Minnesord over Arafat
De fleset minnesord over Arafat har fremstilt ham som en statsmann og vinner av Nobels Fredspris. Dette er bilde vestlige medier stort sett ynder å gi. Her er et utdrag av Jeff Jacoby som gir et mer sannferdig bilde av monsteret Arafat.
Arafat the monster
By Jeff Jacoby, Globe Columnist November 11, 2004
YASSER ARAFAT died at age 75, lying in bed surrounded by familiar faces. He left this world peacefully, unlike the thousands of victims he sent to early graves.
In a better world, the PLO chief would have met his end on a gallows, hanged for mass murder much as the Nazi chiefs were hanged at Nuremberg. In a better world, the French president would not have paid a visit to the bedside of such a monster. In a better world, George Bush would not have said, on hearing the first reports that Arafat had died, "God bless his soul."
God bless his soul? What a grotesque idea! Bless the soul of the man who brought modern terrorism to the world?
Resten finner du her!
