After years of saying that he had given up terrorism and was seeking peace with the Jewish state, Yasser Arafat has proven that he is still a terrorist. Documents that the Israeli army has seized in Palestinian Authority (PA) offices in Ramallah and elsewhere show that Arafat had personal involvement in supporting and directing attacks against innocent Israelis during the course of the current war.

Gorin refers to the Treaty of Hudaybiyah between the Muslims of Medina and the Quraysh of Mecca. Yasser Arafat compared the Oslo Peace Accords to this treaty in a statement at a South African mosque. The accusation of an abrogation of the treaty by the Prophet (and with it, of an intention of breaking the treaty at one’s convenience) falls flat. The historical evidence tells us that Mohammad...
