These shameful events have humiliated the Arab world
Saddam's trial and mob execution reeked of western double standards. Yet Iraq's neighbouring states failed to speak out
No doubt the Red Guardian liked it better when the Iraqis were hanging Jews in the main square of Baghdad to cheers of tens of thousands.
OK, maybe a cheap shot but the author of the article Ghada Karmi did write this two years ago.
Whatever Arafat's faults this is no time to rehearse them or fight over his succession. It is time to grieve the loss of a man who deserved a more fitting end, and to pay homage to one of the last of the great world leaders, a life-long patriot and fighter for the Palestinians, who gave them status in the world and a stake in their own future.
