The thought of this monsters death leaves me drunk with happiness.

I have a Eulogy, well, more of a him. Not a hymn. but a HIM:

Himmm

Fuck Himmm ...

Roast in hell you terrorist bastard!

This man does not deserve one. Let's celebrate the movement toward peace for the Isralies!

I'll bet anyone that Israel will foolishly allow itself to be pressured into releasing murderers as a "good will" gesture to the new impotent Palestinian regime.

Heres another one for the list

What a freekin loser

Who wants candy? Wicked Witch of Gaza is dead!!!

Here's one:

With great sorrow, we remember him and mourn the fact that he didn't die 40 years sooner.

As I was watching the touching retrospectives on this EVIL MURDEROUS SCUMBAG on TV last night, I had a vision of bin Laden dying peacefully in a French hospital 20 years from now ...

How have we reached the point that TERRORISTS are legitimized?!

Murderers and terrorists do NOT rest in Peace.

Purgatory's new citizen ought to be sweating good right now...

He had his chance to do SOMETHING in 2000, and preferring anarchy to order...he lost and is dead, and is worthless.

May his 72 virgins be AIDS infected like him.

Think you are right, Will the B!

Oh goody, another thread about Arafat.

THE BLOODY MONSTER IS DEAD!

May his
Followers,
Supporters,
Sympathisers and
Appeasers
join him in HELL.

Oh, I mourn somethin' alright. I mourn the fact that the sh*thead died (relatively) peacefully, rather than being atomized into a pink mist by an Israeli Hellfire missile.

I also mourn the fact that there are people in America so deluded as to believe he was anything other than a genocidal despot who deserves utter disgust, rather than any sort of respect.

French President Jacques Chirac visited the Percy military hospital to bid a final farewell to Arafat,Percy

French Military hospital named "Percy"? HAHAHAHH! LMAO!

What else? A French Military base "Dandelion"? or "Kittenpaws" ?

Burn baby burn...Disco Inferno!!!

Yes I am posting this on all Arafat threads today.

Does anyone know where we can send a note to the Pres. or other officials urging them not to send a representative to this monster's funeral? I don't want my government giving these people a pass on this one.

Mom

Mourning Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli cars to vent their grief at the death of their long-time leader at age 75 in a Paris hospital.

So civilized.

Cannot believe how the MSM actually makes it seem like there is a door open to burial in The Holy City.

Apparently, the word 'never' is not registering in their reports.

Idiots.

Crocodile tears...does that mean we can feed him to the crocodiles?

Wow. Jacques Ch-Iraq bowing to a terrorist murderer.

Shocking.

Next thing you know, Jimmy Carter will be paying homage to Arafish.

Oh wait. He already did.

Bad last 10 days for the libs. Lost election, dead terrorists
all over the place, moon not really made of cheese.

Hope there are more trauma centers open in Boca.

By signing the 1993 Oslo peace accords, Arafat “took a giant step towards the realization of this vision. It is tragic that he did not live to see it fulfilled.”

That's true. His vision was the eradication of Israel, preferably through the wanton slaughter of every Jew living there. Signing Oslo, going through the process of talking about peace, gave him the blessing to commit genocide with immunity from outside influence. Well, save from all the assistance flowing in to help with the slaughter.

For now, Israel is still alive, as are most of the Jews. That's the "tragedy" that Kofi sees.

#4 Joel

I'll bet anyone that Israel will foolishly allow itself to be pressured into releasing murderers as a "good will" gesture to the new impotent Palestinian regime.

You lost. It was announced yesterday that Israel would release murderers 'to boost moderates', not as a "good will" gesture.

Yasser the squanderer, the murderer.
The worst that ever happenned to the Pals.

Pray for a new movement of peace.

One can only wish that a rocket is somehow misfired at his corpse-carrying helicopter.
THAT would be a great film to show on Al Jazeera.

One last carswarm!!!
And one Daisy Cutter, deftly placed...

No more terrorists!

