I was shocked when I heard his people ( those brainwashed from birth ) place boobytrapped toy stuffed animals on the beaches, so the Israeli kids would pick them up to play, and have their arms blown off.

It can only be a good thing that he has finally died. Saying Arafat was for peace, is like saying a 'pit bull' dog is a babys best pet.

The problem may not go away so quickly though. The problem goes deeper than just Palestine. Muslims (in general), are raised from birth to hate Jews. It goes back to the Bible.

I know it to be true. I have a co-worker who is from Libya. Thats North Africa, Islamic, and also under a dictatorship which has hated the West, until the Iraqi War. He explains many things to me about Islam and the way of life in that kind of setting. It helps to get an insiders opinion. He isnt the only Muslim I am friends with by the way. Others confirm his account.

Muslims simply want Israel to go away. Thats why Egypt got involved back in the beginning of the 7 day war by blocking the shipping and water access for the new Israel.

I'm not a Jew. But I say, Good luck to them. They are the ones who truly have had the worst side of the conflict. And yes I know the people of Palestine are suffering. But who brought it on themselves? Palestine. And who is in a defensive posture, constantly? Israel. Alot of that is thanks to Arafat! A feather in one hand and a gun in the other. Peace? Lay down the gun Palestine, now that Arafat is gone.
