Here’s a riddle: how is Obama like Arafat?
Answer: He says one thing to one group and another to another.
And he gives both speeches within a couple of days of each other.
And then he does whatever he wants.
And anyone who believes his promises deserves what they get: betrayal.
[NOTE: See this.]
Also, each is a Nobel Laureate.
Also…both are Muslim??
And…both incompetent!
They both work for world socialism? Both are involved with Islam as a weapon… and a whole lot more…
they have common ties with soviet union, common ties in a peace prize, islam, and lots of stuff… but maybe now some may pay attention?
in fact, “imperial-Zionism” was a Moscow invention, a modern adaptation of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” and long a favorite tool of Russian intelligence to foment ethnic hatred. Ion Pacepa (source covered below – and etnic hatred is racism… )
and given today’s news about Ireland etc.. I would pay attention near the bottom!!!
might reveal something most don’t know.. even a heck of a lot of irish!

Good Ole Charlie: I’m not sure I’d describe Arafat as “incompetent”. I guess it depends on what you think his area of expertise was or should have been.
As a rabble-rouser, he was expert indeed. As a terrorist and leader of terrorists, he was quite successful. He was a wily survivor; he ruled the PLO for forty years, outlasting many Middle Eastern dictators. He became an enduring symbol for the Palestinians. And he made himself a ton of ill-gotten money, to say nothing of the Nobel Prize.
Another area of expertise, along the lines of what Neo was saying: he was very good indeed at communicating an idea, with a nudge and a wink, that he knew his followers would treat one way, while being utterly deniable to anyone else. A classic example was the way he always wore his khaffiyah draped across his right shoulder, with a corner hanging down. To the faithful, this was evocative of the shape of Israel — of ALL of Israel — and it was his silent, eloquent message to them that this was what he wanted and would settle for nothing less. (Had anyone called him on it, though, he would have said: “What, now you’re objecting to the way I wear a hat?!?”)
I doubt it was his long-term intention to warp and twist Palestinian society into death-worship, where children are raised to be bombs. He was tragically quite effective in that. I honestly believe that, if we ever again see a healthy and sane Palestinian society, they will curse Arafat’s name for what he did to them.
(And it may be that someday, as Meryl Yourish once wrote, the only ones who remember Arafat will be the Jews, as yet another in the long line who “in every generation have risen up to destroy us” — just as Xerxes’ vizier Haman would be utterly forgotten today, had he not been immortalized in the Book of Esther.)
How will we remember President Obama in a century or two?

We can guess how the people who voted for him will be remembered.
I wonder if AIPAC types are capable of learning. It was clear Obama was anti-Israel in 2008; maybe the Bibi to Obama reality lecture will shock a few more into this time-space continuum. Apparently AIPAC choose to forgive and forget that Obama’s first overseas phone call to a foreign head of state was to Mahmoud Abbas, four days after inauguration.
Why have so few noticed that anyone who thinks his personality will bring peace to the ME has delusions of grandeur, in short Dear Leader is a friggin’ loon. The emperor is not only naked but running through the streets shouting obscenities while the media is calling singing and dancing.
I can guess how we will be viewed in a century or two.
I wonder what excuse the anti-Semites of that time will use to hate Jews, my guess they will still be harping on the Palestinian problem.
Both fuse islam and communism — call it islamism…
The PLO was a First Directorate agitprop front… plain and simple.
They indoctrinated Arafat in Moscow. How open can you get?
As for the Wan: full blown marxist while at Occidental.
Sheesh…
He’s never left the commune.
As Artfldgr notes, the hard left has long used the Jews as a punching bag to gain allies and expand influence. However, BHO’s finger wagging, and hemming and hawing on 1967 borders is a non-starter. IMO, the real solution is to turn the West Bank into a demilitarized zone and return it to the control of Jordan. If Jordan doesn’t want that hot potato let them eat cake.
Parker:
Re West Bank DMZ, see Korea. Not a solution. NOT. Islamists are NORKs with gloves off.
Don Carlos,
I beg to differ. Give ’em rope and when they transgress hang ’em. This prolonged occupation does not serve the Israelis’ best interests IMO. Claim it as your sovereign territory (and act accordingly) or give it back to Jordan. However, I’m not a resident of Israel so its easy to be an armchair quarterback.
With regard to the Korean DMZ… its worked so far. No major hostilities since 1952.
Peace is, and has always been, temporary. The only way to attain it is to have the biggest stick. Everything else is commentary.