*+*

It's not a shame that he's dead, it's a shame he managed to live long enough to die from natural causes. He should have taken an Israeli or American 7.62mm rifle bullet between his fishy eyeballs long ago. I remember as a 12 year old watching in horror as the Munich Olympic Massacre unfolded. He was the Godfather of airline hijackings. CAIR and their ilk whine about why Arabs are stereotyped as terrorists-and manage to blame everybody except the one man responsible-Arafat.

Contact the White House.

I think Vincent D'Onofrio might be available as a rep, to his funeral, then he can stay there and take Baldwin, Streisand and any other moonbats they want.

The most fitting eulogy is the list of victims listed by the Israeli Dept. of Foreign Affairs. Nothing more need be said.

Astonishing is the fact that the posted list only goes back to September 2000 !!! How long must this list be in reality? There is no stronger proof that the United States should always be a strong ally to Israel.

#9 The Keeper

I most certainly believe Arafat's soul is NOT in Purgatory. There's no chance for his soul to be there - undergoing purification before entering Heaven. This man's soul is most defintiely burning in the eternal fires of Hell.

It's ironic that he's being announced as dead today, Veteran's Day. To me it means that I'll always remember our Vets, not that goat's demise.

UN flags at half-mast?!

I think I'm going to be sick.

Charles, thank you for the link to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affair's list of victims since September of 2000.

I wish all the left wing Protestant churches would have this site linked on their web sites instead of all the anti-Israeli ones they have.

Half-mast? They didn't fly the flags at half-mast when al-Nahayan died - a real president of a real country, did they?

Did they fly them at half-mast for Reagan, or is that an honor now reserved for Castro?

UN is just a bunch of whack MoFO's, what do you expect?

US out of the UN
UN out of the US

Colonel, I was in Europe during Munich as well, will never forget, about 13 myself.
For that and the Achille Lauro alone, he should fry in Hell.

And THAT?, gives them credibility for their own Homeland?!
While the country has been pilfered of anything and everything?!

They lost big, his people ought to be PO'd.

I'm thinking our government will have to send somebody. But probably a lower level token representative (we can hope). That would be kind of an insult to the fish.

Wait a minute ... that coughy anus can't order an American flag to fly at half-mast!

That has to come from the President, right?

Here's hoping ...

...putting on fresh Iwo Jima sticker today, on my dad's Caddy I inherited.
Also Troop Support stickers, and Orange County K-9 Police Supporter.

Anyone that helps this country inprove is worth a shout out, but today is reserved for all Uniformed services.

Cheers and Go with God.

And a flag on dad's grave, Korean War service, in support, never got a Commie kill, but helped.

THESE are the things to remember today, not the passing of another despot.

This is what I wrote today about Arafat:

For whom the bell tolls: John Donne wrote "any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind". Clearly, John Donne had never met Yasser Arafat. The death of this mass-murdering terrorist who robbed from his own people, suffused them with a culture of hate and brought them nothing but decades of misery is a cause for celebration, not sorrow. Unfortunately, the world will now luxuriate in a communal wallow--and don't we all love a good Princess of Wales wallow?--at the passing of this noted "statesman". Flowers will be laid, eulogies will be intoned with great solemnity, and BBC reporter Barbara Plett will no doubt dissolve into a puddle of salty tears. In the days ahead, journalists will labour mightily to tote up Arafat's pluses and minuses as a leader.

I can make it really easy for them. On the plus side, Arafat embodied the hopes of the Palestinian people as they embraced a "replacement nationality" that sought to eliminate and supplant the Jewish state.

On the minus side: same thing.

Burn in HELL Arafat. You were a fraud from the beginning. A gangster thug, a vile murderer, liar and embezzler.

I hope the Israeli Air Force splashes your plane in the Mediterranean before your rotting corpse even makes it to Cairo.

You deserve to be eaten by the crawling scavengers of the sea, eaten and shit by jackals and vultures. You most assuredly DO NOT deserve a funeral with honors, fake eulogies and crocodile tears and a headstone like a human being.

Your rotten pestilent flesh deserves to be splattered on the street like that of your countless vicitms.

You deserve a spit in hell next to your heroes Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot and mohammed.

May your soul roast in pig shit forever you evil fuck.

Most Sincerely.

