Yasir Arafat is known to many as the “father of modern terrorism.” Below is a timeline of some of the key events of his life and terrorist acts with which he was associated.(prepared by www.camera.org)

– Aug 4, 1929: Arafat born in Cairo. Muhammad Abdel Rahman Abdel Rauf al-Qudwa al-Husseini is fifth child of prosperous merchant, Abdel Raouf al-Qudwa al-Husseini.

– 1965-1967: Numerous Fatah bomb attacks target Israeli villages, water pipes, railroads. Homes are destroyed and Israelis are killed.

– July 1968: Fatah joins and becomes the dominant member of the PLO, an umbrella organization of Palestinian terrorist groups.

– Feb. 4, 1969: Arafat is appointed Chairman of the Executive Committee of the PLO

– Feb. 21, 1970: SwissAir flight 330, bound for Tel Aviv, is bombed in mid-flight by PFLP, a PLO member group. 47 people are killed.

– May 8, 1970: PLO terrorists attack an Israeli schoolbus with bazooka fire, killing nine pupils and three teachers from Moshav Avivim

– Sept. 6, 1970: TWA, Pan-Am, and BOAC airplanes are hijacked by PLO terrorists.

– September 1970: Jordanian forces battle the PLO terrorist organization, driving its members out of Jordan after the group's violent activity threatens to destabilize the kingdom. The terrorists flee to Lebanon. This period in PLO history is called “Black September.”

– May 1972: PFLP, part of the PLO, dispatches members of the Japanese Red Army to attack Lod Airport in Tel Aviv, killing 27 people.

– Sept. 5, 1972: Munich Massacre —11 Israeli athletes are murdered at the Munich Olympics by a group calling themselves “Black September,”said to be an arm of Fatah, operating under Arafat's direct command.

– March 1, 1973: Palestinian terrorists take over Saudi embassy in Khartoum. The next day, two Americans –including the United States' ambassador to Sudan, Cleo Noel – and a Belgian were shot and killed. James J. Welsh, an analyst for the National Security Agency from 1969 through 1974, charged Arafat with direct complicity in these murders.

– September 1993: Arafat shakes hands with Israeli Prime Minister Rabin, inaugurating the Oslo Accords. Arafat pledges to stop incitement and terror, and to foster co-existence with Israel, but fails to comply. Throughout the years of negotiations, aside from passing, token efforts, Arafat does nothing to stop Hamas, PFLP, and Islamic Jihad from carrying out thousands of terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. With Arafat's encouragement and financial support, groups directly under Arafat's command, such as the Tanzim and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, also carry out terror attacks.

– Oct. 21, 1996: Speaking at a rally near Bethlehem, Arafat said "We know only one word - jihad. jihad, jihad, jihad. Whoever does not like it can drink from the Dead Sea or from the Sea of Gaza." (Yediot Ahronot, October 23, 1996)

– April 16, 1998: In a statement published in the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, Arafat is quoted: "O my dear ones on the occupied lands, relatives and friends throughout Palestine and the diaspora, my colleagues in struggle and in arms, my colleagues in struggle and in jihad...Intensify the revolution and the blessed intifada...We must burn the ground under the feet of the invaders."

– July 2000: Arafat rejects peace settlement offered by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, which would have led to a Palestinian state.

I thought I'd post the above because most of the timelines being published in the newspapers missed out on some of the details without which people must be scratching their heads as to why the man was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.

If you gonna knock the fellow (and you are allowed to), you should try and do a bit more than take a straight excerpt from an extremist site.

Zero credibility

Are you denying this timeline, JimBoy?

Someone should put up a timeline of Palestinian deaths over this period ... and then the full extent of Arafat's disastrous leadership in starting and promoting the second Intifada will be seen.

The American president has always had 'unparalleled authority'. Don't see why it'd be any different now.
Bush now has 4 more years without having to be re-elected. He has been elected on a clear electoral college and popular vote for his policies. he has increased the Republicans majority in the congress.

He is determined there will be a democratic state in Palestine and he now has the unquestioned political power to achieve it.

Arafat's death 'could end' peace process

A confidante of the ailing Palestinian leader has warned Israel that Yasser Arafat's death could bring an end to the stalled peace process.

Abdul Rahman Hamad, from the Palestinian National Authority, says it would take a new leader at least 10 years to establish his credentials with the Palestinian people.

He has told ABC TV's Insiders, only Mr Arafat can achieve peace in that time.

"Israel will never find a new Palestinian leader who will be able in the coming years to sit down with Israel and reach a real peace agreement," he said.

