...continually incites Palestinians and has called for jihad and a million martyrs—suicide bombers—to march on Jerusalem. Asking Arafat and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to control the numerous terrorist factions is equivalent to asking Osama bin Laden to control the al Qaeda terrorists. In Arafat??s Ramallah compound, Israeli forces have found anti-tank weapons, which were explicitly banned under the Oslo accords. In addition, the military has recovered documents that demonstrate the PA directly funds the suicide bombing campaign and was behind the recent Karine A weapons shipment...

Arafat??s Fatah and its associated Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade have claimed responsibility for a number of suicide bombings. Other organizations, more loosely affiliated with Arafat, have perpetrated many more. Arafat has allied himself with Iran in order to smuggle heavy weapons to Palestinian forces, clearly illustrated by the Karine A weapons-boat debacle, and has refused to jail and hold radical militants. A document released by the Israeli government, found last week in the PA compound in Ramallah, actually...