#43 Thom

I would think that if one flaf is at half mast they would all go to half mast. Just a guess so it wouldnt suprise me if the US flag at the UNeeded was at half-mast.

Anyone who feels even the faintest twinge of sadness to hear of this shitbag's death is utterly without moral compass. This is a mass murderer, the father of modern terrorism. He differs from Hitler only in the resources that were available to him and the ability of his victims to fight back.
There is NO downside to his demise, except that it didn't happen at the end of a rope after a lawful trial- and that is a moral failing of the world, which instead rewarded his lifetime of sociopathy, violence and murder with the now-worthless Nobel Peace Prize.

Bummer.

Be cool if ONE flag, OURS, stayed high, far above the tainted masses.

What a horrible insult to all that the flag represents if it's at half-mast at the UN ...

Don't we all wish that Bush could get us out of the wretched, evil UN. :(

Sooner or later, we are going to have to stop all the PC crap and deal with what is at hand...WWIII...
Muslims vs. the Free World.

The UN is WORTHLESS, and it needs to be stopped as much as the Muslim terrorists do. Now. Right now. Right freaking now.

Bush won. America was blessed. Leftists are going nuts and killing themselves. Arafish bites the big one, AND I'm eating Chinese( Sesame chicken) for lunch. What a wonderful day, week, month, year, and life this is.

Now, if we can just kill a few thousand more "insurgents", nuke Iran to smithereens, and make Syria cower and surrender. Talk China into becoming a rep. republic, send Arafish's followers to Iraq and turn North Korea into another Afganistan...it'll be a terriffic world. Oh, and if I could sock Barbara Stupidstan in the jaw, too. That'd be sweet. What a leftist tool she is... geesh.

Oh, and btw - I may have said it before...but...

HAPPY FREAKING RAMADAN !

aloha snackbar too.
although I prefer allah snackbar...sounds like a call to munch.

Did I mention that allah was a broken moon rock?
DIE TERRORISTS, DIE !!!

This is just a thought.

I thought it might be prudent to cut off the Arafish head and bury that separately and then drive a stake through his heart. We wouldnt want him to punch through the grave like some kind of zombie on a stormy night.

Arye Eldad said something like this today (oaraphrased and from memory)

Yasser Arafat: Creator of the Palestinian people. He created them in his image. Murderer, Terrorist and Liar.

Bush's failure to make a speech condemning Arafat and expressing the American peoples' sincere wish that he be burning in hell is one of the great moral failures of his administration.
I voted for him but his reaction to the ARafat fiasco is making me sick.

I seem to have missed the dancing in the streets of Israel, the firing of guns, the celebration of thousands. Does anyone have a link to any video of this . . .

Oh, that's right, they're civilized.

My Greek Muse tells me that instead of using the word "eulogy", which means "good words", we could just use "curse," or "katara" in greek The literal opposite is "dyslogy" but it means dyslexia.

The chief of Intelligence in Communist Romania said after his dealings with arafat: "I never saw so much cleverness, blood and filth in one man". He added that after meeting him, he "wanted to take a shower".

A better epitaph than St. George's "God bless his soul"

(The 1908 Olympic Games) began almost immediately, when the U.S. delegation noticed that there was no American flag among the national flags decorating the stadium for the opening ceremonies. U.S. flag bearer and discus champion Martin Sheridan responded by refusing to dip the Stars and Stripes when he passed King Edward VII's box in the parade of athletes. “This flag dips to no earthly king,” Sheridan said. And it hasn't since.

There is precedence for the US flag not doing what other flags do.

Interesting:

Chirac finds time to kowtow to Arafat (Terrorist) but had "prior engagements" and couldn't attend the funeral of Ronald Reagan (Freedom Fighter). Everyday I am further convinced that Europe should be completely written off. It is nothing but a large theme park and museum.

#44 Thom

Wait a minute ... that coughy anus can't order an American flag to fly at half-mast!

That has to come from the President, right?

Here's hoping ...

For a nation wide lowering of flags, yes it has to come from the prez. Technically your not supposed to place a flag at half-mast unless the Prez order the country to, but most states put flags at half mast in that state to honor certain dignitaries and such.

