WHY would Arafat be so adamant if he did not have someone to back him up and help him? Let's see, now, what do I know about the middle east deal...

Saddam Hussein has scud missiles.
Hussein funds palestinians in Gaza and West bank.
Hussein funds the Arab Liberation Front which is the Palestine guerrilla movement and sends to them Russian made anti aircraft guns.

Israel supported by Amerika with Apache helicopters.
Israel controls the Jordan River barrier.

The West bank is controlled by the Palestinian authority and Arab nations to the East.

Arafat undermines Barak, prior Israeli prime minister.

Hussein forges ties with Syria and Iran, putting troops on Syria's border to support Syria.The Syrian president, young Bashar Assad, who tries to make Iran and Iraq friends, he has scud missiles and poison gas warheads.

Saudia Arabia stops support of Arafat's P.L.O.

Iraq conquered Kuwait, America "liberated" it.

They are being fanned by an invisible power??
