Reacting to a recent report in Ha’aretz, Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton Klein said yesterday that Arafat’s \"so-called jails are a complete fraud.\" According to Ha\'aretz, the bombs that murdered two American citizens in Israel in 1997 and wounded 11 other Americans were constructed by two Arab terrorists while they were \"imprisoned\" in Arafat\'s Jericho jail.
In a press statement, Klein noted that Palestinian-Arab terrorists who have murdered Americans and Israelis are still living freely in Arafat-controlled territory. The ZOA president urged the Bush administration to demand that Arafat surrender all those involved in attacks on Americans for prosecution in the United States, just as the U.S. is demanding that the Taliban surrender Osama Bin Laden. Klein recommends that if Arafat refuses to do so, the U.S. should respond by ending all relations with his terrorist regime.
