AFP. 1 May 2002. Arafat compares Jenin battle to Stalingrad. JERUSALEM -- Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on Thursday compared fighting in the Jenin refugee camp to the devastating World War II battle of Stalingrad that destroyed the former Soviet city and killed more than 600,000 people. "Jenin has turned into Jeningrad, instead of Stalingrad. Remember something like that, Stalingrad? Now, Jeningrad," Arafat told CNN shortly after Israeli troops lifted their month-long siege of his Ramallah office. Speaking in a firm voice but looking pale, Arafat said he intended to visit areas of the West Bank to see for himself the impact of Sharon's armed incursions, which he described as a "crime." "If the opportunity was open again, and the tanks were not around me in the morning again, I will go and see what happened in our cities and towns, the disasters and crimes," said Arafat. But Arafat noted that travel to other countries "is not the first item for me. I want to go and see, and shake hands with my people who have suffered (from) crimes." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
