"ARAFAT ENDORSES KERRY"
Jim Bramlett, jbramlett@earthlink.net, Oct 19, 2004
Dear friends:
In the spiritual warfare currently facing America in its Presidential election, it's interesting to see who is choosing which side of the battle.
Supporters of John F. Kerry should find new hope and comfort in a report today from WorldNetDaily headlined, "Yasser Arafat endorses Kerry." See http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40988
WND reveals:
A prominent Arafat aide who asked that his name be withheld spoke to WorldNetDaily from Arafat's battered Ramallah compound.
"The president [Arafat] is frustrated with Bush's policies," he said. "The president [Arafat] thinks Kerry will be much better for the Palestinian cause and for the establishment of a Palestinian state" ....
Israel Military Intelligence Chief Maj. Gen. Aharon Ze'evi has warned Arafat is biding his time until November, when the Palestinian leader hopes President Bush will be voted out of office and Ariel Sharon's coalition government will fall.
"Arafat is waiting for November in the hope George Bush will lose the election to John Kerry," Ze'evi told Army Radio in July. "He also hopes that the Israeli government will fall, so he can take center stage diplomatically"...
Many Israeli and American Jewish leaders have been expressing concern that a Kerry administration will cause more violence in the Middle East and could bring Arafat back to power. They say they are worried about Kerry's statements of coordinating American foreign policy with the Europeans, some of whom favor talks with Arafat, and are disturbed by Kerry's appointment of several former Clinton Mideast policy directors as advisers, particularly former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk.
