Who the fk do you think you are? What in the fk would you know about real life compromise in the face of real geo-politics? What would you know about organizing an armed resistance, about trying to run a civil administration in the middle of an occupation with massive rifts within your own people? There are plenty of criticisms to make of Arafat but to show so much glee at his passing because you made him a theoretical enemy of your revolution yet to come is despicable. Is there anything you will not do in your quest to rise yourself above the din? Show some fkig respect. Travis
