"He(Arafat) didn't say "yes". He didn't say "no" and offer changes. He decided that violence was the best strategy and the whole world still supports him."

That is because jews are disposable. Not enough numbers. No oil, successful where we go--assets to be taken--more of them than us. Perfect scapegoats for the worlds misery.

Arafat might have believed and rightfully so that the Arab world would not support peace in 2000 and that may have motivated his actions more than a belief that violence was the best strategy. I am not sure of this at all but it seems to me it has been the Arab states who have always been the rejectionists and the poor folks who live in palestine have really been the victims of that. As victims, just like poor whites in the South during the pre-civil war period, they allowed themselves to be manipulated into finding jews as the scapegoats by those very same people who have actually victimized them. Truth is Arab leaders/states dont give a rats ass about the Palestinians. They use them for their own selfish purposes and the Palestinians keep following blindly. Mike
