But I think we should go after the big fish first. Put another way, Arafat is political, hamas is military. Israel Kills Head of Hamas Military Wing - Hamas story.news.yahoo.com

Put another way, Arafat is political, hamas is military. Even this distinction is untrue. The US wasted the last two years trying to reign in Arafat; he has proved un-reign-in-able. He has openly made alliance with the radical Arab faction, which now includes Hizbullah, Syria, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Europe, concerned to appease this faction, still calls him "legitimate" and overlooks hard evidence of his open complicity in terror. The sheer amount of money that Arafat still gets qualifies him as a big fish. Hizbullah is also a big fish. Hamas is relatively much smaller.
