No Hal, but instead things like demanding that Arafat should go and thereby thumbing their noses at the choice of the Palestenian people. After all, it is these same Palestenian folks who achieved what Israel couldn't achieve: that is to tell Arafat what to do or else to step aside.

All this while we have had this grand propaganda in the press of how autocratic PLO was, how corrupt they were etc. Hal, I guess we have not known of the system of politics where when Arafat stood up to address the Palestenian assembly, a majority of the assembly members just sat quietly with their heads down. A fine display of disagreement with a man they revere a lot but who has failed to deliver. And Arafat got the message from his people. And it seems he is going to carry out the wishes of his people.

Now you can continue to revel in the domain of historical events with comments such as yours. If you do so for long, I am afraid that you will be left behind in a turmoil of hatred and disappointment.
