Interesting. As is the following : If you were to visit www.fateh.net, the Web site of Al-Fatah, Arafat's faction of the PLO, and understood Arabic so that you could navigate it, the first image you see is the Fatah emblem: a map of "Palestine" behind crossed guns and above a grenade. But the country depicted is Israel, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. (On the same Web site you can read the Fatah constitution, which says the organization's goal is the "complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist . . . existence.")

Fatah isn't the only PLO faction whose emblem features a map of Palestine that comprises all of Israel. Most of them do, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Palestine Liberation Front, Al-Saika, and the PLO itself. (You can see the PFLP logo at www.pflp-palestine.org ).

He's dead. And, for the record, the map of Israel includes all of Palestine.
