Sorry, seems I read a bit too much into it, I thought you meant the whole cause and vision to be good in Arafat's case.
Xaccers: I never knew there was any million dollar homes in Gaza. I have noticed before though, that the Palestinians have some really nice brand new ambulances for some destitute people. Then there is always the fact they can't buy things like food, or supplies, but seem to manage to afford guns and weapons.
I have often wondered what the Palestinians think the Jews should have as their homeland. The jews have been reduced to this tiny spec of land engulfed in Muslim countries. I suspect they would say they shouldn't have any land at all, then that would be interesting. The by far the oldest religion would have no homeland.
Also, noone has yet managed to give me an answer to the question: "If Judaisism goes back to 2000bc, and Islam was founded in 600ad, how can Islam have any claim on Jewish land when it is obvious that they were there first?"
Dr Wadd: I think he had that power. Look at the chaos surrounding his funeral. He could have stopped the intifada (that he started?) if he wanted to.
