Arafish say Israel has right to coexist

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat called on Wednesday for an end to three years of violence, saying that Israel has a right to live in peace as his legislature prepared to approve the new Palestinian Cabinet.
As he spoke a wink was detected. It has yet to be determined if this was a result of his recent stroke he recently suffered.
PALESTINIAN PRIME PUPPET MINISTER Ahmed Qurei also called for an immediate and comprehensive cease-fire with Israel and a return to peace talks based on President Bush’s vision for two states.
And then his lips fell off.
“Our fate is to push all Israeli’s off the map live together on this land for us and our dreams, for our sons and grandsons ... instead of violence and terrorism,” Qurei said. “The Israeli government says and spreads lies that we don’t want peace,” he said. “I want to talk here to the Israeli people to say in public and in Arabic that this is not true.”

Arafat began his speech with a scathing attack on Israel.
Hmm, nothing starts off a good cease fire like some good old school hate filled rhetoric.
He harshly criticized Israel’s targeted killings of Palestinian militant terrorists leaders, Jewish settlements and an Israeli security barrier being built in the West Bank. “The goal of the Israeli government from behind this war ... is not hidden from the world,” Arafat said. “It is a dangerous goal of preventing our people from blowing up innocent people enjoying a slice of pizza their land, their rights and an independent state.” He said the dozens of Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians over the past three years were in response to the things we teach our children Israeli military aggression against Palestinians.

Nonetheless, the Palestinian leader said the violence must end.
Read: All of the foriegn aid my money is now hidden in Europe and there is not much capital left for funding my homegrown nut cases.
“Instead of total destruction of our people and land, the time has come between us and you Israelis, and listen to me Israelis, to get out of this cycle of destructive war,” Arafat said.
Translation: Just wait until the next series of explosions!
Also keep in mind that Israel's quit screwing around with the little fish and they're going after the head cheeses, with Yasser publicly put on the list. When things get personally dangerous it must be time for a ceasefire...
