Arafat speaks:

Free and defiant, Arafat blasts Israel

"It’s an ugly crime," Arafat said of the fire [at the Church of Nativity]. "I call on the international community to take immediate measures in the face of this horrendous crime. Those terrorists, Nazis and racists, how can we tolerate them after committing this crime?"

This from the man whom the United States expected a condemnation of terrorism. Instead, rage, rhetoric, etc. Same shit, different day. Why do people persist in thinking Arafat is willing to "deal"? He's a lying sack and that's that.
