ARAFAT - BARRY CHAMISH'S THOUGHTS...

Barry Chamish's work interests me greatly. I have offered to post for him on RMN. Here is what he has to say about Arafat. My apologies for not getting this up before he actually died, but I felt what he said was still pertinent.

Please note that although Barry knows very well all of Arafat's "excesses", there were points on which they both agree. Barry is painfully honest about Israel's leaders, and the people they are using in order to destroy Israel from within. TP

THE IMPENDING (NOW CONFIRMED - tp) JOYOUS PASSING OF YASIR ARAFAT

by Barry Chamish

With Yasir Arafat lying sick in a Paris military hospital, doctors say there is no predicting when he will die. Actually, that's not true. He will die on a Jewish holiday. Any day that Arafat dies will be a Jewish holiday.

But in a less perverse world, it would be a "Palestinian" holiday as well. Gone will be the mega-bandit who led them into hopeless misery, who ordered the murder of thousands of his own and who stole billions of dollars from their pockets. Yet from the reaction of these same people to his illness, it seems they will actually mourn the passing of this hoodlum.

But, believe it or not, Arafat and I agree on some pretty salient points. Recall that he claimed the murder of Rehavam Zeevi was not his doing, and that the order came from Damascus. That was my conclusion. We just differ on the motive. Zeevi threatened to expose Shimon Peres to the nation. Peres used his French intelligence contacts to arrange the hit through their organization, the PFLP, headquartered in Damscus.

Recall also that the PFLP chief, George Habash fell ill and flew to Paris for treatment under the auspices of Francois Mitterand. Arafat watchers, recoil! Habash didn't last long after that.

But in all fairness to the "Rais," let's examine some of his claims more closely.

Regarding weapons in the hands of Arab terrorists, Arafat said, "These weapons could be obtained only from high authorities with great influence on the Israeli side."
(Jerusalem Post, March 22, 1996)

"An unholy conspiracy of Israeli 'fanatics', who are members of a shadowy group of ex-IDF people called 'OAS', and Moslem extremists were behind [the Feb.1996] suicide bombings, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat told foreign diplomats... Arafat is known to have said last year, before [Ehud] Barak became [Israel's] foreign minister, that 'Barak is one of the big bosses of the OAS'..."
(Jerusalem Post, Feb.27, 1996)

Referring to the Arab terrorist attack in Beit Lid, in which 22 Israelis were killed, and other attacks in 1995, Arafat said, "I have evidences that these terrorist activities have been done through coordination between these fanatic Islamic groups and some elements on the Israeli side."
(Washington Post, May 2, 1995)

"PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, in interviews published yesterday, accused IDF troops of aiding the spread of arms in the territories in a plot to create chaos in Palestinian self-rule areas...'This weapons trade is being carried out under the auspices of some Israeli officers in the West Bank and Gaza. This is part of a wicked plan'..."
(Jerusalem Post, Feb. 18 & Feb. 19, 1994)

From Rabbi Katz's website:

"21 November, 2000 Document: Complete text of Barak Government "white paper" on PA/PLO non-compliance"

CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND MISCALCULATIONS

Another recurrent pattern which does color Arafat's judgement, at times - and was certainly evident in the manner in which he "explained" the current crisis to the Emergency Session of the Arab Summit - is his tendency to weave conspiracy theories (Mu'amarat) and use them, with a thin line separating fact from fiction.

Thus - as an example - in a series of interviews in March and April 1995, including a fascinating meeting with a sympathetic Israeli and American audience, Arafat raised the argument that a secret Israeli organization - an "O.A.S." within the GSS... - working through the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, was in fact responsible for a series of terrorist attacks such as the bombing in Beit Lid (in which 22 Israelis died). It should be noted that this fantastic argument came (already then) in conjunction with a warning: any attempt by Israel to stall on the peace process - because of the security "excuse", as he saw it - would have a terrible affect on Israel's standing in the world:-"

