Arafat The Capitalist
 
We all know Yassir Arafat is a terrorist and thief, but capitalist?

Palestinian businessmen have made millions of pounds supplying cement for Israel's "security barrier" in the full knowledge of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader and one of the wall's most vocal critics.
A damning report by Palestinian legislators, which has been seen by the Telegraph, concludes that Mr Arafat did nothing to stop the deals although he
publicly condemned the structure as a "crime against humanity".

The report claims that the cement was sold with the knowledge of senior officials at the Palestinian ministry of national economy, and close advisers to Mr Arafat. It concludes that officials were bribed to issue import licences for the cement to importers and businessmen working for Israelis.

 
One of the only Arab governments trading with Israel happen to be Arafat's. What about the Palestinian supporters out there screaming to tear down the wall? They're sure going to look stupid.
