Peace, Palestinian-style (Arafat 1995 edition)

MEMRI published an interview with British-Palestinian journalist Abdel Bari Atwan where he advises Jews to learn to swim because they will be pushed out into the sea very soon:

British-Palestinian Journalist Abdel Bari Atwan: What Is Happening at Kabul Airport Will Repeat Itself at Ben Gurion Airport; Israelis Should Learn to Swim; Arafat Told Me in 1995 That I Would Live to See the Israelis Fleeing Palestine Like “Rats Fleeing a Sinking Ship" pic.twitter.com/Sp41KXOshk

It is of course outrageous that a journalist who has such opinions (and has a history of such) is respected enough to be regularly interviewed on  BBC World, Sky News, Al Jazeera English and CNN World.

However, his anecdote with Yasir Arafat is interesting.

Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, and here he is quoted in 1995 as saying that he intends to drive the Israelis into the sea.

The entire Oslo process was a sham from the beginning. This isn't the only such Arabic Arafat quote during the Oslo "peace" process indicating that he regarded it as a stage towards the destruction of Israel, in line with the 1974 Phased Plan. 

Yet gullible Westerners are so enamoured at seeing a terrorist mouthing words of peace that they don't 'even consider that perhaps he might not be telling the truth.
