UN surges to Arafat's defence: "The UN demanded that Israel drop its threat to remove the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, by an overwhelmingly majority yesterday, thus isolating Israel and the US.
The general assembly voted 133-4 the day after President Bush blamed Mr Arafat for undermining the current round of peace negotiations, which have been stalled by renewed violence. "

Wasn't Bush saying yesterday that when the Palestinian's had a leader who renounced violence, the world would gather to support them? Well, clearly the world has spoken a different message today. Bush should listen.