In "honor" of Arafat's death, I am reprising the funeral dirge to be sung at his funeral by Sir Elton John (with thanks to Occasional Reader):

Goodbye, Arafish,
Just because we knew you so well
We're glad you're shuffling off
Down to the jaws of Hell.
You and your red binder
Chock full of those strategems
To use on Jews
In the Zionist Entity.
And it seems to me, you lived your life
Like a JEW-HATING MURDEROUS BLOOD-DRENCHED TERRORIST SWINE
In the winnnd.
Always knowing who to sing to
To keep those Eurodollars flowin' in.
Should have left you in Tunisia
Ah, but we such dumb Yids.
We fell for Oslo offers
Then you blew up our kids.

I'm afraid Arafat's death may create more problems than it solves. There is a reason he has been allowed to live so long. I fear that reason is the Israelis saw him as their best hope against the establishment of a Pal state.

Already the pressure is building on Israel to make nice with the new 'leadership'. Even on Fox this morning Steve Ducy (sp?) remarked Israel no longer has "any excuse" not to deal with the Pals.

Realistically, the chance of there being a peace-loving Pal state ready to be a good neighbor with Israel is slim to none. The Pals have raised -- and are raising -- their kids to exclude that possibility.

The Pals don't want peace. They want Israel.

Peace is a pretty picture. It hasn't just been Arafat holding that back. It is the population he has raised. Unless the new 'leaders' wish to, and are able to, undo a culture of hatred, violence and racist anti-semitism, there will be more war and there should be more war.

Note to self: stop spitting on computer screen.

"Where do I go to pay homage to Arafat?"

"The line forms on the Left..."

Hey, here's a cheery thought:

I once heard that in hell, you can't kill yourself! You're stuck in misery for eternity! Ha!

Ugh. I'm sick to my stomach.

Can any New Yorkers near the UN take a peek at the flag?

Pretty please?

NewsMax.com has a picture of Jimmy Carter and Arafat and the caption is "Two of a kind".

A Eulogy from South Africa
You won't believe what the South African ANC Youth Leage said in their tribute to Yasser Arafat.

Read it here

#55 ibn Abu: Give me a break. Since Bush took office, Arafat had gone from a beloved guest in the White House and a "partner for peace," to an untrustworthy joke living in ruins with his authority being eroded by American influence. If an American president isn't going to curse out a leader while he's alive, he's not going to be cowardly and do so after his death, whether that's what you want or not.

Above all other leaders in the world save arguably Sharon, Bush showed not only with words but with actions that Arafat was too vile even for leading the Jordyptians. With 95% of the rest of the world leaders either indifferent to Arafat, or supportive of him, it takes a lot of guts to mouth off against one of the best we've got.

Tony Blair has sent his heartfelt condolences to the family and people of "the president".

Is the British government so sunk in idiocy that it does not even know he was never "president" of anything?

Two weeks ago, I had a feeling that the whole grotesque farce was being made up by Evelyn Waugh. But a week ago I realized I was wrong -- it had to be Monty Python.

Arafat is right now meeting with other Lucifers like Allah and Mohammad to plan future world despoiling tactics. Already Old Europe is warming up quite nicely for them.

I am watching the BBC coverage at the moment and it can only be described as absolutley SICKENING. I still havn't heard the word 'terrorist' yet...and I don't think I will.

This is why we HATE the UN and why America is RED and we Voted Bush

SCREW THE UN

Your history is disgusting

AMERICA RULES the UN DROOLS!

You make war criminals into celebreties

THE UN IS a GANG of MURDERERS pattign themselves on the backs

Anyone involved in it sucks

So much breast-beating. There are some real positive things attached to the Fish's death. We should remember that Arafat made many allies, all who would like to see the end of Israel and the end of democracy in the middle east...and elsewhere. As we learn who his friends and supporters are, we begin to see that people throughout the world are getting fed up with terrorists and their abettors. They are "coming out."

When Bush was getting bashed by the Hollywood crowd, it made many more Americans angry. Especially so to see their so-called celluloid heroes showing such disrespect for America and our values. Bush won and now the democrats who opposed the war on terro are going through a lot of soul-searching. Support for the War is growing, as a result.

