1. THE END OF 'ARAFAT'
Wall Street Journal Editorial - September 17, 2003=20
Even if he lives, the idea of him must die.=20
Reflecting the views of Israel's Cabinet, Vice Prime Minister Ehud =
Olmert said publicly over the weekend that "killing" Yasser Arafat was =
"one of the options." Secretary of State Colin Powell of course had to =
say that exiling or executing Arafat would incite Arab rage, that it =
would be most unhelpful to the peace process, etc., etc.=20
The truth is that Yasser Arafat's moment in history has ended. The =
world would do well to think hard about how it came to pass, after so =
many years and so much talk and blood, that the era of Arafat arrived at =
this endpoint--with Israel saying that it may be worth the trouble =
simply to kill him. How far we've come from the Rose Garden in 1993.=20
It is a fine irony that Mr. Powell spoke of the need to soldier on =
with Yasser Arafat while the Secretary himself was standing in Baghdad =
for the first time. Mr. Powell is in Baghdad because President Bush =
concluded after September 11, and after the political failure of the =
first Gulf War, that the years of Western self-delusion about the nature =
of global terror must be brought to an end. Similarly, the delusions =
about Arafat also must now end.=20
"Arafat" should enter history not merely as the name of one =
autocratic man, but as the name we assign to an entire Western =
phenomenon of false thinking. "Arafat," we now see, has come to =
represent the act of self-delusion on a massive, international scale. =
"Arafat" is about refusing to believe that an adversary is simply =
irredeemable. Most importantly at this particular moment, "Arafat" is =
about allowing barbarism, or its techniques, to challenge the political =
tenets of civilized life.=20
For years the Western nations that emerged from World War II and =
the Cold War have been playing with fire by pretending that their world =
and the alternative world of "Arafat" could somehow coexist. More than =
anything, this impossible notion reflected political and moral fatigue. =
Thus in the 1990s, the world came very close to letting "Arafat," this =
time in the person of Slobodan Milosevic, achieve its logical end on =
European soil, again. But the United States intervened and Milosevic is =
on trial for crimes against civilized humanity. George W. Bush's =
decision to go to war against the regime of Saddam Hussein was the =
opposite of "Arafat" thinking; it was a decision to refute "Arafat."=20
If you look at the Nobel Prizes' own biography of Yasser Arafat, =
you find this remarkable sentence toward the end: "Like other Arab =
regimes in the area, however, Arafat's governing style tended to be more =
dictatorial than democratic." That is to say, Arafat by his own choice =
of governance--dictatorship over democracy--bears individual =
responsibility for the legacy he leaves.=20
That legacy includes: the contemporary crime of hijacking and =
blowing up civilian-filled airliners; the attempted destabilization of =
Jordan and Israel and the successful destruction of Lebanon as a =
formerly sovereign nation; and decades of violated international =
agreements, culminating in the collapse of Oslo. Last year, in a perfect =
storm of bad faith, Arafat was caught paying for the shipment of arms =
from Iran to the Palestinian territories aboard the Karine A.=20
Across these years, the West, mainly the European nations, =
accomplished the post-World War II feat of pretending that crime is not =
crime, so long as the motives and politics for the crimes are moralized. =
The U.S. and Israel participated as well in the pretense, bringing =
Arafat out of exile in Tunis. The world has learned since that this =
apologetics (and much direct funding) has made possible any crime, =
culminating in the anti-moral act known as suicide bombers. Arafat most =
recently threw over Mahmoud Abbas, and the fatigued West barely sighed =
in complaint.=20
This past September 3, in an article published in the Palestinian =
daily newspaper Al-Ayyam, the Palestinian writer Tawfiq Abu Bakr wrote: =
"It is difficult to find a greater and more deeply rooted culture of =
self-deception than that in our Arab and Palestinian arena." But we in =
the West fomented that culture of self-deception, by perpetuating the =
conceit that Yasser Arafat--"Arafat"--was the singular vessel of peace =
for the Palestinians. He manifestly is not.=20
The Israelis are in the best position to know what to do at this =
point, though no option--seclusion, exile, trial or killing him--is =
particularly attractive. But Israel has to live (or die) with Arafat. =
The U.S. for its part, rather than sustain the Arafat conceit as it is =
doing now, should say it is no longer going to be associated with Arafat =
and what he stands for. As for the Palestinians and Arabs, the President =
of the United States has said many times that he supports a Palestinian =
state. Now they too have to decide whether the moment has arrived to get =
past "Arafat."=20
For those who will scream that this is more "unilateralism," we =
would say that for some 30 years there were crucial breakpoints, most =
recently the Oslo concessions and the Abbas opening, where credible =
pressure on Arafat from important players in the West and Middle East =
might have avoided arriving at where we are now. It never came. Not =
once.=20
Where Yasser Arafat spends the rest of his life is not important. =
What matters is for the world to recognize that it is time to get rid of =
"Arafat."=20

