"He can't tell me what to do," he snapped, scoffing at an exortation by foreign policy advisor Dore Gold that he return to Israel to deal with Palestinian extremists. While Arafat was staying out of sight, Palestinian police in Hebron formed a human chain Monday to separate Israeli troops from stone-throwing protestors, even as their counterparts in Bethelem stood idly by as 200 Palestinians battled with Israeli soldiers armed with tear gas and rubber bullets...