So, let's quietly celebrate the death of the Fish. Watch to see who shows their love for him. Jimmy Carter, you're number one on my list. Kofi, you're always number two. Jacques, there are no words for you and your buddy Gerhardt. The list grows. The sun rises.

Thanks for posting the links, Charles (especially the CAMERA one). It really speaks to the hypocrisy of people like Chirac and Carter.

I don't think you should call them "crocodile tears", Charles. That would imply that, however copious, they were insincere. The tears currently being shed for this revolting Jew-killer are all too genuine.

#83 song_and_dance_man

Bring.It.On.

Israel is smart enough to say that they will negotiate peace with any "palestinian leader" serious about peace. First of all, none are. Second, there will not emerge any "palestinian leader" who has staying power for a long long time.

I predict a "thinning of the heard" in the Pal territories. Mafia-style leadership changes followed by years of chaos and despair. The Pali civil war begins.

I hope our Jewish readers won't be offended if a post a bit of Christian scripture that I feel describes Arafat and his new surroundings (as the majority of his victims were Jewish). (Mark, Chapter 9)

42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

I suspect Arafat is already in Gehenna, where the fires never go out and the worms will devour his flesh for eternity.

#77 soonerborn

Yeah, it's a bit small. So let's send inquiries to the United States Mission to the UN.

#55

Bush's failure to make a speech condemning Arafat and expressing the American peoples' sincere wish that he be burning in hell is one of the great moral failures of his administration.

Bush has soldiers in harm's way. No way is he going to inflame the situation and give the muckrackers in Iraq something else to kill for. Going on record with a quote and a soundbyte would do just that. Bush knows better, and he's proven adept at biding his time.

#88 Ed Moran abu GOMEX aob 26.5C

As a Jewish reader, I find that piece of scripture most heartening.

Looks like the civil war among the troglodytes is just starting:

Some 100 Fatah activists demonstrated outside Arafat's compound in Ramallah on Wednesday, chanting slogans against PLO Secretary-General Mahmoud Abbas and former security minister Muhammad Dahlan, condemning them as U.S. "agents."

"Dahlan, hey, hey, you are an agent of the CIA," the protesters shouted.

One of the demonstration's leaders, Fadi, said the protest was aimed at sending a message to Abbas and Dahlan that the Palestinians won't allow them to succeed Arafat.

Fatah leaflets distributed in the West Bank called on Palestinians to "liquidate all those involved in the plot to poison Arafat, who are most likely Israeli and American agents."

Link

And

Farouk Kaddoumi, head of the PLO's political department, challenged the emerging Palestinian leadership of Mahmoud Abbas and Ahmed Qurei on Wednesday.

"Anyone who thinks that I have abdicated my authority is mistaken," said Kaddoumi, one of the founders of Fatah, who is known to have many supporters both on Fatah's Central Committee and among Fatah activists in the territories.

Kaddoumi, who did not return to the territories in 1993 because he opposed the Oslo Accords, said he thought Fatah, the main PLO faction, should wage guerrilla warfare against Israel.

Link

Pigs ass to you arafart and good riddance.

Page A22 of the Washington Post declares Arafat, " A Dreamer Who Forced His Cause Onto World Stage." Disgusting! Why do they insist on whitewashing this man?

He forced his cause onto the world stage alright; murder and terrorism is pretty coercive (hope I spelled that right). And his "dream" was more like a hellish, bloody nightmare.

People are stupid. That's the problem.

Arafat is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians. No tears should be shed for this coldhearted monster. Hopefully now we can move toward real peace unobstructed by Arafat. Unfortunately, a whole generation of Palestinians has been raised to hate Jews, all under his auspices. How do you reverse the damage that he caused? How does one praise a person who has laid the ground for disaster?

Arafat shows up at the gates of hell and sees note posted:

"Be back soon . . .Went to a funeral
. . . Let yourself in.

Crocodile tears? How about lizard tears, which one can only hear: Bwahahahahaha!!!

For anyone who would say that the pal's only want "their own country"...read the last line of this...

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Tens of thousands of Palestinians rushed into Gaza streets to mourn Yasser Arafat Thursday as others in the West Bank reacted with tears and tributes. Israel responded by sealing the borders of Palestinian territories.

