PA Leadership Has to Ditch Arafat's Legacy
(Jerusalem Post) Giora Eiland - National Security Council head Giora Eiland told the Herzliya Conference Monday: Will the new Palestinian leadership be able to free itself of Arafat's legacy? Arafat's legacy has four components: An unwillingness and/or inability to solve not just the big issues, but also the small ones. The issue of Palestinian refugees and the right of return and all the ideology behind this concept. Support for terrorism as a legitimate tool for the attainment of political goals. Keeping the Palestinians as "victims" so as to use them to produce the right emotions in the international community.
