A Western-educated Palestinian political science professor who was jailed several times by the Palestinian Authority after accusing it of corruption announced he would challenge Arafat for the presidency if elections were called. Abdel al-Sattar Qassem, 53, teaches at A-Najah University, a stronghold of the militant Hamas group in the West Bank city of Nablus, and has been critical of the interim peace deals Arafat reached with Israel. "I don't consider any peace accord has a value or meaning if it does not have in its text the return of the Palestinian refugees to their houses and properties, because return is a universal principle and a natural right," he told Reuters. reuters.com PS I think the fellow is pretty much in agreement with Netaniahu's camp, until refugees issue (droped) settled, peace talks have no meaning

Hanan Ashrawi is a disaster- she is an apologist for suicide bombings, arafat. the media doesn't take issue with her outrageous positions. the natural border is the jordan river. palestinians must be removed from the west bank. they are jew-haters. they have been raised and indoctrinated and taught this madness too long. arafat, saudis and u n inter alia are to blame.
