The title of this article should have been Arafats Lasting Threat to Israel. While its hard to disagree w Mr. Pipes, its also clear that the minds of the Palestinian youth, and there are hordes of them, have been so poisoned by their indoctrination that peace, irrespective of leadership (or lack thereof) is unlikely to blossom in the region anytime soon. Furthermore, this martial mentality is genetic; it is passed from one generation to the next. Peace? Not in the next 100 years!