2. END OF THE ROAD MAP. . .
And the beginning of a new Israeli strategy.
by Tom Rose - Weekly Standard September 22 issue=20
The suicide bombing that killed 22 people including 6 small =
children in Jerusalem on August 19 ended the so-called "hudna" =
(cease-fire) between competing Palestinian terror groups and Israel. It =
also killed any pretense of faith in the "road map." The oversold peace =
plan collapsed upon and crushed its own creation, the young government =
of Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas. Controlling only 3 of =
Yasser Arafat's 12 "security" organizations, Abbas could not hope to =
meet Israeli and American demands for a crackdown on terrorists after =
the bus bombing, even had he wanted to.=20
When Arafat loyalists used Arafat-controlled Palestinian =
television and radio to publicly threaten Abbas with death if he tried =
to crack down, Abbas got the message and resigned. In the wake of his =
departure and the resumption of terror in the streets of Jerusalem and =
Tel Aviv, Israelis too seemed to acknowledge that they had reached the =
end of their road. They were left with no choice but to rid themselves =
and the region of the menace of Yasser Arafat once and for all.=20
In contrast to the ceremonial installation of Abbas as the first =
Palestinian prime minister, Arafat's naming of his crony Ahmed Qurei to =
succeed Abbas was dismissed in Jerusalem. Israeli defense minister Shaul =
Mofaz, Sharon's most influential and popular minister, called Qurei a =
lackey whose sole purpose was to find a way to preempt his boss's =
expulsion.=20
Qurei quickly announced the formation of a "security government" =
whose purpose will be to "confront security threats and enforce the rule =
of law in Palestinian Authority areas." But unlike previous moves =
designed to generate enough international pressure to preempt Israeli =
action, Qurei's story had no takers. Not even the Europeans seemed ready =
to lend assistance.=20
The Israeli Security Cabinet's statement of September 11 that it =
had decided in principle to "remove" Arafat was the final acknowledgment =
that it was no longer possible to ignore the elephant in the living =
room. Amid all the variables that have attended this murderous conflict, =
Arafat is the one outstanding constant. For three years, Israelis tried =
everything short of facing the Arafat question head on. Nothing worked. =
The Mitchell Plan, the Tenet Plan, the Seven Quiet Days, the Zinni =
Missions, Bethlehem First, the Wolf's Lair, and finally the road map: =
all failures. Now, 800 dead Israelis later--15 last week alone--Israelis =
have concluded that it is more dangerous to host Arafat than to =
eliminate him.=20
As if waking from a national coma, Israelis suddenly realized that =
one man was protecting the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist =
organizations from dismantlement, and he was Arafat. The one man =
preventing the creation of a consolidated security service capable of =
fighting terror was Arafat. Arafat was working to kill the road map so =
that its goal of establishing a Palestinian state at peace with Israel =
could never be realized. Even the most dovish Israelis no longer seem =
interested in denying the obvious: It isn't Israel that is preventing =
the establishment of a Palestinian state. It's Arafat, whose goal is not =
a Palestine next to Israel, but rather Israel itself. A Palestinian =
state at peace with Israel is a greater threat to Arafat than it is to =
Israel. Understanding that makes it easy to see why, given the choice =
between the road map and Hamas, Arafat chose Hamas. They share the same =
goal: the destruction of Israel.=20
Ironically, those who thought supporting Arafat was synonymous =
with supporting a Palestinian state are the very ones who have helped =
