Killing Arafat
Summary: Yasser Arafat, the Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, has been a fomenter of terrorism virtually his entire "professional" career. Killing Arafat as opposed to exiling him, where he can still communicate with terrorists on the ground, is preferable. ...

The spiritual leader of Hamas, a skinny and creepy looking Sheikh has been allowed to offer succor to terrorists for years and continues to do so unabated. This is an illustration of Israel’s restraint in killing only those terrorists who have directly participated in ordering or planning attacks.

The United States would never be so restrained in fighting terrorism, nor should it be. The nature of terrorism and religious fanaticism requires the wholesale destruction of all who are involved in it. Fanatics won’t relent or change their minds. Those they abandoned and discarded long ago.

This is why killing Arafat as opposed to exiling him, where he can still communicate with terrorists on the ground, is preferable. His death and the prompt subsequent deaths of everyone else in the terrorist hierarchy will effectively clamp down the terrorism problem which has only been emboldened by Israel’s limited and timid responses. If they don’t do this then they can only expect more of same and the blood of Israelis will continue to run in the streets as it has been.

1. Cheerful looking fellow.
Perhaps a bit too much testosterone or something.

3. Not the assessment
The GOI doesn't share that assessment. This fellow is ivy league and dealing with an abstract.

5. Killing Arafat would be the worst thing possible
He would just be portrayed as a martyr by Muslim people around the world.

6. Kill kill kill
This fellow would just about kill every Palestinian official, moderate or not, so they wouldn't have anyone to talk to. Gee what a nice and reasonable guy. Do they have more of them? Creepy people...
