...would not invite Yasser Arafat to anything, anywhere, anytime, any place. I don't forget," the Mayor said. Forget what? That some Palestinian henchperson, of which Yasser wasn't even one, killed the American Jew Leon Klinghoffer on the cruise ship Achille Lauro a decade ago? Or that other Palestinians, even if they were sent by the organization over which he had full control, murdered the entire Israeli Olympic team at Munich...