prevent it. Arafat's supporters at the U.N. and in the E.U. did not =
remove obstacles to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, they =
reinforced them. By wedding themselves to Arafat, his international =
allies allowed the Palestinian dictator to loot and plunder his people. =
Since Israel brought Arafat back to the West Bank in 1994 as part of the =
Oslo Accords, Palestinian GDP has declined 70 percent. Think of it: =
two-thirds of the collective national Palestinian wealth destroyed. =
During that same period, despite the high-tech bust and the terror war =
waged against it, Israel's GDP doubled.=20
An option dismissed in August as the fanciful concoction of an =
unstable fringe became state policy in September. The Israeli mood was =
best expressed by a middle-aged woman interviewed in a supermarket who =
said matter-of-factly that Israel was like the alcoholic no longer able =
to deny his disease. There are but two choices left: either to conquer =
the disease or to let it conquer you.=20
The signals from Washington were mixed. State Department spokesman =
Richard Boucher, though he called the potential expulsion of Arafat "not =
helpful," also noted: "We were making progress without dealing with =
Arafat. When we were dealing with Arafat, we weren't making progress. =
That is the objective fact. . . . We had a failed leadership that wasn't =
leading us anywhere. That's been tried. Been there, done that. Road =
don't lead nowhere."=20
With Saddam gone, a U.S. administration increasingly disgusted =
with Arafat, and Europeans demonstrating growing impatience with the =
whole affair, the international climate for Arafat's expulsion, while =
not risk-free, is more amenable than it has been.=20
Neither the road map's collapse nor Israel's looming "removal" of =
Arafat prompted Morocco or Jordan to alter or condition its decision to =
reestablish relations with Israel, broken off at the start of Arafat's =
terror war. Nor did it prevent Prime Minister Sharon from celebrating =
the tenth anniversary of an extraordinarily significant relationship =
that Bombay and Jerusalem were calling the "Indo-Israeli Alliance" =
during his high-profile state visit to India. The growth increment alone =
in this year's trade between Israel and India will be greater than the =
entire GDP of the Palestinian Authority.=20
But Arafat has not yet been completely abandoned. He still has the =
Saudis. Last week Israeli intelligence revealed that Saudi Arabia has =
forward-deployed its two most sophisticated battle-ready squadrons of =
F-15s to the secret Tabuq airfield in the northwest corner of the =
kingdom, just 90 miles from Israel. Israel warned Saudi Arabia it was =
fully prepared to defend itself against any aggressor. Compounding the =
news of the forward deployments, U.S. investigators claim to have =
confirmed Israeli intelligence about an advanced al Qaeda plot to use =
those very bases to stage 9/11-style terror attacks against up to five =
Tel Aviv skyscrapers.=20
Arguments that exile would only give Arafat a bigger stage were =
drowned out by reminders that Arafat's last exile, between 1982 and =
1993, saw the emergence of an alternative Palestinian leadership. It =
wasn't the world stage that made Arafat globally relevant, it was =
Israel. Opponents used to argue that Arafat only needs a cell phone to =
stay in control of "his people." Advocates of expulsion say that =
depriving Arafat of physical centrality deprives him of the ability to =
lead, which in turn will force the creation of a new Palestinian =
leadership.=20
Whether this new leadership will be better or worse than the =
malignant one that is about to be removed is a question Israelis and =
Palestinians will soon see answered. One way or another.=20

