“This is from the New York Times, April 15. This is from Chairman Arafat's wife. And I think it is so strange to us that a mother could say this, but this is what Yasser Arafat and his wife are teaching. "If she had a son, there would be no greater honor than to sacrifice him for the Palestinian cause. 'Would you expect me or my children to be less patriotic and more eager to live than my countrymen and their father, we who are seeking martyrdom?'" And, again, martyrdom means being a suicide bomber, a mother of a leader of a group. And I question whether or not he is a leader because one of the things that is interesting in your comments and one of the things of visiting and talking to people in Israel, is that as evil and as awful and as horrific as Yasser Arafat has been to Israelis, he has been as bad to his own people. They have indiscriminately killed Palestinians. They have destroyed an economy. There is no freedom. There is fear. The demolishment. And it is a people that does have a future. But it does not have a future with Yasser Arafat.”
