I have to say, I did wonder about the Arafat and donkey comment. It sounded a little far fetched until I looked up under the PETA website and sure enough, there it is!
Blow up innocent people if you must but leave animals out of it.

While leaving the animals out of it of course is only fair not mentioning that "Oh, by the way leave the innocents out too" is almost as insane IMHO!
