I hadn't seen that one. But if you read the whole piece, you see that only a few paragraphs are given to Arafat, while the real venom is saved for Israel and a version of history of the last 50 years that toes the PLO party line. It's like he can't take his attention off Israel long enough to concentrate on his real issue -- how to get a legitimate government for the Palestinians. Yossi Klein Halevi put it well when he said recently that most Israelis have come to agree with the Left about the occupation and the Right about the peace process. Thus the dilemma is, the Israelis cannot occupy and cannot make peace. So what does Said suggest? Arafat is finished, he says; but do we have any alternative from keeping up the current situation until he dies? The situation could change radically if the Palestinians came under new management. The Israelis will be afraid to change radically while the Palestinians are led by terrorists.
