ARAFAT page 34

leagues felt "trapped" by the ac-
cord with Israel: "We thought
that with this agreement, how-
ever, limited, we would begin to
realize our dream, but the
dream has become a nightmare.
We need him, but we have to
oppose him at the same time.
But when we do that, he black-
mails us."
The despair of the Arafat en-
tourage, wrote Mr. Hirst, is not
without a measure of self-crit-
icism: "Arafat," said one aide,
"is a reflection of ourselves, of
all our weaknesses, contradic-
tions, personal and factional in-
terests."
Another, who traveled with
the Arafat entourage to Paris,
recalled the aftermath of a
shopping expedition by Suha
Arafat:
"I can see her now, boarding
the plane with all her Louis Fer-
aud packages. Can you imagine
what our Gazan refugee's would
think if they knew about it?"
Making his first official vis-
it to London, a visit that was
heavy in symbolism given
Britain's historic role in the re-
gion, Chairman Arafat was
reported by aides to be "dev-
astated" that questions about
his psychological state had been
raised in the Guardian, a news-
paper that has been a largely
uncritical cheerleader of the
Palestinian cause.
British journalists who
sought to test Chairman
Arafat's stability emerged
shocked by the experience. In-
terviewed on BBC-TV's presti-
gious "Newsnight" current
affairs program, he allowed his
affable mask to fall perceptibly
when he was persistently ques-
tioned about disaffection with-
in his own Fatah ranks over his
autocratic leadership style and
his insistence on retaining ex-
clusive control of the PLO's
finances.
At one point he turned on his
interviewer: "You are trying to
squeeze me," he said, his face
contorted in anger. "Not to con-
tinue squeezing me. This is an
attempt to interfere in our in-
terior (sic) affairs. I can imag-
ine you have the right to do so,
but you have to respect our
independence."
For most, proof that some-
thing was seriously wrong came
when Chairman Arafat corn-
pared his suffering to that of
Jesus: "Even the Messiah, peace
be upon him, did not convince
many people during his life-
time," he said.
The PLO leader's two-day
visit to London, timed to coin-
cide with the "sacred date"
when Palestinian self-rule
should have taken its first ten-
tative steps in Jericho and
Gaza, was intended to be a
triumphal occasion.
Instead, it turned into
scorn. ❑
