Set Arafat’s Record Straight!

Please continue your efforts to promote responsible reporting about Arafat and his legacy.  Protest whitewashed reports and commentaries that ignore or minimize his decades-long involvement in terror, his goal of destroying Israel, and his siphoning of hundreds of millions of dollars from donations to  the Palestinian people that went instead into his own private accounts. Commend fair and objective reporting that provides adequate context.

Below, we have listed a number of resources to help you write effectively about Arafat’s legacy of terror, hatred and dashed hopes.
