They are what they are. Arafat, he was not a terrorist 10 years ago or 5 years ago or a year. He is still a terrorist. He was engaged in terrorist activity continuously, and his words might sound nice at this point in time, but it is not ancient history to go back. Here is a document, a request from the Al Aqsa Martyr troops for money to the Palestinian Authority, and as shocking as each of the things are in terms of weapons, in terms of posters for suicide bombers, there is a specific request for 700 shekels, and I am reading it directly, this is for detonators for suicide bombers. We need every week five to nine explosive charges. Five to nine explosive charges every week, 700 shekels per week, directly to the PA by Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, people who are literally perpetrating the suicide bombs.
