Lula da Silva honors terrorists - so much for Brazilians and their leaders Da Silva: Tear down W. Bank fence By ASSOCIATED PRESS 17/03/2010 14:30 Brazil's president places wreath on Arafat's tomb, despite Israeli protest. After visiting the grave of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Ramallah on Wednesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the security barrier must come down. Speaking at a joint press conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Da Silva added that Brazil would continue to support the Palestinians so that their dream of establishing an independent, secure state will come true. Earlier, the Brazilian president placed a wreath on Arafat's tomb, despite criticism from Israel. The Brazilian leader has said he would like to play a bigger role in Mideast diplomacy. He is visiting Israel and the Palestinian territories this week. On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he boycotted meetings with Da Silva because the Brazilian leader did not visit the grave of Zionism's founder Theodor Herzl. Da Silva's office said no such visit had ever been planned. There was no immediate Israeli reaction to Da Silva's visit to Arafat's grave. CIA report quoted in a telegram Secretary of State William Rogers to selected embassies that had escaped the purge. It said in part, "No significant distinction now can be made between BSO (Black September) and Fatah...Fatah leader Yasir Arafat has now been described in recent intelligence reports as having given approval to the Khartoum operation prior to its inception." He was a terrorist leader then, and the suicide bombings show that he is one today. For thirty years the U.S. government has known that Yasser Arafat was personally directly responsible for the cowardly murder of our ambassador to Sudan, a senior U.S. diplomat, and a Belgian diplomat.
