Marie Antoinette in the Muqata
(Ha'aretz) Zvi Bar'el - "The Fatah rebels were torching the PA office in Khan Yunis when Arafat asked his famous question: 'Crisis? What crisis?'" columnist Huda Al-Husseini wrote this week in the London-based Arabic daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat. Not only has this Palestinian discourse against the Arafat regime become legitimate, it is starting to be the central discourse. The international Arab press likens Arafat and his leadership to the leadership that caused the loss of Palestine to Israel in 1948.
