"Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has held out an olive branch to Israel, saying it has a right to live in security alongside a future Palestinian state and calling for an end to bloodshed."

Has Arafat been reading [1] The Onion?

The headline on this story is "[2] Arafat happy with Israel as neighbour."

I wonder if he would be neighborly enough to stop people from blowing themselves up in restaurants and buses.
