“They have said if Chairman Arafat requests, they will no longer engage in terrorist activities. Again, what the gentleman's chart points out is this organization, Fatah, which is directly tied to Arafat, in which the people themselves have said they report to Arafat, they have publicly stated if Arafat says to stop violence, they will stop violence. The chart there is very illuminating, the gentleman's chart, which points out that in September to December of last year there were nine terrorist incidents and 66 Israelis were killed, the equivalent of more than one 9/11 for the state of Israel, that Fatah itself, Arafat's organization, claimed responsibility for nine incidents. In January to April, when 99 Israelis were killed, several 9/11s, 67 were claimed by Fatah. Sixty-eight percent of this is suicide bombers were directly claimed by an organizational structure that reports to Arafat, that the members of that structure report to Arafat, and yet Arafat says he has no relationship with that structure. It is not credible. It is not believable are. It is not the truth.”
