Quite.  Just what Israel is doing to the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza strip.

Add Palestine to that list.

The sentiment is mutual.  Your generalistation of pretty much everyone in the occupied territories as "enemy combatants" is simply outrageous.

As for calling Arafat a "major barrier to peace", Ariel Sharon is the biggest barrier to peace in the region.  As long as he is involved there's no hope for any reasonable settlement of the dispute.