3. THE INDISPENSABLE ARAFAT
by P. David Hornik - IsraelNationalNews.com - September 19, 2003=20
In its official statement about its vague decision to =93remove=94 =
Yasser Arafat, the Israeli government referred to him as a political =
problem, an =93obstacle=94 to peace, and did not emphasize the thousand =
dead Israelis, the thousands of bereaved, maimed and traumatized ones. =
Jerusalem apparently did not think mentioning the latter aspect would =
impress anyone much, whereas the notion of Arafat as a diplomatic snag =
might at least have some exculpatory value for the dark measures Israel =
was hinting at.=20
But =93the world=94 jumped to Arafat=92s defense anyway. Everyone =
=97 the Arabs, the Europeans, the U.S., the Israeli Labor Party =97 =
concurred that there is something necessary and desirable about having =
Arafat sitting and functioning in his compound a few miles north of =
Jerusalem, and that anything done to disrupt that state of affairs would =
be both unwise and reprehensible.=20
It=92s nothing new. Someday historians will look back at our era =
and wonder how this baleful figure was able to pursue a career for four =
decades as an arch-terrorist, dictator, liar and thief without ever =
being stopped or punished. The reason, they may discover, is that he =
meant too many things to too many people, that he fulfilled certain =
needs in the =93civilized=94 world that made his presence too precious =
to dispense with.=20
For Europe, the place where he is most genuinely (as opposed to =
the Arab world) popular, Arafat=92s rise to prominence in the early =
1970s relieved the discomfort of a quarter-century in which Europeans =
felt they had to behave well toward Jews and recognize their right to =
life. This was, after all, a period in which Britain and France joined =
Israel in a military campaign against Egypt, and France for a time was =
Israel=92s main ally and military supplier =97 things that would be =
unthinkable today. But then, in the early 1970s, came Arafat with his =
headdress, stubble and gun, proclaiming that if one was a victim of =
Jews, then it was right to kill them. He quickly became the toast of =
Europe. Jew-murder was no longer a base act perpetrated by brownshirts, =
fascists; it was now a noble, revolutionary deed performed by the =
downtrodden and desperate. One could now fete and honor a Jew-murderer =
and at the same time feel virtuous, a friend of the oppressed. No wonder =
most of Western Europe hasn=92t gotten over its fondness or, at best, =
ambivalence toward Arafat to this day, as dignitaries continue to go on =
pilgrimage to his Ramallah compound and still proclaim him a requirement =
of peace. No amount of documentary evidence of Arafat=92s responsibility =
for the terror seems to impress such people, and why should it? The =
whole point in the first place was that Arafat redeemed Jew-killing and =
made it admirable again.=20
For the Left in general, Arafat provided a vivid avatar of the =
revolutionary hero in a time when the species was getting scarce. Joe =
was gone and the Soviet Union had lost most of its chic; Ho, too, was =
gone, and it was hard to work up much enthusiasm for his successors in =
liberated South Vietnam; Mao died and his luster quickly dimmed. But =
Castro was still there =97 and Arafat. Here was a self-declared leader =
of a dark-skinned, Third World people that laid claim to being expelled, =
oppressed and poverty-stricken all at once =97 and the victims of a =
Jewish colonial outpost backed up by the Great Satan himself! Marx must =
have held wild parties in his grave. And the more Arafat sent his =
righteous minions to shoot, stab, bomb, and generally butcher the =
colonialist-capitalist usurpers of his land, the more he became the =
darling of the international Left, which to this day idolizes him and =
sends human shields to defend his forces against the =91evil =
depredations=92 of the Israeli army.=20
For U.S. administrations, Arafat gradually became an ideal means =
of propitiating the Arab world by demonstrating evenhandedness and =
concern for the =93plight of the Palestinians.=94 It was George Shultz, =
known as a principled conservative, who formally gave U.S. recognition =
to Arafat and his PLO in December 1988 as one of his last acts as =
secretary of state. Although the PLO briefly fell from grace again after =
an abortive attempt at slaughtering Israelis on a Tel Aviv beach in May =
1990, by the time of the Clinton administration, Arafat was back in full =
glory, the most frequently honored guest of the White House. Large =
numbers of Israelis and, for that matter, Palestinians had to die, =
Palestinian society had to be thrown into dire poverty, billions of =
dollars in aid had to be embezzled, and a whole slew of diplomatic =
initiatives had to be scuttled before President George W. Bush finally =
distanced the U.S. from Arafat =97 but not from the PLO =97 in 2002.=20
But the group that was salvaged by Arafat probably more than any =
other was the Israeli Labor Party. After 1977, when conservative prime =
ministers began winning Israeli elections, Labor faced a dilemma like =
those that beset the left wing in all democratic countries: how does one =
relate to a society in which one=92s status as the enlightened elite is =
no longer automatically recognized, in which leaders who openly voice =
nationalistic and even religious themes get elected instead, in which =
people whom one regards as the essence of vulgarity now run the country =
and are admired by masses of people like them? One well-known solution =
is to turn the perceptions of those unwashed masses and their leaders on =
their heads, to step further ahead of the pack, distinguish oneself more =
clearly, and proclaim that the country=92s enemies are actually friends =
and it is the country=92s own loathsome leaders who are the cause of war =
and suffering. For Labor, Arafat and the PLO were waiting and beckoning, =
the ideal egress from the dilemma. Today, in Israel, you can=92t go to =
the grocery store or the shopping mall without literally fearing for =
your life =97 or, for that matter, send your kids to the grocery store =
or the shopping mall without fearing for their lives =97 and the one =
person basically responsible for it is Yasser Arafat. Yet, when an =
Israeli government makes vague noises about finally doing something to =
end, or reduce, the Arafat menace, Labor lines up behind him to a man.=20
As I write this in Jerusalem, the terror-master Yasser Arafat =
still sits a few miles north of me in his compound, still waging his =
terror war, his life and freedom of action still considered sacred by =
world opinion. I think ahead to next year=92s Holocaust Day in April. =
What will Arafat=92s fate be by then =97 still the Ramallah terror =
master? Wining and dining in Paris and Berlin? Standing trial in =
Jerusalem? Dead? In a sense, it won=92t matter; morally speaking, it =
will be too late.=20
Again, on that Holocaust Day, we Israelis will scare our =
children in their classrooms with horrific pictures and stories, teach =
them that the mass murder of Jews, and of human beings generally, is a =
terrible and unpardonable crime. As for the story of Arafat, that will =
be a tougher one to tell them. I can think of a title: Exposed: The =
Western World=92s Weakness, Cowardice, and Moral Bankruptcy; or, Why =
Your Lives Were in Danger for Ten Years and Nobody Did Anything About =
It.