The Palestinians in Gaza clutched flags and his photograph and waved the trademark headscarf of the leader considered the national patriarch.

Black smoke from burning tires rose across the Gaza Strip. Dozens of children ran through the streets, many promising to carry out his legacy.

In the West Bank city of Ramallah, Palestinian flags at Arafat's battered compound were lowered to half staff. Television broadcast excerpts from the Quran with a picture of Arafat in the background.

Israel closed the West Bank and Gaza Strip borders and sent troop reinforcements to the areas, while beefing up security at Jewish settlements amid concern over possible Palestinian rioting in the coming days.

"The Israeli Defense Forces are deploying to allow a dignified funeral ceremony for chairman Arafat," an army statement said.

Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat told The Associated Press that the parliament speaker, Rauhi Fattouh, will be sworn in as Palestinian Authority president in place of Arafat in the coming hours.

Yasser Abed Rabbo, a top Arafat aide, said Arafat would be buried on Saturday in Ramallah in what he called a "national day of farewell."

A memorial service was to be held in Cairo, Egypt, on Friday.

Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic jihad, Arafat's main political rivals, expressed sorrow and paid tribute.

Sami Abu Zuhri, Hamas's spokesman in Gaza, called on the group's supporters to honor Arafat and work toward national unity.

"We lost by his death one of our great symbols and one of the main focuses of our national struggle and identity," Abu Zuhri told The Associated Press.

Islamic Jihad spokesman in Gaza Nafez Azzam said "with hearts full of belief in God's will we mourn President Yasser Arafat who was a great leader for the Palestinian people."

In the Jebaliya refugee camp, Gaza's largest, university students and supporters of Arafat's Fatah movement gathered in shock and sadness after learning of his death in a Paris hospital.

"Yasser Arafat is inside in our hearts - in the hearts of the real nation of Palestine," said Amar Muheisen, 22, from Gaza City as he beat his chest with his fists. "Yasser Arafat will never die."

Palestinians huddled around radios on street corners as loudspeakers from mosques amplified verses from the Quran. Loudspeakers mounted on trucks blared Arafat's most famous quotes.

Gunmen fired into the air - some only 500 yards from Jewish settlements. No clashes were reported amid a mood more of grief than outrage.

Children, already out of school for a Muslim holiday, ran through the streets, swept up in the frenzy.

One 14-year old named Ali, who refused to give his last name, wrapped a fist around a photograph of the late leader.

"He said we will raise the Palestinian flag in Jerusalem - and we will."

IGNORE the links that were in the article...sorry about that.

I think Vincent D'Onofrio might be available as a rep, to his funeral, then he can stay there and take Baldwin, Streisand and any other moonbats they want.

Vincent is too troubled to travel now:

Vincent D'Onofrio faints after rehearsal in New York

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Vincent D'Onofrio was taken to a hospital Wednesday after fainting in New York following a rehearsal of a scene for the NBC series ``Law & Order: Criminal Intent.''

D'Onofrio had been rehearsing a strenuous scene including climbing before he fainted on location in Brooklyn, according to NBC Universal Television Studio, which produces the crime drama.

Hells bells he wasn't even a palestinian,he was born in Egypt to Egyptian parents.

He lived by extortion and murder.

Charles-thank you for posting this list. My brother-in-law's name is on it, murdered by bloodthirsty Palestinian jihadis, directed by Arafat himself.

Thank you for doing your part-and it is a huge part-in making sure that people remember. Every name on this list represents a whole world collapsed, a beautiful soul obliterated into the protection of heaven, a parent's life crushed-siblings, wives and children living a life without one of their own limbs essentially.

May Arafat rot in hell. May the Jewish people and our wonderful friends here prosper in health, happiness and peace.

We can say the "shehechiyanu" prayer: thank you God for letting us make it to this day.

Ah, that's a comforting thought.

I always enjoying hearing that Scripture passage, too.

#95 Smoot

People are stupid. That's the problem.

I disagree. People need to be informed. Many of us know what Arafat did. The LGF comments are brilliant and informed. Many more people are getting exposed to the internet and finding out that the MSM are writing misleading news stories. The values of the MSM are lousy, anti-democratic, and hypocritcal.

