<< A 10-year-old boy lying dead in the street, his arm blown off and a great hole in his side. >> Just think. If Arafat had accepted the Israel offer of billions of dollars in aid, trade, a Palestinian state, a capital in East Jerusalem and peace, this wouldn't have happened. This 10 year old boy would be living in a better home instead of a slum. He would be smiling and looking forward to the future. He might be playing with his new Jewish friends, who he met in a cultural exchange program with Israel. Who knows what he would do with his life. Become a doctor? A teacher? A scientist? A Palestinian congressman within the Palestinian State? But, alas, Arafat preferred to murder Israelis and have Palestinians killed, rather than to make peace. What would have been this 10-year-old boy's future if he had lived? Perhaps a homicide bomber? Perhaps he would take part in a plane hijacking into an American city, sometime in the future? These are the visions and dreams of Arafat. Arafat is happy now. He is able to use the death of a 10-year-old boy for propaganda. Arafat will sleep well tonight.
