Twilight of the Palestinian Regime
(Ha'aretz) Danny Rubinstein - A large advertisement appeared this weekend in the West Bank newspaper Al Quds, signed by Dr. Haider Abdul Shafi of Gaza, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti of Ramallah, and civil engineer Ibrahim Dakak of East Jerusalem, headlined "A Palestinian National Initiative for Progress Toward Freedom and Independence," calling for the establishment of a national emergency leadership and making no mention of Arafat. It is the lack of alternatives and fear of civil war that protects Arafat and his people.
