Certainly Arafat is not out of the picture - but he has been sidelined politically.

Btw - Denisejo, do you have any evidence to back up your assertion that Abu Mazen is a founder of Hamas, pledged to wipe Israel off the map, and to kill ever Jewish man, woman, and child?

(I'd like to make it plain that I am not inviting links and pasted material from hate sites - on either side of the divie.)
