You are being naive of you think that Arafat is a friend of the US; and a fool if you believe it;
here is what he is really up to: Debka reports he will soon show the West what a snake he is, and will make Powell and Peres look like the naive fools they are.

Instead of Gilo, Palestinian guns have turned against Neve Yacov in another part of Jerusalem and Har Adar, to its west; highway killers lay in wait for private cars on Jerusalem roads; Palestinian gun squads have moved out of Jericho to ambush motorists on the Jordan Rift Valley Road. In the Gaza Strip, the grenades and mortar shells never stop flying.
But Arafat needs to preserve his make-believe front of reduced violence, the while loudly declaring his support for America’s war on terror, so as to direct attention away from his next ploy, the small shocker he is preparing for the United States and Israel.
DEBKAfile ’s Johannesburg sources have let this publication in on the secret: The Palestinian leader is preparing to stage a repeat performance of his triumph at the World Conference Against Racism that took place in Durban on August 31, in the form of a second conference in Johannesburg in three weeks time. He has entrusted a Palestinian cabinet member Hassan Asfour, a close aide and liaison officer with Israeli Arabs, Fouad Niemer, and Israeli Knesset member Azmi Besharah with staging his grandstand performance.
Durban II is not sponsored by the UN, although all the same organizations will be represented. It is taking place under the auspices of… Israeli Arabs, the official sponsor being “Ittijah”, a network of Israeli Arab non-governmental bodies. The venture is funded by Egypt, whose president Hosni Mubarak declared in an interview with an Israeli TV reporter, broadcast on October 14, that Ariel Sharon is a bloodthirsty butcher and Israel is guilty of half the acts of terror committed in the world.
Planting Arab Israeli sponsorship behind the event is part and parcel of Arafat’s avowed plan to exploit the Arab minority as a tool for bringing about Israel’s disintegration from within. Key draft resolutions prepared well in advance have reached the desk of DEBKAfile. They single Israel out as a terrorist state like South Africa in its apartheid period, accusing it of the brutal oppression of Israeli Arabs. America is branded a state sponsoring terrorism for supporting Israel!
Naturally, no Arab or Muslim state may be held guilty of sponsoring terrorism; neither is any Arab or Muslim group, whether Palestinian or not, a terrorist entity by the upside-down standards Arafat seeks to introduce in Johannesburg.
The wonder is that Arafat has once again manipulated Peres into making excuses for him. In these circumstances, Arafat’s intentions being what they are, General Mofaz knows he dare not allow the IDF to let its guard down in Hebron or anywhere else for that matter – even though he thereby lays himself open to the charge of crossing the forbidden line between military and civilian authority. |
