Wake up, America to truth about Arafat

Published 9:00 pm Thursday, May 9, 2002

Regarding the two excellent April 25 letters to the editor in The Herald by Kal Leichtman and Cathy Reece regarding the Jews and Yassir Arafat (“Middle East: Sharon, Israel act against terrorists” and “Middle East: Israel has right to resist terrorism”), I would like to add: what was the nationality of the persons who flew the planes into the buildings in New York City? They were Arabs and the majority were Saudi-Arabians.

When the present King Abdullah of Jordan’s father was ruler – King Hussein – he kicked Arafat, the terrorist, out of his country because Arafat tried to overthrow his government. America – take your head out of the sand and at least make an effort to learn the truth about Arafat!
