The Item I am talking about is a report of a secret speech delivered by Yasir Arafat to a group of intifada and PLO leaders. The speech raises concern even before its authenticity can be confirmed. Arafat is quoted as saying: I want you to shoot from the ground or the air on every immigrant that believes that immigrating to our country is a picnic trip. Continuing on. he said: Dont say that the political process prevents us from carrying out military activity against the immigrants. whether they live in Jaffa or Jericho. My words are a direct command to you to open fire in order to stop the swarm of immigrants. * 0 0 Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that the entire article from the Arabiclanguage publication AIMuharar be printed in the RECORD at the conclusion of my remarks.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants are described as a 'swarm' and immigrating is described as a 'picnic trip'.
