Blame Israel? Not According To A Son Of Hamas...
" In July 25, 2000, Yasser Arafat was offered 90% of the West Bank, the entire Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem as the Capital of a new Palestinian State, but he turned it down." Why? "Arafat had become extraordinarily wealthy as an International symbol of victim-hood and he wasn't about to surrender that status and take responsibility of actually building a functioning society. Arafat's rejection constituted a historic catastrophe for his people. Let him be remember as a reverse Robin Hood; who plundered the poor and made himself rich. As a cheap ham who bought his place in history. He had been handed the keys to the Middle East with real nationhood for the Palestinian people - and he had thrown it away!" (C) Mosab Hassan Yousef
