OPINION:
The term chutzpah is best explained by the example of the boy who murdered both his mother and father and then asked the judge for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan. Saeb Erekat, a top official in the Palestinian Authority, is giving that example a run for its money. Mr. Erekat has long accused Israel of genocide — but recently checked into an Israeli hospital for medical treatment.
Adding further to the mockery is the fact that Arab citizens of Israel have the highest life expectancy in the Arab Muslim world. Their life expectancy is higher, even, than the life expectancy in such wealthy countries as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. In fact, it is equal to that of the general U.S. population.
