Consider Arafat public enemy No. 2

Regarding Shabbir Bala’s column in the Dec. 8 Herald. (“Together, Americans can pursue justice”):

There are some glaring errors regarding Christians and Jews and the Muslims! First, there seems to be a common theme written by Muslims, and that is their hatred for Christians and Jews.

There is no bias or one-sided viewpoint for sympathy toward the Jews. The bias, and what I would consider lying by the TV and news media, is their sympathy toward the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians. The Herald, the AP, UP, etc. must have researchers to weed out the “false” reports, but it doesn’t seem to be happening.

If the U.S. is to go after terrorists, then Arafat must be No. 2 on the list, as he is one of the world’s worst.

The Herald is not doing its duty to tell the truth regarding Arafat and his murderous crew.

If The Herald was doing its job and research they would tell its readers there is no Palestinian Heritage; no Palestinian language – Arafat speaks Arabic to his followers and when he condemns the West, he speaks English to the western world.

After the destruction of the buildings in New York City, Arafat’s followers and Muslims around the world were rejoicing and voicing their approval.

The Jews (Israelites) were given the land of Palestine 3,000 years ago by God Almighty and now Arafat is trying to usurp authority over the land by killing children, women and the elderly. The Jews have every right to defend themselves, protect their land and to retaliate.
