Kerry earns the support of Yasser Arafat after already getting the anti-semitic Mahathir Mohamad on side…
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat is hoping John Kerry wins the presidential election in November, several Palestinian leaders told WorldNetDaily.
Arafat deputy and chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told WND in an exclusive interview that while “we do not involve ourselves in internal American politics,” at the same time “our region has been sliding deeper and deeper into chaos because of certain policies over the past few years, and this needs to change.”
While he would not directly endorse Kerry, it was clear Erekat was implying the PA wants a change in White House leadership: “If things continue the way they are, if certain policies toward our region are maintained in the years to come, there is going to be a lot of violence on both sides.”
A prominent Arafat aide who asked that his name be withheld spoke to WorldNetDaily from Arafat’s battered Ramallah compound.
“The president [Arafat] is frustrated with Bush’s policies,” he said. “The president [Arafat] thinks Kerry will be much better for the Palestinian cause and for the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
Just last week, Kerry got the endorsement of Muslim leader Dr Mahathir Mohamad who retired last year as Malaysian premier mired in controversy after telling a summit of Muslim leaders that “Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them’.
The remarks drew condemnation from Western leaders. Kerry has been working to distance himself from that endorsement, choosing instead to highlight the endorsement of Sean Penn and Jon Stewart and Michael Moore.
