"The Spanish government expresses its great sadness at the death of Yasser Arafat, the president of the Palestinian National Authority, and winner of the Nobel peace prize," the statement read.
"Arafat's charismatic personality, the international status that he gave to the Palestinian nation and his unrelenting fight for recognition for his people makes him one of the most relevant leaders of our time," the statement read.
The statement that appeared on the Spanish Foreign Ministry's web-site said that "at this time we should remember that Yasser Arafat, along with Yitzhak Rabin, moved the Oslo accords forward. These agreements represented one of the more encouraging steps in the long and difficult path towards finding a solution to the Palestinian -Israeli conflict."
But why stop there? By all means, let us not forget that Hilter shared the same kind of "charismatic personality." Let us also not forget Arafat’s contribution to terrorism: school bus massacres, school sieges, bus bombings, restaurant bombings, mall and market bombings, hijacking of planes, child suicide bombers. Let us not forget that the cheques were sent to the families of suicide bombers in payment for destruction and mayhem, or who paid for the arms that are routinely smuggled in from the tunnels of Gaza, or who tried to smuggle in arms on ships. These events all happened after the Oslo Accord was signed.
