Yasser Arafat must feel utter contempt for the United States. He knows that we know that he has murdered many Americans. And because the State Department thinks there are advantages in not rocking the boat with the Islamic world, the United States has turned a blind eye toward the wanton murder of her own citizens. The message which is conveyed is very clear: "Terror Pays." And now, Arafat's ultimate "reward" is the promise of a PalestinianState on Bible land.

Why, dear listeners, did James Welsh change his mind at the very last minute about being a guest on the Women in Green Radio Program? Especially, since he had been quite enthusiastic to have a platform to express his concerns? I will let you draw your own conclusions!

It certainly appears to be part of the same pressures that prevailed in covering up the Welsh revelations all along. There are powerful forces out there that do not want Arafat to be punished, legally or politically, for giving the order to execute Ambassador Cleo Noel and G. Curtis Moore in Khartoum in 1973, and all his other numerous lethal attacks on Americans throughout the years.

We are left with this central question: Why does the State Department and Colin Powell continue to dance with the arch murderer Arafat? Why does the United States not bring Arafat to justice? As President George W. Bush recently said so eloquently: "The goal of the war on terrorism is to bring our enemies to justice, or justice to our enemies."

By rewarding Arafat and not bringing him to justice we are encouraging terrorists all over the world like Osama bin Laden to commit further and greater acts of terror.

Good night, dear friends. May G-d protect you. Have a very safe week.

So it was that for 33 years, under seven consecutive presidential administrations, the State Department denied any knowledge of involvement by Arafat or Fatah in the execution of its own people. To remind you, these seven presidential administrations are:

*Richard Nixon 1969 – 1975
*Gerald Ford 1975 – 1977
*Jimmy Carter 1977 – 1981
*Ronald Reagan 1981 – 1989
*George H. W. Bush 1989 – 1993
*Bill Clinton 1993 – 2001
*George W. Bush 2001 – present

Jimmy Carter, for instance, really did not like the Jews. In fact, Jimmy Carter was hostile to Israel. The historian Douglas Brinkley provides a detailed account of President Carter helping Palestinian terror chief Yasser Arafat polish his image. Carter, according to Brinkley, regularly advised Arafat on how to shape his message for Western journalists and even wrote some speeches for Arafat.

George H. W. Bush, the present president’s father, chose as his trusted Secretary of State, James Baker, who is famous for his less-than-statesman-like quote, “F - - k the Jews! They don't vote for us anyhow.”

These presidents no doubt knew about the State Department’s cover up of the fact that Arafat personally ordered these murders. Arafat could never have succeeded in creating his make-believe persona of being a great peacemaker, without the cooperation of the US government and media. Arafat received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 together with Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres due to the insistence of American President Bill Clinton. Arafat was a frequent and honored guest at the White House during Bill Clinton’s presidency.

October 6, 2001, President George W. Bush, the son of George H. W. Bush, made a shocking statement, “A Palestinian State has ‘always’ been part of the United States vision.” Thus, he officially endorsed, on behalf of the United States, the creation of a PalestinianState. President Bush, chose as his Secretary of State, Colin Powell, who is famous for his remark to a Senate Committee about Arafat, “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”

WHAT IF THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO KEEP ONE PARTICULAR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET FROM THE REST OF US FOR 33 YEARS?

The relationship between the United States and the Arab world might have been entirely different. Because of this cover up, instead of being tried for murder, Arafat was glorified as an international leader who even received the Nobel Peace Prize, and the promise of a PalestinianState carved out of the tiny State of Israel. In the words of one of my favorite columnists, Caroline Glick, in an article entitled, “The Longest-Running Big Lie”, published in the Jerusalem Post, January 2, 2007, she writes:

"How many lives would have been saved if the US had not been intent on upholding Arafat's big lie? How would such a US policy have impacted the subsequent development of sister terror organizations like Hizbullah, al-Qaida and Hamas, all of which were founded by members of Arafat's terror industry?

"Sadly, the release of the cable did not in any way signal a change in the US policy of whitewashing Fatah. In contravention of US law, for the past 13 years, the State Department has been denying that Fatah, the PLO and the Palestinian Authority are terrorist organizations, and has been actively funding them with US taxpayer dollars.

"This policy went on, unchanged even after Fatah gunmen murdered three US embassy employees in Gaza in October 2003. This policy continues, unchanged still today, as Fatah's current leader, Arafat's deputy of 40 years Mahmoud Abbas works to form a unity government with Hamas. Indeed, the central component of the US's policy towards the Palestinians today is the goal of strengthening Fatah by arming, training and funding its Force 17 terror militia.

"In a November 14, 2006 interview on Palestinian television, Ahmed Hales Abu Maher who serves as Secretary of Fatah in Gaza, bragged of Fatah's role in the development of international terrorism. In his words, reported by Palestinian Media Watch, "Oh warrior brothers, this is a nation that will never be broken, it is a revolution that will never be defeated. This is a nation that gives an example every day that is imitated across the world. We gave the world the children of the RPG [Rocket Propelled Grenades], we gave the world the children stone [-throwers], and we gave the world the male and female Martyrdom-Seekers [suicide bombers]."

"Imagine what the world would have looked like if, rather than clinging to Arafat's big lie that he and his Fatah terror organization were central components of Middle East peace, the US had captured and tried Arafat for murdering its diplomats and worked steadily to destroy Fatah.

"Imagine how our future would look if rather than stealthily admitting the truth, while trusting the media not to take notice, the US government were to base its current policies on the truth, and the media were to reveal this truth to the world."
