i heard thomas friedman on the imus show this morning & he said something that i thought was interesting.

he did a google search using the words........
arafat & education.

friedman wanted to see if arafat ever gave a speech talking about how having an education would be beneficial to the palestinian people.

and obviously he didn't find anything.

and i'm sure that if he did another search using the words.......arafat & jobs he would get the same results.

this thug did nothing to help his people.

he didn't create jobs or push education.

he didn't build housing or create anything positive to benefit his people.

all he did, as other arab leaders have done, is hold their people from advancing in life & the leaders taking all of the money for themselves.

there have been many countries who gave the palestinian people billions of dollars over the years.

where did that money go ?

it's funny that the new leaders & arafat's wife are battling over control of what is said to be billions of dollars.

how come he had billions of $$ & his people are poor ?

wll i'm sure that arafat wasn't the only one stealing from his people.

the other leaders of arab countries are billionaires also & many of their people are living in poverty.

these leaders blame the u. s. for all of their problems.

and the arab people have bought this.

it's pretty sickening, imo.

and another thing that i find sickening is that the u.n. are flying their flags at half mast.

another reason why the u.n. should be torn down & a parking lot shold be put up instead.

i`ve questionned why the oil rich arab world didn`t use some of it`s vast resources to turn the west bank into something positive for it`s people.....

ar1 hit it on the head....it`s easier to hate israel and the west....to use them as boogeymen.....much like the race husters in this country.....the jesse jackson`s and sharpton`s.......it`s their own little cottage industry..

..to avert attention from the greed and corruption that`s taking place...lining the pockets of these s.o.b.`s ...not saying that israel has no part in all this misery...i`m saying that the rest of the arab world is happier hating everything western than helping their own people......god forbid they lose their reason to hate by making palestine almost livable for it`s people.....can`t have that....many of them thrive on this hatred....

although...to be fair...any moderate arab voice that actually tries to negotiate a settlementwill probably be shortening his life considerably....may be why arafat turned down ehud barak`s offer to give back 90% of the territory`s taken during the war in "67"......


and the u.n. is refusing us access to documents regarding the oil for food scandal...who`s surprised at that?....

great post ar1.......well said...

how many nobel peace awards has an arab or iseaeli been awarded? curious.
How can Imus be still alive? I saw him about 5 years ago, he looked like a corpse slumped over a chair.
Lastly, the history of Palestine would make good reading. You'll be a different human being thankful you are you and not one of them. He didn't have to sit in one room for 3 years. a humble but informed opinion.