It's just important to take note of those in the news who have praise for the Fish. The bloggers and especially LGF can be a great service to the uninformed. Take heart. Arafat is dead and there is hope.

Today, the day after Yasser Arafat's "official" death, I find myself asking, "what kind of an insane Orwellian world do we live in?" Last night watching the news, I saw Arafat referred to in many ways. Among them he was called "the man who brought the Palestinian cause to the world's attention," "Nobel Peace Prize winner," and "great statesman."

As I scanned the channels on the satellite, and the various mainstream media sites on the web, I was astounded that no one was focusing on the decades long campaign of terror and the murder of innocents around the world in which Yasser Arafat had a hand. No one referred to him as a "murderer," "terrorist," or "criminal," even though all of those allegations have been proven factual time and time again. At worst, reporters talked about "allegations of terror" or allegations of "financial misdeeds."

History is being rewritten by the Arafat apologists and cover-up artists (among them the American media) as you read this.

For the last 20 years the Devil has had shifts digging 24 hrs. a day, because there was no pit in hell deep enough or burning hot enough to hold this vile piece of shit. Arafat, I hope you died knowing you had failed in everything you had tried to do. Burn long and slow.

Mike7411

It is tragic that he did not live to see it fulfilled.”

What a joke. Read Safire's column today. Arafat was the reason it was never fulfilled. The Israeli's made him an offer that only a maniac would have turned down, and he turned it down.

Kofi Annan needs to have his head examined. He is a kook and had drained the last few drops of relevancy the UN possessed.

Thank God Arafat is dead. May he rest in agony.

Good Riddance! KERTHUNK! glub, glub, glub ^o...o, glub...aaagh!

OK...C H A R L E S...Thank you for providing the names of the VICTIMS.

Don't effuse; give us a link.

Well, at least the son of a *** is dead. During this entire farce, I kept looking at the news saying, "Is this guy not dead yet?! Yasser, do the world a favor and kick the bucket already!" I even entertained the idea of assisted suicide for Yasser just so it would end.
< Dr. Kervokian, Dr. Kervokian please come to ward 2 >
I did get a kick about the fact that the Israelis were planning his funeral before he even bought the farm and how the PLO whined about how 'insensitive' that was. Heh heh.
Come to think of it, the UN, in this respect at least, is like Yasser. Think about it. People were like this about him: "Is he dead?" "Oh, no! He's alive and might recover!" "He's dead, isn't he?" "Uh, well maybe yes, maybe no" "OK, he's dead, then" "I never said that!"
Which is pretty much what a lot of people seem to be like about the UN: "When it comes to the War on Terror, is it for all intents and purposes, 'dead'?" "Oh no...

On topic...

What did Bush say? Both have been reported...

Was it "God bless his soul." ? (cringe inducing)

Or did he say
"God rest his soul." which is a more standard saying and less objectionable than "bless"

Unfortunately Bush realistically couldn't say "Burn in Hell, MF!" , at least not publicly .

Soo SO sorry about your brotherinlaw Writer Mom.
Bastards...

The World is CELEBRATING the MURDERER of JEWS. THAT is what is happening. THATS the BOTTOM LINE.

And the World is Celebrating the Murderer of Americans as well. ANY American death in Iraq by TERRORISM can be laid at the door of Yassar Arafat. HE is the father of modern Terrorism and those that make excuses for it are just as responsible.

Yessir Arafat: Into the dustbin (garbage can) of history.

Those are not crocodile tears for this modern day Haman. They truly loved him for his desire to finish Hitler's work, and I assure you, those tears are real.

Israel is Nuked and you will hear...OOPS...we didnt know that would happen. What a shame...what a shame...lets build a MUSEAUM...blah blah blah

AND the Holocaust...continues.

I'm mourning this man the only way I know how. By now taking a page from Ariel Sharon's playbook and not saying his name at all. By wearing my Israel T-shirt and Star of David and by developing my pictures from Israel. Wheee!!!

#119 J. Lichty,

Isn't it beautiful? Our children get to spend the rest of their lives in a world without Yasser Arafat!

