Military Intelligence points finger at Arafat

[NewsGuy]

From Haaretz:

After Major General Amos Malka, Director of Military Intelligence, finished his address to a gathering held in honor of Haim Bar-Lev at Glilot on Wednesday, someone in the audience posed a tough question about the IDF's perception of the enemy. "For close to an hour we've heard you speak about the situation in the Palestinian arena," the man said. "In actual fact, you've spoken about just one man: Yasser Arafat. Does everything you've said lead us toward the conclusion that Israel should act to oust him?"

Malka, a highly seasoned intelligence chief, was far too experienced and polished to fall into that trap. His answer was vague and evasive. It betrayed nothing.

Hopefully, this is a precursor to the removal of Arafat and the end of the PA.

Many Israeli commentators think theat recent remarks like this, incluging Defense minister ben Eliezer's similar statements.

Maybe there is a solution underway.

So long as the CIA is still talking to the sides, Arafat wil not be removed.

Once the talks break down (and I'm sure they will), then all bets are off.

I don't understand why everyone is surprised at the news Arafat has been directing a terror campaign against Israel. But what is Israel going to do about it!

There is much denial regarding Arafat's role in terror: especially in the western press, and governments, Canada's being one. This 'Nobel Peace Prize' recipient (toss your cookies on that one)
has bamboozled the left-wing darlings, who are so naive and/or ignorant to know or admit the facts.
As long as Arafat walks the face of this earth, terrorism will have no end. Even with his eventual eradication from the scene, I am certain there is a clone waiting to crawl from under a rock!
