What a wonderful morning it is today to wake up and hear the long awaited good news that the despot, mass murderer and father of modern day terrorism, Arafat, finally left this world for hell.

The only difference between Arafat and Hitler is the technology and the quantity. Their purpose was the same: to liquidate the Jewish People. Arafat set out to do this in his declarations, his actions, his plans, and with the money he sent the terrorist organizations. What type of hypocrisy is this by world leaders to act as if they are sad on the day of his death? I'm not at all sad. Whoever puts on a sad face today is acting either out of hypocrisy or self-hatred, which I can't understand.

Arafat was a human obstruction to any chance for peace whatsoever. We know his history. He regularly changed his stripes and spoke out of both sides of his mouth. He rebuffed Ehud Barak's offer, which would certainly have improved the lot of his people, facilitated the current Intifada which, so far has claimed 4,000 lives, and stole millions, if not billions, of dollars intended to help his brethren, and facilitate the extravagant needs of his estranged wife Suha in Paris.

He educated generations upon generations of the value of suicidal martyrdom, holy war and hatred, and that's why it's unrealistic to expect anything to change simply because he is dead.

The only thing good that can be said of Arafat is that he is finally dead.

Unfortunately, my community and family will still have to suffer the stench of Arafat’s rotting corpse in Ramallah until the rats in the Mukata finish him off. A most fitting end for the king of rats.