"If they are looking exactly for peace, believe me they have to pray for President Arafat as we do, because he is the guy who can make peace with the Israelis."

A senior aide to Yasser Arafat has said the ailing Palestinian leader is in stable condition and is not in a coma.

The 75-year-old is receiving treatment in a Paris hospital, although what is causing his illness is unknown.

Earlier the Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie held talks in Gaza with Palestinian armed factions aimed at preserving calm and unity in the event of the death of Mr Arafat.

Mr Qurie says the military commanders have agreed on a plan to ensure security and order.

"It was a very important meeting, it may be the first of its kind where the Government, the legislative council, and heads of security forces have met with the leaders of national and Islamic movements, it was held in faithfulness to the leading brother President Yassar Arafat," he said.

Perhaps now you could post a time line of all terrorist attacks on Palestinians committed by forces under the control of Sharon in that same time period.

You know...the same guy that was found 'indirectly responsible' by an ISREALI HIGH COURT for the Sabra and Shatilla massacres in Lebenon, known as the 'butcher of beirut' who was rather amusingly described by Bush earlier in the year as 'a man of peice'.

And on Arafat.....good riddance!

Speaking of people with zero credibility, how are you Guru O'Reilly!

You know as well as I do that this time line is deliberately misleading, if not factually wrong, in order to push a particular point of view. Not exactly objective.

So what makes Camera an "extremist" site?

The fact that it publishes truthful information?

I apologise. The timeline actually omits the war crimes this repulsive beast committed on his own people (he's responsible for the deaths of more Palestinians than Jews and he's also butchered Jordanians, Syrians and Lebanese).

The atrocities at Sabra and Shatilla were committed by Lebanese Falangists. There was no excuse for what they did or for the fact that Sharon sat back and let it happen but don't bring them up without mentioning the murders by Arafat of hundreds of Christian Lebanese before that event.

And let's not forget that his personal wealth is greater than the GNP of the rest of the Palestinian population.

Why do you think he's being treated in a French Hospital?

Perhaps if he hadn't stolen all those billions from his own people and used Euro Dollars for terrorist purposes they might have built a hospital in Ramallah suitable to treat him.

Yeah. Good riddance to Arafat and a pox on those who are so lacking in a moral compass that they can't tell the difference between terrorism and the legitimate right to self defence.

Mate, if you're trying to defend that particularly propaganda site, then I think your posting on the wrong forum.

You should be posting here instead with your like-minded friends. Infact you can take MillerCHF with you too.

Do me a favour and don't mate me and don't equate every reasoned argument with a reference to one of the very rare extremist sites on the pro-Israeli side. Instead of answering my question you posted a link to the Kahane site. That's real propaganda and I can refer you to a plethora of racist Jew hating sites and references on your side of the argument if you like.

In fact what you have done by introducing Kahane (who has virtually no credibility among Israelis) is that you brought up something truly instructive as to where the debate stands in relation to this conflict.

Israel has outlawed the Kahane/KACH organisation because it's racist.

On the other hand, the Palestine Authority has, despite its undertakings in the various Oslo Agreements and pursuant to the Quartet's International Road Map to Peace done nothing to outlaw the numerous racist Palestinian armed organisations (Hamas calls Jews "monkeys" and "pigs") or to anything to arrest and disarm them as is their obligation.

The fact that the PA hasn't banned the Jew Haters or taken a single pea shooter off the armed thugs who not only terrorise Israeli civilians but make life miserable for the many Palestinians who want to lead normal lives and who want to make peace with Israel says a lot. That could be why the reaction to Arafat's illness was so muted among Palestinians in the West Bank.

1-If rabbi Meir Kahane has NO Credibilty among Israelis,why does he have support among 5-6% of religious Jews?.
2-Now if that is so,why is KACH still represented in the Israeli Parliament?I mean,in most countries,outlawed organistions have NO parliamentary presence.
4-I WONT quote what the mainstream isreali press calls ordinary Palestinians.

"1-If rabbi Meir Kahane has NO Credibilty among Israelis,why does he have support among 5-6% of religious Jews?."

Kahane is dead. Has been for a long time. You don't know what you're talking about.

"2-Now if that is so,why is KACH still represented in the Israeli Parliament?I mean,in most countries,outlawed organistions have NO parliamentary presence."

Again you don't know what your'e talking about. KACH is not represented in Israel's Knesset but if you think it is name the leader of the party, when was he elected and give me his CV?

"4-I WONT quote what the mainstream isreali press calls ordinary Palestinians"

Ditto. You can get Jerusalem Post and Haaretz on line. These are mainstream Israeli Press and if you bothered reading them you'd find they contain intelligent reporting - often critical of Israeli government and they don't natter on about things that are beyond them like you do.

