Hdl. You said...." y did the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the Euros and the US give billions to arafat? y do palestinians, arabs and world support arafat?"..... IMO because they hate the Jews more than they dislike the islam muslom terrorists.

I don't think it's just because they hate Jews. Israel, Jews and the US are convenient "infidels," that keep the OILogarchs and tyrants in power. If these scapegoats were not in existence, others would be invented. Throughout history, tyrants are motivated by money and power. They use religion or other tools to invent scapegoats, such that the people will focus on the infidel rather than the leaders' corruption. It's all about the money and power from the sheiks to the PLO and Hamas. As the Arafat intrigue is unwound, the billions that could have been used to build a nation may be discovered and used for good.
