FOR SHAME!

U.S. State Department Whitewashes
Yasir Arafat's Bloody Hands

In May 2002, the U.S. State Department issued two reports on terrorism in the
Middle East and around the world.
Both reports whitewash the overwhelming evidence that Yasir Arafat has been the
leader of the ongoing Palestinian Arab terrorist campaign.
This whitewash undermines President Bush's declard policy of zero tolerance
for terrorism.

Whitewashing Arafat's
Role in Murdering Jews:

Whitewashing Arafat's
Terror Gangs:

The State Department reports note that "elements with
varying degrees of affiliation" with Arafat-controlled groups
committed "acts of violence," but the reports then assert
"There is no conclusive evidence that these elements acted
with the prior approval and encouragement of the PLO and
PA leaderships." Incredibly, the reports ignore the
truckloads of evidence found by Israel in Palestinian
Authority (PA) offices in April 2002, including numerous
documents signed by Arafat, in which he orders terrorism
and pays individual terrorists.

Thekbtate Department reports ac- knowledge that much of
the terrorism has been carried out by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigade and the Tanzim, but it refuses to admit that these
groups are part and parcel of Arafat's own Fatah group-even
though Al Aqsa leader Maslama Thabet has said, "Our
group is an integral part of Fatah" and "it is following the
orders of Yasser Arafat"; and Fatah leader Marwan
Barghouti has said the Tanzim "are part of the Fatah
organization."

Whitewashing Arafat's
Ship of Terror:

Whitewashing Arafat's
Words of War:

The State Department reports ignore the culture of anti-
Jewish hatred and violence in Arafat's school textbooks,
summer camps, and sermons by Arafat's clergy. The
reports quote Arafat claiming to want peace, but do not
quote any of Arafatt speeches calling for jihad (Islamic holy
war); urging "one million martyrs to march to: Jerusalem";
and assuring Arab audiences that he adheres to the PLO's
1974 strategy of destroying Israel in phases.

- URGE PRESIDENT BUSH:

Whitewashing Arafat's Promotion. of Terror:

The State Department reports ignore the fact that Arafat and
his aides praise terrorists as "heroes" and "martyrs.' Arafat's
regime provides financial rewards to the families of
terrorists, and it also channels Iraqi and Saudi payments of
over $30,000 to each family of a suicide bomber. And
streets and parks in Arafat's territory are named after
prominent terrorists.

The State Department reports refer to the Israeli capture, in
January 2002, of the Karine-A, the PA's Ship of Terror
carrying 50 tons of Iranian weapons bound for the PA. Yet
they mfuse to acknowledge the PA's role in the ship, in spite
of the fact that the ship had been purchased by the Arafat's
chief financial officer, manned by Palestinian Authority naval
officers, and that the captain admitted the PA leadership
organized the ship.
