Dov Fischer, writing on the West Bank for NRO, has a few pointed words for “Chairman” Arafunk:

The Likud Central Committee vote is a harbinger of a Jewish nation that is taking its patrimony off the chopping block. Perhaps Chairman Arafat should look to the Kingdom of Jordan for the land of his Palestine. That country, itself an historically recent creation, is built on 78 percent of the ‘Palestine Mandate.’ At least 1,700,000 Palestinian Arabs live in Jordan, more than in any other country. The queen is a Palestinian Arab. And the majority of all Jordanians are Palestinian Arabs. Why shouldn’t King Abdullah offer territorial compromise, taking a risk for peace and making a gesture towards the queen? Yasser Arafat told President Clinton in September 1999 that he has proof there never was a Jewish Temple on the Jerusalem Temple Mount. Maybe it is time to apprise Arafat that, when he tells Americans there never were Jews at the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, he is denying not one but both prongs of our nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

Interesting stuff.
