The US will not guarantee Arafat's safety

Maariv International (Israeli paper) is posting a story that Arafat and his people are worried that Israel may target him for assassination because he has been a willing sponsor of the suicide bombers in Israel. Arafat's people have approached the US and requested they tell Israel to not target Arafat.

The irony here is incredible. Those who are calling for martyrs to attack Israel and blow up civilians are afraid to join them in the paradise they promise the bombers. Maybe they don't believe their own propaganda??? After all, if they die a martyrs death, they will be rewarded, so they should welcome being successfully targeted by Israel.

Instead of doing the one thing that would preserve Arafat's life, make peace and stop the terror, Arafat's people run to the US and ask them to guarantee his safety. The US response (IMHO) should be why would it be in our interest, but we will promise to send flowers when Israel decides to settle with him. Terror begets terror, what Arafat sows so shall he reap.
