the Arabs are humiliated, so we gotta be nice to them The line I loved was this one. One reason Yasir Arafat rejected the Clinton plan for a Palestinian state was that he and many followers didn't want a state handed to them by the U.S. or Israel. That would be "humiliating." They wanted to win it in blood and fire. Hezbollah TV had bombarded Palestinians with stories of how the Lebanese drove the Israelis out. Palestinian militants wanted the "dignity" of doing the same. Gee, let's let them beat the Israelis, and then they will feel good about the State we will hand them.
