How about the Israel's or for that matter the whole world, don't they deserve better than a blood thirsty killer who massacred 1000's of people in Beirut, Qana, Jenin and so on and still doing it.
And far more were killed in Lebanon by the civil war and as a result of Arafats doings. That too, would then qualify Arafat as a far greater killer than Sharon.
Look, all Im saying is, that in the end, they deserve each other.
Arafat was not the one who caused the Lebanese civil war. It was the Phalangist supported by Israel that wanted the PA out. Ask me I was there at the time.
I have been back and Lebanon is now the Paris of the ME again. But I disagree with you about Iran and so on. Hizbolla did not exist at the time. Israel wanted a hand in Lebanon to be closer to Syria. This is why they invaded. They struck a deal with Bashir Gemayel - president -elect of Lebanon and then when they are done with the Massacre, they put a bomb in the building he was in and nothing was left of him.
I am saying that because i was there and seen it all. So do not tell me you read something in the paper because nothing will convince me otherwise.
Who was bombing Israel at that time when hizbollah did not exist. The Palastinans assasinated the diplomat and not lebanese. Lebanon had never been to war with israel in 1948, 1967 or 1973. lebanon decided to say within its borders at that time.
However, Israel was interested in the stratigic location of Lebanon to be close to Syria plus for economics reasons to lure all the tourists into Israel if Lebanon had a civil war. Remember that you said Lebanon was the Jewel of the East. We survived on Tourism. That was not good for Israel. So Divide and conquer.
