In an interview with Le Monde earlier this month, Arafat attacked "American Zionist intrigues in which certain Arab countries are participating." The aim, he added, was to "torpedo the Geneva conference and to isolate Syria." The reference to "certain Arab countries" probably meant Egypt...
Also, The Real Paper claims "Brecht's [sic] contemporary classic, Waiting for Godot," is being presented at some place called the Arts Center in the Pinebank in Jamicaway. I suspect neither exist, but you never know...