4. THE LAND OF DELUSION
By Caroline Glick - Jerusalem Post - September 19, 2003=20
This coming Sunday, Israel's Who's Who will be joined by the rich =
and famous from around the world at the Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv to =
celebrate Shimon Peres's 80th birthday. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan =
is scheduled to attend the festival, as is former US president Bill =
Clinton. Mikhail Gorbachev and Nelson Mandela are also set to be there.=20
More than providing the public with yet another display of Peres's =
narcissism, the gala event will show the yawning gap between the world =
we occupy and the world occupied by Peres and his friends and =
supporters. In the world we live in, every promise of peace and a New =
Middle East has not only been broken, but has blown up in our faces. In =
the world we live in, the notion that it is either possible or desirable =
to negotiate a peace deal with the PLO has been rent asunder.=20
But in the Land of Peres, it is reality, not Peres, that is wrong. =
It is reality that is doomed to be remembered in history as a failure. =
It is reality that is to be condemned as not merely inconvenient but as =
impossible to countenance.=20
And so it is that 10 years after that first handshake on the lawn =
of the White House Rose Garden, Peres defends Yasser Arafat and condemns =
Israel. In a recent television interview with Fareed Zakaria on MSNBC, =
the erstwhile foreign minister held up Arafat as a paragon for combating =
Hamas in 1996, after 60 Israelis were blown to bits in eight days of =
carnage.=20
When Zakaria asked him why Arafat stopped combating Hamas, Peres =
replied that it was the fault of his successor, Binyamin Netanyahu. =
Netanyahu, according to Peres, was to blame for Arafat not combating =
Hamas because Netanyahu was not forthcoming enough in negotiations with =
Peres's Nobel co-laureate.=20
Never mind that Peres's entire claim that Arafat fought Hamas is a =
lie. Arafat, ahead of the 1996 general elections in Israel, rounded up, =
as he was wont to do, several hundred "usual suspects." Less than a week =
later, and before the elections had taken place, he had already released =
more than a hundred of them. At the same time, Muhammad Dahlan, then =
head of his Preventive Security Service in the Gaza Strip, was actively =
hiding Hamas terror chief Muhammad Deif, who had orchestrated the =
attacks. And Peres knew this.=20
The upshot of all that Peres has told us for the past decade is =
that he cannot be held responsible for the consequences of his =
strategies. He must only be congratulated for the hope he bestowed on us =
all.=20
And herein lays the entire problem not just with Peres but with =
all his honored guests and supporters. While some continue to blame =
Israel for the Palestinian war being fought against the state, others =
claim to be more "pragmatic." These people are willing to allow that =
Arafat is not a partner in peace, but still protest that Israel must =
move ahead with the non-existent peace process, "along the lines of the =
Camp David proposals."=20
And so it is that former US Middle East mediator Dennis Ross came =
to write an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal this week protesting the =
government's decision to "remove" Arafat. Ross, who was the only Oslo =
pusher to acknowledge that Arafat would never cut a peace deal with =
Israel, explained that if Israel were to expel Arafat from its =
heartland, it would have to be in the context of large Israeli =
concessions to the Palestinians.=20
Like Peres, Ross refuses to acknowledge reality. If Israel were to =
make concessions of any kind to the Palestinians as part of its move to =
expel, arrest, or kill Arafat, these concessions would only go to the =
unrepentant murderers who'd take his place. Surely Ross knows this. =
Surely Peres does, too. So the question must be asked. What is it that =
propels these urbane and cultivated men to such conclusions?=20
The answer was given three weeks ago by no less of an authority =
than Ian Buruma, in no less a venue than The New York Times. There, in =
an article titled "How to talk about Israel," Buruma explained, "The =
Palestinian cause has become the universal litmus test of liberal =
credentials." And so it is. In the wreckage of Oslo it is important to =
note who its greatest beneficiaries were. The Israelis? Our lives have =
become a crapshoot. The Palestinians? Their standard of living was =
decimated by Arafat's kleptocracy, while their children were brainwashed =
by its jihadist media.=20
No. The real beneficiaries of the Oslo process were people on the =
political Left like Peres and Ross and Annan and Clinton and their =
peace-activist friends. At Oslo, where Yasser Arafat and his PLO were =
crowned in glory and legitimacy, these men finally found a way to be =
pro-PLO and "pro-Israel."=20
As long as Israel had a government that favored Arafat and Oslo, =
they could ignore the fact that Arafat's regime was among the greatest =
human-rights abusers in the world. They could, as the UN did this week, =
condemn every move that Israel takes to defend itself against =
aggression, never condemn the massacre of Israeli civilians, and still =
say they were friends of Israel because they believed in peace. They =
could equate Zionism with racism, as Mandela has, and pretend that they =
actually cared about the human rights of Jews because they support Oslo. =
They could keep their place on the liberal A-list without ever having to =
come to terms with the fact that what they claimed to be supporting and =
what they actually were advocating were mutually exclusive.=20
But now that is over. Oslo is dead. The overwhelming majority of =
Israelis want Arafat to disappear and do not believe that peace can be =
achieved in the foreseeable future. The PA stands revealed as the =
terrorist regime it has been since its inception.=20
Sides must be chosen. Some leftists, like Meron Benvenisti and Uri =
Avnery, have already done so. Benvenisti advocates the destruction of =
the Jewish state, and Avnery acts as a human shield for Arafat.=20
In America, historian of Zionism Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, like =
philanthropists Edgar Bronfman and Marvin Lender, has also chosen sides =
by appealing to President George W. Bush to put sanctions on Israel and =
to view Israel and the PA as equivalents. Thus do they remain acceptable =
to their liberal friends, rather than true to genuinely liberal values.=20
Then again, at least they've "shown their cards" as Bush might =
say. Not so men like Peres and Ross, who continue to view reality as =
just another option, and choose self-delusion over the plain meaning of =
facts.=20
No doubt many on the Left are emotionally, politically, and =
financially invested in the false assumptions of Oslo. And yet the time =
has come to cut their losses. If the values they espouse are more =
important to them than the company they keep, they will side with =
reality. If, on the other hand, hanging with the A-list is what really =
motivates them, at least they'll have a great party to go to. When it's =
Happy Hour in the Land of Delusion, the drinks are free.=20

5. QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
'MARTYR' MADNESS=20
By ARNOLD AHLERT - New York Post - September 19, 2003=20
"Is there anyone in Palestine who does not dream of martyrdom?"
- Yasser Arafat, in an interview at his partly demolished =
Ramallah, compound, Sept. 17=20
DOES this statement reflect the mindset of a "leader" leading =
his people toward peace?=20
Does it offer food for second thought among the moral relativist =
intellectuals of Europe and America? Is the Nobel Committee who awarded =
Yasser Arafat its Peace Prize the slightest bit embarrassed?=20
Will Palestinian parents recoil in disgust at the thought of =
raising their children to be suicidal cannon fodder? Will they ever turn =
away from a man who continues to embrace ideas that guarantee =
Palestinians a future filled with poverty, hopelessness and despair?=20
Martyrdom is not a dream. It is the ultimate expression of =
impotence. It is a badge of honor among cowards who kill =
indiscriminately and without remorse. It is the bastardization of a =
noble religion with craven politics and a lust for power at any cost.=20
While Yasser Arafat leads his people over the cliff, his wife =
and daughter are living safely in France. Evidently "dreams of =
martyrdom" are not for everyone.=20

<P>Reflecting the views of Israel's Cabinet, Vice Prime Minister =
Ehud=20
Olmert said publicly over the weekend that "killing" Yasser Arafat =
was=20
"one of the options." Secretary of State Colin Powell of course =
had to say=20
that exiling or executing Arafat would incite Arab rage, that it =
would be=20
most unhelpful to the peace process, etc., etc.=20
<P>The truth is that Yasser Arafat's moment in history has ended. =
The=20
world would do well to think hard about how it came to pass, after =
so many=20
years and so much talk and blood, that the era of Arafat arrived =
at this=20
endpoint--with Israel saying that it may be worth the trouble =
simply to=20
kill him. How far we've come from the Rose Garden in 1993.=20
<P>It is a fine irony that Mr. Powell spoke of the need to soldier =
on with=20
Yasser Arafat while the Secretary himself was standing in Baghdad =
for the=20
first time. Mr. Powell is in Baghdad because President Bush =
concluded=20
after September 11, and after the political failure of the first =
Gulf War,=20
that the years of Western self-delusion about the nature of global =
terror=20
must be brought to an end. Similarly, the delusions about Arafat =
also must=20
now end.=20
<P>"Arafat" should enter history not merely as the name of one =
autocratic=20
man, but as the name we assign to an entire Western phenomenon of =
false=20
thinking. "Arafat," we now see, has come to represent the act of=20
self-delusion on a massive, international scale. "Arafat" is about =
refusing to believe that an adversary is simply irredeemable. Most =
importantly at this particular moment, "Arafat" is about allowing=20
barbarism, or its techniques, to challenge the political tenets of =
civilized life.=20
<P>For years the Western nations that emerged from World War II =
and the=20
Cold War have been playing with fire by pretending that their =
world and=20
the alternative world of "Arafat" could somehow coexist. More than =
anything, this impossible notion reflected political and moral =
fatigue.=20
Thus in the 1990s, the world came very close to letting "Arafat," =
this=20
time in the person of Slobodan Milosevic, achieve its logical end =
on=20
European soil, again. But the United States intervened and =
Milosevic is on=20
trial for crimes against civilized humanity. George W. Bush's =
decision to=20
go to war against the regime of Saddam Hussein was the opposite of =
"Arafat" thinking; it was a decision to refute "Arafat."=20
<P>If you look at the Nobel Prizes' own biography of Yasser =
Arafat, you=20
find this remarkable sentence toward the end: "Like other Arab =
regimes in=20
the area, however, Arafat's governing style tended to be more =
dictatorial=20
than democratic." That is to say, Arafat by his own choice of=20
governance--dictatorship over democracy--bears individual =
responsibility=20
for the legacy he leaves.=20
<P>That legacy includes: the contemporary crime of hijacking and =
blowing=20
up civilian-filled airliners; the attempted destabilization of =
Jordan and=20
Israel and the successful destruction of Lebanon as a formerly =
sovereign=20
nation; and decades of violated international agreements, =
culminating in=20
the collapse of Oslo. Last year, in a perfect storm of bad faith, =
Arafat=20
was caught paying for the shipment of arms from Iran to the =
Palestinian=20
territories aboard the Karine A.=20
<P>Across these years, the West, mainly the European nations, =
accomplished=20
the post-World War II feat of pretending that crime is not crime, =
so long=20
as the motives and politics for the crimes are moralized. The U.S. =
and=20
Israel participated as well in the pretense, bringing Arafat out =
of exile=20
in Tunis. The world has learned since that this apologetics (and =
much=20
direct funding) has made possible any crime, culminating in the =
anti-moral=20
act known as suicide bombers. Arafat most recently threw over =
Mahmoud=20
Abbas, and the fatigued West barely sighed in complaint.=20
<P>This past September 3, in an article published in the =
Palestinian daily=20
newspaper Al-Ayyam, the Palestinian writer Tawfiq Abu Bakr wrote: =
"It is=20
difficult to find a greater and more deeply rooted culture of=20
self-deception than that in our Arab and Palestinian arena." But =
we in the=20
West fomented that culture of self-deception, by perpetuating the =
conceit=20
that Yasser Arafat--"Arafat"--was the singular vessel of peace for =
the=20
Palestinians. He manifestly is not.=20
<P>The Israelis are in the best position to know what to do at =
this point,=20
though no option--seclusion, exile, trial or killing him--is =
particularly=20
attractive. But Israel has to live (or die) with Arafat. The U.S. =
for its=20
part, rather than sustain the Arafat conceit as it is doing now, =
should=20
say it is no longer going to be associated with Arafat and what he =
stands=20
for. As for the Palestinians and Arabs, the President of the =
United States=20
has said many times that he supports a Palestinian state. Now they =
too=20
have to decide whether the moment has arrived to get past =
"Arafat."=20
<P>For those who will scream that this is more "unilateralism," we =
would=20
say that for some 30 years there were crucial breakpoints, most =
recently=20
the Oslo concessions and the Abbas opening, where credible =
pressure on=20
Arafat from important players in the West and Middle East might =
have=20
avoided arriving at where we are now. It never came. Not once.=20

