GAZA, November 8, 2004, (WAFA)- WAFA political editor wrote: The
Palestinian people have the right to know the fact with all details. They
have the right to know the secrets that every body is interested in.
.
The citizens of Jerusalem, Jenin, Gaza, and all cities and camp have the
right to know what is going on, they want to know why all of this
mysteriousness on the health and the fate of their President.
.
For future, every child has to know what is going on, and for digging
history, every oldman has to know, because the matter is about Yasser Arafat
whom the Palestinian people elected him as a symbol, legitimate leader.
.
It is our right to ask the Palestinian Leadership, who rules now according
to law and constitution, to initiate a political act. It is not a personal
matter, it is not connected with the mood of an individual or a group. It is
the more comprehensive issue in the eyes of the Palestinian people
everywhere.
.
This time, the Palestinian Leadership has to go straight to Paris to be
close to what is going on, and to exactly understand whether Mr. President
was poisoned or not, especially after the physicians assured, through the
advanced analysis, that he suffers no organic diseases.
.
We have the right to know the type, the source of the poison as well as the
antidote and how to get it. We have to know whether the matter reached to an
irreversible position, or we still have glimpse of hope?
We hope the French to talk, it is not a personal matter, it is a general
affair that hits every one of the Palestinian people who stands on pins and
needles, ten days ago, hopefully waiting for the truth of their President's
health.
.
Truth has never hidden for ever, at the end it should be uncovered for the
sake of solid history and values against the nose of the foul.
.
It is a strange case, since it is in such a planned confusion, we ask for an
investigation and want to know who passed the poison, which kind of poison.
It is unbelievable that the immorality reaches to a point to put poison for
the sake of wiping a man who occupies a critical place on the international
political stage.
.
For the sake of our history we must know. The Palestinian people should
stand shoulder-to-shoulder to know the truth and to write down it in our
books and to teach our children. We will teach them that "our French friends
did not deceive us, they were fair and true".
.
This time, we have the right to ask the Palestinian Leadership to head to
the hospital and let the issue not to be milted in the pot of a silly
argument that may blow out the candle.
.
It is obvious that no one is ambitious for a leadership controlled and
operated by Yasser Arafat, especially in the case of the complicated
Palestinian problem and an enemy fights even with poison.
.
No doubt that Arafat is a great leader. But he is human, lives and dies.
With such soul of brave and believers, we either to absorb the fate or to
live as political orphans do not deserve life.