Indeed, far from blaming and condemning Hamas, Arafat absolved Hamas of responsibility for the bombings. During the wave of suicide bombings in February 1996, he claimed that a group of former Israeli soldiers known as "OAS" had provided the bombs to the terrorists; and that Israel's Foreign Minister Ehud Barak had previously secretly served as the head of "OAS."
[62] Jerusalem Post, Feb. 27, 1996

Regarding weapons in the hands of Arab terrorists, Arafat said, "These weapons could be obtained only from high authorities with great influence on the Israeli side." (Jerusalem Post, March 22, 1996)

The OAS was the French security agency responsible for keeping France in Algeria during the '50s and early '60s. Arafat believes a similar organization is working hand in hand with radical Arab groups spreading terror to promote its agenda. I have come to the exact conclusion. The name of this OAS is the Shabak, short for General Security Services.

Where Arafat can't overcome his narrow worldview is his belief that this OAS is trying to weaken the "peace" process. Quite the opposite. It is trying to strengthen its version of "peace" by eliminating the settler movement through terror. Until the first Jewish residents of Gaza are forcibly expelled from their homes, this unholy alliance of Shabak and extremist Arabs will continue its campaign of murder. And it will continue to continue, until the last vestiges of religiosity are removed from their Sabbataian state.

Note that he claims Ehud Barak was the head of this OAS. Actually, Barak was head of military intelligence, which works without cross purposes with the Shabak. Arafat's refusal to accept any offer made to him by Barak at Camp David, thus, came from a complete distrust of Ehud Barak.

Again, I couldn't agree with Arafat more.

Insan,
Is there any truth in this report?

Turkey warns U.S. it plans to invade northern Iraq shortly after elections




ANKARA — Turkey's military has begun preparing for what officials warned could result in a major invasion of neighboring Iraq.

Officials said the Turkish General Staff has drafted plans for an invasion by at least 20,000 troops into northern Iraq in early 2005. They said the General Staff has urged approval from the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan and discussed the proposed invasion with the United States.

"The current phase is to show the United States that we're serious," a Turkish government source said. "After the Iraqi elections in January, the Turkish military will be ready to move."

The military has called for a massive operation in northern Iraq to prevent Kurdish militias from controlling the area. The General Staff has been particularly alarmed by the reported Kurdish effort to drive out ethnic Turks from Kirkuk, the oil capital of northern Iraq and long claimed by Ankara.

Under the Turkish plan, the military would deploy at least 20,000 Turkish troops in an enclave south of the Iraqi-Turkish border. The force would focus on eliminating the Kurdish Workers Party and ensure the return of Turkmens to Kirkuk.

About 3,000 PKK fighters are said to be based in northern Iraq and have been sending insurgents and weaponry for attacks inside neighboring Turkey.

The United States has refused numerous Turkish appeals to eliminate the PKK strongholds.

On Oct. 14 Erdogan and his cabinet reviewed the General Staff's plan. That meeting, attended by Chief of Staff Gen. Hilmi Ozkok and Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul, discussed the rapid deployment of up to 40,000 troops in northern Iraq.

A scaled-down version of the military plan was discussed in the national security council on Oct. 27. The officials said that over the last week some units have already been deployed along the Iraqi-Turkish border.

Officials said the General Staff has sought to prepare two army divisions to cross the Iraqi border within 18 hours of any approval of the operation.

The first goal of the ground operation, supported by fighter-jets and attack helicopters, would be to destroy PKK strongholds in the Kandil mountains in northern Iraq.

The General Staff has warned the cabinet that Ankara could no longer ignore the Kurdish threat. Officials said the military has determined that Kurds from Iran and Syria have bolstered support for the PKK.

Iranian and Syrian Kurds, they said, have participated in PKK attacks against police and military targets in southeastern Turkey over the last week.

Officials said the General Staff has sought to obtain U.S. approval for the operation in northern Iraq. But Washington has not provided implicit approval.

The Erdogan government has sought to delay any Turkish military operation until after the European Union summit on Dec. 17. The government intends to spare the EU any pretext to delay a date for accession.

Officials said the Peshmerga are digging tunnels and establishing outposts outside Dahouk, near the Turkish border.
