Arafat's Blood Brothers
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu-Toameh - Last week a delegation from the PA Ministry of Agriculture came to see Arafat in Ramallah to express their solidarity. Minister of Agriculture Rakif Natsheh handed Arafat a letter of praise from dozens of ministry officials and employees - signed by each of them in blood. Former prime minister Mahmoud Abbas didn't come to Ramallah, where many of Arafat's followers were chanting slogans condemning Abbas as a CIA agent. "I feel sick when I see all these people dancing in the streets for a leader who has led them from one disaster to another," said a senior aide to Abbas. "As long as he's around, Arafat will never allow anyone else to have a say in Palestinian decision-making."
