I know this really shouldn’t be a laughing matter, but if you were going to make the sort of dark, ironic, film we’ve come to expect from Hollywood when it comes to the idea of American empire and all that (think Syriana, the Good Shepherd et al.) about the Israel-Palestinian “peace process” you’d have to end it with the scene of Arafat’s Nobel Peace Prize being looted from his compound by murderous Palestinian goons:

Enraged Fatah leaders on Saturday accused Hamas militiamen of looting the home of former Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat in Gaza City. “They stole almost everything inside the house, including Arafat’s Nobel Peace Prize medal,” said Ramallah-based Fatah spokesman Ahmed Abdel Rahman. “Hamas militiamen and gangsters blew up the main entrance to the house before storming it. They stole many of Arafat’s documents and files, gifts he had received from world leaders and even his military outfits.” Abdel Rahman said the attackers also raided the second floor of the house and stole the personal belongings of his widow, Suha, and daughter, Zahwa. “They stole all the widow’s clothes and shoes,” he added. “They also took Arafat’s pictures with his daughter.”

I bet “the widow” had a lot of shoes.
