Kesher Talk

Yasser Arafat's job search: Stephen Sharkansky has found an interesting divergence between the English and Arabic versions of Arafat's resume.

And in other news, the head of Israeli military intelligence, General Aharon Zeevi Farkash, just disclosed that Arafat's personal stash of cash (EU euros and CIA/State Dept. dollars, of course) consists of about 1.3 billion American dollars. Farkash explained this during a meeting of the Knesset's Security and Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday.

The Jerusalem Post also offers a list of suggestions for "What $1.3b could do" for Palestine.
