Yasser Arafat
Yasser Arafat
QUOTE Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat As Qudwa al-Hussaeini was born on 24 August 1929 in Cairo**, his father a textile merchant who was a Palestinian with some Egyptian ancestry, his mother from an old Palestinian family in Jerusalem. She died when Yasir, as he was called, was five years old, and he was sent to live with his maternal uncle in Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, then under British rule, which the Palestinians were opposing. He has revealed little about his childhood, but one of his earliest memories is of British soldiers breaking into his uncle's house after midnight, beating members of the family and smashing furniture.
After four years in Jerusalem, his father brought him back to Cairo, where an older sister took care of him and his siblings. Arafat never mentions his father, who was not close to his children. Arafat did not attend his father's funeral in 1952.
In Cairo, before he was seventeen Arafat was smuggling arms to Palestine to be used against the British and the Jews. At nineteen, during the war between the Jews and the Arab states, Arafat left his studies at the University of Faud I (later Cairo University) to fight against the Jews in the Gaza area. The defeat of the Arabs and the establishment of the state of Israel left him in such despair that he applied for a visa to study at the University of Texas. Recovering his spirits and retaining his dream of an independent Palestinian homeland, he returned to Faud University to major in engineering but spent most of his time as leader of the Palestinian students.

I was very surprised during his funeral that he was buried with honors. He was a very controversial man and in my humble opinion, he was not seeking for the peace in the middle east.

Not only was he NOT seeking peace in the Middle East, he was the direct source of much, if not most of the violence in the Middle East over the last four decades. He planned and implemented the Munich Olympics terrorist attack. He also developed the methods of terrorism used in hijacking airplanes and cruise liners. His strategies and tactics were the examples used by all other terrorist organizations throughout the world since 1967.
He was the father, grandfather, and godfather of violence, racism, bigotry, and brutality. Under his guidance, any "Palestinian" Arab who even considered working with Israelis, or tried to coexist peacefully with Israel, was murdered.

I think this is a very misleading sentence. There WAS a Palestinian state formed, on the exact same day as Israel. It was, and is, named Jordan. His dream wasn't for the founding of an independent Palestinian Arab state so much as it was the destruction of an independent Jewish State.
This creater, supporter, and enabler of modern terrorist violence is the man that the Nobel Committee awarded the "Peace" Prize to.

Yasser Arafat History & Civil Business Politics
Nighthawk... I agree
One of the biggest misnomer's of this whole question is how history has been rewritten and terminology skewed to another definition.
Before Israel became a state... all peoples of that region, including Jews, were called 'palestinians'
The Balfour accord (1922) was meant as a hope to Jew and Arab alike in the area encompassing Israel and Jordan (called TransJordan) at the time would one day be parcelled back to the Jews and Arabs. The Ottoman Turks after 400 years of rule over the region had lost it to the British in WW1. The Brits position was to "hold it in trust'.
Unfortunately... The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Amin al-Husseini) who advised Hitler on the Jewish question in his region... the great uncle of Yassir Arafat hated the Jews and instilled the necessity of their annihilation into Arafat. He never lost the fervor of that agenda. To Arafat... Peace meant the annihilation of every Jew from the face of that region (and it fact, the world).
It is interesting that the last 30 years has seen a marked increase in this agenda. I was talking to a fellow who returned from that region, and though I can't substantiate it, he told me that 'Mein Kemph' has found a surge of popularity and is a staple in the educational system of the radical Arab Jihadists in that region.
| Offtopic but, If I am wrong on this point... (I hope so) please tell me. But I believe these misrepresentations and lies are a prelude to a time when all nations, including America, will turn against Israel as outlined in Daniel, Revelation, and Jesus' discourse on his return in Mark, Luke, and Matthew. |
Arafat... yeah... I lost respect for him as a teenager in the 60's when he was blowing up airplanes...
