Esai Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 i didnt know arafat was elected democratically.How ironic that a president who wasnt elected democratically, but rather stole the electtion illegally is demanding arafat resign under the name of freedom and democracy. I guess thats the story of uS history though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 The big bad terrorist group in Palestine is the Hamas, right? Well, the Hamas already holds like 40% of the Palestinian govt. positions... if Arafat steps down and then holds elections again, his party could face significant losses, he could be booted and then the 'real terrorists' would take over... of course, this wouldn't be a bad thing because then the country could be targeted outright by the US because Hamas is on our 'terror list', then we could justify direct action... and, of course, the Palestinians probably realize this so Arafat will be elected again...
