Arafat reacts to the accusations that he's been robbing his people
""It's indecent," Arafat reacted angrily in a statement to the Qatar-based satellite television Al-Jazeera, protesting that he and Abu Mazen were being accused of stealing.

"Imagine to what depths (the Israelis) have sunk," he said.

[...] "It is a part of the war that Israel has declared against the Palestinian people and the Palestinian leadership," he said."

I'm visually imagining him saying all this, and all I can think of is Toad in "Wind in the Willows" (by Kenneth Grahame). Wouldn't he be just perfect for the part?

Thank you again, Fred. This time for introducing me to Arabia.com
