"There is no Palestine. There is only Israel."

Spoken in ignorance and hatred as dangerous as that of an Nazi. Arafat was born in Egypt due to the genocidal policies of Israel that deny Palestine as a nation and deny Palestinians rights as human beings.

Arafat's biggest mistake was that he thought that the Zionists and U.S. imperialism could be negotiated with. His second mistake was to limit his vision within the confines of capitalism while limiting Palestine’s borders to small dependent Bantustans. Within these confines he has done the dirty work of the Zionists by jailing revolutionary socialists that know that the borders of Palestine include all of present day Israel and Jordan.
