amounts of C-4
explosives that could only be use for bombing attacks against Israel.
Arafat Authorized
Hamas and Islamic Jihad Attacks
During March 9-13, 1997 (and perhaps earlier), Arafat met personally in Gaza
with the leaders of Hamas and other militant groups, and gave them the "green
light" to resume terrorist attacks. Following those meetings, Chief of Staff
Lt.-Gen. Amnon Lipkin-Shahak told Israel Radio on March 23, 1997: "Organizations
such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad have an understanding from the Palestinian
Authority to carry out attacks." After the outbreak of the violence in September
2000, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah coordinated together under the umbrella of
the "Nationalist and Islamic Forces," led by Fatah.
