More on Arafat

As the United Nations officially files for moral bankruptcy by flying its flags at half-staff in memory of Yasser Arafat, here are two links that provide more details on the real legacy of the deceased terrorist:

-The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies provides this backgrounder on the Arafat record.

-At National Review Online, Aaron Mannes describes Arafat's legacy of terrorism in the article "Terrorism’s Godfather".

As I noted earlier, my fondest hope is that Arafat's passing will allow the Palestinians to move beyond his legacy of terrorism and hatred, and build a future based on freedom, prosperity and living in peace with Israel.
