Thom Holwerda's Journal: Yasser Arafat, Rest In Peace

Yasser Arafat, President Of The Palestinian Authority, has passed away. His death was confirmed by the Palestinian Authority and hospital officials.

This is sad news. Arafat was no goody twoshoes, but he was someone who fought against the illegitimate occupation of his nation; he struggled for a free Palestine, where Muslims, Jews and Christians could live side by side.

I support this cause, I always have. Israel has no right to exist; they are a terrorist state oppressing the Palestian people.

Yasser Arafat, rest in peace. The struggle continues, free Palestine.
