Arafat Blocks 'Recall Arafat' Referendum

(2003-10-09) -- Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestinian Authority (PA), today blocked an effort to put a 'Recall Arafat' referendum on the ballot. Supporters of the recall say they will appeal the decision to Mr. Arafat, and if necessary will pursue their appeal all the way up to Yasser Arafat himself.

The decision comes during a day when another hand-picked Palestinian Prime Minister has said he wants to quit because of disagreements with Mr. Arafat about dismantling terrorist groups operating under the protection of the PA.

"This recall effort was unconstitutional," said Mr. Arafat. "Today I have restored stability to our government. I have consulted with every important Palestinian leader, and I can confidently report that I approve of my decision completely."

There's a big surprise. I thought they had more direct ways of making people they don't like go away over there.

He's not trolling. Refer to my Palestinians Choose Their Leaders thread.

I don't see how anybody can deny that Arafat is a dictator.