<P>Qurei quickly announced the formation of a "security =

<P>The Israeli Security Cabinet's statement of September 11 that =
it had=20

acknowledgment that=20
it was no longer possible to ignore the elephant in the living =
room. Amid=20
all the variables that have attended this murderous conflict, =
Arafat is=20
the one outstanding constant. For three years, Israelis tried =
everything=20

Bethlehem=20
First, the Wolf's Lair, and finally the road map: all failures. =
Now, 800=20
dead Israelis later--15 last week alone--Israelis have concluded =
that it=20
is more dangerous to host Arafat than to eliminate him.=20
<P>As if waking from a national coma, Israelis suddenly realized =
that one=20
man was protecting the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist =
organizations=20
from dismantlement, and he was Arafat. The one man preventing the =
creation=20
of a consolidated security service capable of fighting terror was =
Arafat.=20
Arafat was working to kill the road map so that its goal of =
establishing a=20

Even the=20
most dovish Israelis no longer seem interested in denying the =
obvious: It=20
isn't Israel that is preventing the establishment of a Palestinian =
state.=20
It's Arafat, whose goal is not a Palestine next to Israel, but =
rather=20
Israel itself. A Palestinian state at peace with Israel is a =
greater=20
threat to Arafat than it is to Israel. Understanding that makes it =
easy to=20
see why, given the choice between the road map and Hamas, Arafat =
chose=20
Hamas. They share the same goal: the destruction of Israel.=20
<P>Ironically, those who thought supporting Arafat was synonymous =
with=20
supporting a Palestinian state are the very ones who have helped =
prevent=20
it. Arafat's supporters at the U.N. and in the E.U. did not remove =
obstacles to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, they =
reinforced=20
them. By wedding themselves to Arafat, his international allies =
allowed=20
the Palestinian dictator to loot and plunder his people. Since =
Israel=20
brought Arafat back to the West Bank in 1994 as part of the Oslo =
Accords,=20
Palestinian GDP has declined 70 percent. Think of it: two-thirds =
of the=20
collective national Palestinian wealth destroyed. During that same =
period,=20
despite the high-tech bust and the terror war waged against it, =
Israel's=20
GDP doubled.=20
<P>An option dismissed in August as the fanciful concoction of an =
unstable=20
fringe became state policy in September. The Israeli mood was best =
expressed by a middle-aged woman interviewed in a supermarket who =
said=20
matter-of-factly that Israel was like the alcoholic no longer able =
to deny=20
his disease. There are but two choices left: either to conquer the =
disease=20
or to let it conquer you.=20
<P>The signals from Washington were mixed. State Department =
spokesman=20
Richard Boucher, though he called the potential expulsion of =
Arafat "not=20
helpful," also noted: "We were making progress without dealing =
with=20
Arafat. When we were dealing with Arafat, we weren't making =
progress. That=20
is the objective fact. . . . We had a failed leadership that =

