Thousands of Arafats
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Ironically, it is Arafat's rivals - Abbas and Dahlan - who stand to lose most if Arafat is deported. The two - already accused by many Palestinians of being American and Israeli "Quislings" - would lose all that's left of their credibility on the Palestinian street. "They will have to pack their bags and leave," said a Fatah official and Arafat loyalist. "The people will stone them to death if they choose to stay after Arafat is deported." According to the official, "You must also not forget that the Palestinian cause is not a personal matter. There are many PLO, Fatah, and Palestinian Authority institutions with leaders who are no different from Arafat. There are thousands of Arafats here."
