Many equate Rudy so-called toughness on terror with his tossing of Arafat at Lincoln Center, though the rest of the story is afterward he sat and broke bread with Indonesian dictator Suharto, who was responsible for the deaths of over 200,000 East Timorese in 1975 as well as over 500,000 Indonesians .

He also paraded around Little Italy with Mussolini's Granddaughter, a member of the Italian Fascist party. Little critique of this, one could only imagine the outrage if say Dinkins broke bread with Mobutu or Koch with a far-right Israeli Moledet party member. He also kowtows to far-right terrorists supporting Cuban exiles.