As for your friend Jim Boy who goes on about the dead man Kahane. I'm prepared to debate you any time as soon as you can put up an argument that has some basis in fact.

Name calling never wins any arguments and the fact that all you can say in
response to my claim that Palestinian "armed thugs ... not only terrorise Israeli civilians but make life miserable for the many Palestinians who want to lead normal lives and who want to make peace with Israel ..." is "I don't think Kahane are extreme enough for you" tells me a lot about your intellect (or lack thereof).

How ironic....

You wouldn't know what fact is if it came and bit you on the ass.

Now tell me again what exactly Uri Averny has said that was incorrect?

Still waiting....

Facts? Facts?

Anybody who puts great faith in well-known hardline sites with an agenda (be it pro-Israeli or pro-Palestine) such as CAMERA has a poor grasp on what objectivity and balance actually means.

You are a moron because you believe CAMERA is a reputable site.

Now that's a fact!

There's nothing much to debate about with you gentlemen.

I gather you accept that Arafat is/was a murdering thug as well as a swindler and you're not worried at all that his future widow is involving herself in a nasty piece of argy bargy with the rest of the corrupt gang from the PLO who are all fighting over how to divvy up the loot before they pull the plug on the old feller's life support.

As I said above - "if he hadn't stolen all those billions from his own people and used Euro Dollars for terrorist purposes they might have built a hospital in Ramallah suitable to treat him.

Yeah. Good riddance to Arafat and a pox on those who are so lacking in a moral compass that they can't tell the difference between terrorism and the legitimate right to self defence."

Indeed...when you finally accept that you zionists are a bunch of child murdering lieing greedy thieves...then perhaps we can begin to debate.

Hows that dream of greater eretz going??

Oh....and JPost is a balanced paper....bwahaha...i almost died laughing when I heard that one. :D

Funny...I could of sworn that the same was being said about Mandela in the 70's and 80's.

No more or less then Sharon. How are those dodgy business deals going with his son.

Difference being that Arafat...for all his faults, has always been in a position of the weak....up against the might of the Israel army and its US lackies. He's continually been a thorn in your side...and it kills you that no matter what you do...you cannot get rid of him!

if it wasn't for Arafat....the Palestinian issue would not be an issue at all. He put palestine on the map. I guess thats why your kind hate him so much...you would of much prefered to continue murdering palestinians...without the world knowing....and all the while portraying yourselves as the victims.

Well...sorry mate...your time is up. Israel's days are numbered!

Sharon is a murdering pig who is deeply connected to the jewish mafia. A war criminal...and the fact that he was elected by Isreali's is an accurate reflection on a nation steeped in the traditions of aparthied.

I'm no fan of Arafat or his wife. But perhaps you ought to be taking a look at your own leaders before bagging others. People in glass houses really shouldn't be throwing rocks.

And how many hospitals have the IDF bombed. How many ambulances have they shot at.

Look in the mirror mate.

When those with missiles, and war planes continually bomb Palestinians towns and villages...continually destroy who streets of houses, and almost daily kill palestinians (many of them children), humiliate Palestinians daily at check points....forcing them to drink there urine (would you like me to provide a link)...it is rather clear who the real terrorists are.

Yeah, yeah, yeah ..

How sick is this?

DOHA : Yasser Arafat's wife Suha told Al Jazeera television that three of his top lieutenants due in Paris on Monday to visit the ailing Palestinian leader "want to bury Arafat alive" to inherit his power.

"Arafat is doing well and will return home," but "Abbas, Qorei and Shaath, who are trying to inherit his power, want to bury Arafat alive," Suha told the Doha-based Arabic language satellite channel.

She was referring to Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Qorei, Palestine Liberation Organisation acting chairman Mahmud Abbas and foreign minister Nabil Shaath who are due in the French capital to visit the 75-year-old Arafat, battling for his life in hospital in the southwest Paris suburb of Clamart. - AFP

The whole Arafat myth of the last 4 years is imploding before our very eyes .

The lovely Suha, well known attender at the Paris Fashion Shows, has been living the high life with her daughter since Yasser started the last intifada, while her husband has been inculcating the cult of death and martyrdom in Palestinian children.

She reportedly controls billions in EU donated aid!

The saner palestinian leadership is trying to get this back and she is gonna fight like a Kilkenny cat. The French must really have their hands full. Couldn't happen to a nicer President than Chirac.

This has to be one of the basest stories in the whole of the history of the benighted middle east.
