By now you've undoubtedly heard countless media talking heads using somber tones while reporting on Terrorist Yasser Arafat's "condition." I even heard one radio newscaster lead-in with "more bad news from France, as Yasser Arafat is rumored to be brain-dead." Bad news? Why does no one remember who this man truly is?

From Michael Savage:

The world media portrays Yasser Arafat as a kindly George Washington of the Palestinian people. The real Arafat is a blood-thirsty Ghoul. He Pioneered airline high- jackings, and he was the god father of terror. Whole villages of Christians were massacred under his command in Lebanon. His P.L.O. conducted many cowardly campaigns of murder. Perhaps the best known, in 1972, when 5 Arab terrorists entered the Olympic Village in Munich Germany, and Slaughtered 11 unarmed Israeli athletes in cold blood.

...

During the 12 year Civil War in Lebanon, caused by Yasser Arafat's assuming power through terror, his terrorists committed mass murder. Whole Villages of Christians like Damour were massacred, chopped into pieces with machetes. Out of the 30,000 Christians, 10,000 were slaughtered by Arafat's PLO. The town was then occupied and kept as Arafat's stronghold. David Shipler of the New York Times wrote the story of Damour June 21, 1982. There were individual murders. One horrific, but typical, example is when the Muktar (leader) of a village refused to be cooperative with Arafat and his terrorists. The Muktar's teenage daughter was abducted and raped. Her breasts were cut off and she was delivered to the doorstep of her father in a sack.

At 4:30 A.M. on September 5, 1972, five Arab terrorists wearing track suits climbed the six and ½ foot fence surrounding the Olympic Village in Munich, Germany. Once inside, they were met by three others who had gained entrance with credentials. Within 24 hours, 11 Israelis, five terrorists and a German policeman were dead. The Munich operation was ordered by Yasser Arafat and carried out by Fatah, Arafat's faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

The fact is, Yasser Arafat is a terrorist with gallons upon gallons of blood on his hands. He stole from the Palestinian people and plundered their national treasury, all while squandering the trust bestowed in him as he purposely worked against peace. Arafat encouraged suicide bombers by paying off the families that they left behind and hailing the bombers as martyrs. He encouraged parents to teach their childrent to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers by paying off the parents of children killed by Israeli soldiers (more if they got the killings on tape) so that he could show the tapes to the world and try to garner "sympathy" for their plight. "Look," he would say to the world, "they fire on our unarmed children, what monsters," and then turned around and paid the parents 2 years salary, saying "keep your kids throwing rocks. they are heroes. they are martyrs. They are soldiers of Allah, helping us to destroy Israel!"

You wouldn't expect the the media say, in somber tones, "bad news from Afghanistan, as Osama bin Laden is rumored to be in poor health."

Or would you? I don't even know anymore.