<P>With Saddam gone, a U.S. administration increasingly disgusted =

Although the PLO briefly fell from grace again after an abortive =

was the Israeli Labor Party. After 1977, when conservative prime =

<P>And so it is that 10 years after that first handshake on the =

Israel. In a recent television interview with Fareed Zakaria on =
MSNBC, the=20

in 1996, after 60 Israelis were blown to bits in eight days of =
carnage.=20
<P>When Zakaria asked him why Arafat stopped combating Hamas, =
Peres=20
replied that it was the fault of his successor, Binyamin =
Netanyahu.=20
Netanyahu, according to Peres, was to blame for Arafat not =

because Netanyahu was not forthcoming enough in negotiations with =
Peres's=20
Nobel co-laureate.=20
<P>Never mind that Peres's entire claim that Arafat fought Hamas =
is a lie.=20
Arafat, ahead of the 1996 general elections in Israel, rounded up, =
as he=20
was wont to do, several hundred "usual suspects." Less than a week =
later,=20
and before the elections had taken place, he had already released =

Peres knew this.=20

that he=20

He must=20
only be congratulated for the hope he bestowed on us all.=20
<P>And herein lays the entire problem not just with Peres but with =
all his=20
honored guests and supporters. While some continue to blame Israel =
for the=20
Palestinian war being fought against the state, others claim to be =
more=20
"pragmatic." These people are willing to allow that Arafat is not =
a=20
partner in peace, but still protest that Israel must move ahead =
with the=20
non-existent peace process, "along the lines of the Camp David =
proposals."=20
<P>And so it is that former US Middle East mediator Dennis Ross =
came to=20
write an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal this week protesting the =
government's decision to "remove" Arafat. Ross, who was the only =
Oslo=20
pusher to acknowledge that Arafat would never cut a peace deal =
with=20
Israel, explained that if Israel were to expel Arafat from its =
heartland,=20
it would have to be in the context of large Israeli concessions to =
the=20
Palestinians.=20
<P>Like Peres, Ross refuses to acknowledge reality. If Israel were =
to make=20
concessions of any kind to the Palestinians as part of its move to =
expel,=20
arrest, or kill Arafat, these concessions would only go to the =
unrepentant=20
murderers who'd take his place. Surely Ross knows this. Surely =
Peres does,=20
too. So the question must be asked. What is it that propels these =
urbane=20
and cultivated men to such conclusions?=20
<P>The answer was given three weeks ago by no less of an authority =
than=20
Ian Buruma, in no less a venue than The New York Times. There, in =
an=20
article titled "How to talk about Israel," Buruma explained, "The=20
Palestinian cause has become the universal litmus test of liberal=20
credentials." And so it is. In the wreckage of Oslo it is =
important to=20
note who its greatest beneficiaries were. The Israelis? Our lives =
have=20
become a crapshoot. The Palestinians? Their standard of living was =
decimated by Arafat's kleptocracy, while their children were =
brainwashed=20
by its jihadist media.=20
<P>No. The real beneficiaries of the Oslo process were people on =
the=20
political Left like Peres and Ross and Annan and Clinton and their =
peace-activist friends. At Oslo, where Yasser Arafat and his PLO =
were=20
crowned in glory and legitimacy, these men finally found a way to =
be=20
pro-PLO and "pro-Israel."=20
<P>As long as Israel had a government that favored Arafat and =
Oslo, they=20
could ignore the fact that Arafat's regime was among the greatest=20
human-rights abusers in the world. They could, as the UN did this =
week,=20
condemn every move that Israel takes to defend itself against =
aggression,=20
never condemn the massacre of Israeli civilians, and still say =
they were=20
friends of Israel because they believed in peace. They could =
equate=20
Zionism with racism, as Mandela has, and pretend that they =
actually cared=20
about the human rights of Jews because they support Oslo. They =
could keep=20
their place on the liberal A-list without ever having to come to =
terms=20
with the fact that what they claimed to be supporting and what =
they=20
actually were advocating were mutually exclusive.=20
<P>But now that is over. Oslo is dead. The overwhelming majority =
of=20
Israelis want Arafat to disappear and do not believe that peace =
can be=20
achieved in the foreseeable future. The PA stands revealed as the=20
terrorist regime it has been since its inception.=20
<P>Sides must be chosen. Some leftists, like Meron Benvenisti and =
Uri=20
Avnery, have already done so. Benvenisti advocates the destruction =
of the=20
Jewish state, and Avnery acts as a human shield for Arafat.=20
<P>In America, historian of Zionism Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, like=20
philanthropists Edgar Bronfman and Marvin Lender, has also chosen =
sides by=20
appealing to President George W. Bush to put sanctions on Israel =
and to=20
view Israel and the PA as equivalents. Thus do they remain =
acceptable to=20

<P>Then again, at least they've "shown their cards" as Bush might =

so men like Peres and Ross, who continue to view reality as just =
another=20
option, and choose self-delusion over the plain meaning of facts.=20
<P>No doubt many on the Left are emotionally, politically, and =

invested in the false assumptions of Oslo. And yet the time has =
