I agree with Netanyahu, give him a one way plane ticket. Let me just give you some select quotes.
<<
AMANPOUR: Secretary of State Colin Powell has spoken to you, I understand. He has also spoken publicly. He called on you to rein in the violence. What do you make of that statement, and can you and will you rein in that violence?
ARAFAT: Are you asking me while I am under complete siege? You are a wonderful journalist. You have to respect your profession.
AMANPOUR: Mr. Arafat, I'm simply asking you a question. Are you able to rein in the violence?
ARAFAT: You have to be accurate when you are speaking with General Yasser Arafat. Be quiet! You are covering, with such questions, the terrorist activities of the Israeli occupation and the Israeli crimes. Be fair. Why do you make these certain mistakes?
Thank you. Bye, bye.

Note, he is specifically avoiding the question, and is accusing her of avoiding the "real issue".
<<
AMANPOUR: Can you tell me please, have the rooms that you are sitting in been attacked? Are you under direct physical threat right now?
ARAFAT: It seems that you are not following the TVs all over the world. They have destroyed completely seven of our buildings, completely, around my office and pounded my office with all their armaments. What do you expect?
They have to understand that it is the Palestinian people who are facing this challenge. And we are sure that our people will continue their (steadfastness) in the face of this terrorism.
(Israel) is the real terrorist of the occupation. And especially they are using now all the American weapons against us -- F-15s and F-16s and . . . rockets and bombers and artillery and everything.

Being rude to your interviewee, is terrible strategy. Not to mention he never addresses why Israel does this. Just that Israel is pure evil.
He also stated earlier today
<<
Arafat: Speaking by telephone to Al Jazeera television, Arafat said he hopes the Israeli operation will make him into a martyr.
"They either want to kill me, or capture me, or expel me," he said, speaking from his Ramallah headquarters.
"I hope I will be a martyr in the Holy Land..."

Ship him out, and be quick about it.
