The rumor goes that if any of the Palestinian security men or bodyguards for Arafat discovered Arafat had signed an accord with Barack at Camp David, they were under a solemn command to assassinate Arafat right on the spot.
And the rumor further suggests that Arafat knew the fate that would await him should he ever make peace with the Jews.
The Sadat assassination in 1981 is a message from the Muslim Brotherhood to every Muslim leader.
And it's a message every Muslim leader knows very well.
Yup, you are absolutely right. Even Arafat said that he would be 'drinking tea with Rabin' if he had signed the deal.
The same goes for Abbas. His life would be in danger if he signs a deal with Israel. There are too many terrorist extremists out there who think that Jihad is the only way with Israel.
