No, they should have shot him by now and moved on imho.

Just shoot him? When he a "legitimate" head of state, that until six weeks ago, the US State Department was demanding that Sharon talk to and offer more concessions to? What would world reaction have been? What would US reaction have been? What would Arab reaction have been? What would Palestinian reaction have been?

The territories would have been saved from utter chaos only by their unified desire to kill as many Israelis as possible. The Israelis would love to oust Arafat, but it's not easy. If they kill him, then they own the problem and must reconquer the territories. And there's no lieutenant powerful enough to do it for them.

If Rabin wasn't good enough, Arafat certainly isn't.


I don't know what you mean by this. Rabin wasn't shot by Israeli policy, but by an extremist who thought he was a traitor.
