I Dream of Martyrdom (Just Not Mine)

According to Reuters, Afatrat wants to be a martyr.

Speaking to Reuters in his partly demolished West Bank headquarters on Wednesday, Arafat pointed to his machinegun lying on the floor and said he would use it to kill himself if Israel tried to deport or assassinate him.

“I am a Palestinian soldier…I will use my gun to defend not only myself but also defend every Palestinian child, woman and man and to defend the Palestinian existence,” the 74-year-old former guerrilla leader said.

“Is there anyone in Palestine who does not dream of martyrdom?” Arafat asked.

Well, it seems that he will need to use the machine gun if he wants to defend the palestinian children, woman and men – at least the ones he is cowardly using as human shields:

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat’s men are surrounding his office with women and children as a human shield against an Israeli attempt to assassinate or deport him, Israeli security sources said Wednesday.

The sources said Arafat’s men have asked senior Fatah activists and members of the Palestinian security mechanisms to “volunteer” their families for a permanent vigil of womenand children, which will obstruct any attempt to harm Arafat.

So much for being a martyr. Once again, Afatrat is proving not only what a liar he is, but also the depth of his “love” for his people.
