Default Re: BBC, TIME Magazine, ADL articles and quotes.

"He [Arafat] has endorsed to two single women who blew themselves up." Really? What words of "endorsement" did Arafat actually use and why doesn't your source cite them?

Because the Arafat's "endorsement" is propaganda spin (it probably relates to an alleged Fatah demonstration by Palestinian girls). Here's how Arafat actually "endorses" suicide bombing:

"No degree of oppression and no level of desperation can ever justify the killing of innocent civilians. I condemn terrorism. I condemn the killing of innocent civilians, whether they are Israeli, American or Palestinian."

Yasser Arafat, NY Times, 2/3/2