I'm gonna do this as a "just in case precaution," as we're likely to see at least one such troll today.

To any trolls that should come along today, trying to take the "moral high ground" by being shocked, surprised, or disgusted by our celebration that Arafat is dead, let me ask you this:

Would you mourn the death of Adolf Hitler?
How about Josef Mengele?
Joseph Stalin?
Pol Pot?
Fidel Castro?
Slobodan Milosevich?
Kim Jong-Il?
Saddam Hussein?
Osama Bin Ladin?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, then your morals and ethics are in question and you're in no position to criticize our celebrating the death of one of history's monsters.

#125 zulubaby

Thanks. I was thinking of writing something about him in the next couple of days, and maybe posting a picture without names-just as the tributes of Arafat start to come in and make us all sick and angry. Never forget-never forgive.

OT: That fucking James Zogoby is on CNN. I'm going to puke.

well now its all over no one will miss him!

theisraelis can feel themselves lucky as they didnt come as as badly from his wonderful leadership as others did!

though his avowed intent was to destroy israel he only managed to destroy his "adopted" peoples, murdering and causing wars that led to thousands of dead arabs and palestinians.

the arabs are therefore quite happy to be rid of him and his wonderful leadership and now have what they always wanted!

him as a symbol!

the only thing he was ever of use for!

I'm also going to quit saying F*ck and start using France and Fish in it's place.

WriterMom, I'm staying away from the news. I simply cannot stomach it. Even knowing that it's going on is enough to upset me.

The French are frog-stepping with Arafat's coffin; it's just like I pictured it when I wrote Arafat's Death Poem (e.e. cummings style) a few days ago.

I suppose he's off to Plains, Georgia, to lie in state for a few days.

"Annan praises a terrorist's passing
Shows his love of all things vile
He is our true enemy"

Whether it was Annan's signal failure to help the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls who were murdered in Rwanda, or his total silence in the face of rampant financial corruption at the UN and systematic rape carried out by UN troops, he has proven himself to be an individual imbued with enormous wickedness. How appropriate that such a person should be the head of an organization like the United Nations.

Here is a list of the "heir apparents" of this terrorist organization. Doesn't look too good if these degenerates are all the PA has to offer.

MAHMUD ABBAS owes his prominence to the fact that he co-founded the Fatah terror groups with Arafat. He wrote his PhD dissertation and later a bestselling book explaining why the Holocaust is a hoax. He has planned and overseen terrorist attacks for the past several decades, including the latest four year old Palestinian terror war.

AHMED QUREI also co-founded the Fatah terror group with Arafat. He has been the chief PLO money man for the past three decades. He has blackmailed the international community into contributing billions of dollars in aid to the PLO. He continues to overtly support and applaud terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, and as recently as September he has made open calls for terrorists to murder civilians.

MUHAMMED DAHLAN is a favorite of Israel and American policy makers alike. He is one of the architects of the current terror war. In 1994, Arafat placed him in charge of coordinating activities with Hamas. Dahlan's militia in Gaza has taken an active role in carrying out attacks against Israeli civilians, including the infamous bombing of an Israeli school bus in November 2000, in which three people were murdered and a half dozen school children lost their legs and arms. He is active in weapon smuggling to Gaza and in frequent terror attacks.

JIBRIL RAJOUB is Dahlan's counterpart and rival in the West Bank from 1994 to 2000. Rajoub's men take an active role in carrying out terror attacks in Israel while they still retained their salaries from Arafat.

U.S. to send mid-level official to Arafat funeral. YUCK!! The only U.S. "official" who should be anywhere near that event should be a coroner to make sure that the SOB is dead ... and he should have a wooden spike, just in case.

Antidote to the MSM: listen to Rush. He's taking apart the Arafat adulation.

We can say the "shehechiyanu" prayer: thank you God for letting us make it to this day.

Amen.
We have seen the death of Mr. Death himself, and that is a beautiful thing.

Don't do that! Take notes on who says what. It's very important to identify the enemy. They've been hidden for a long time. When the shooting starts (the Pali civil war), and it spills over to other countries, you'll want to remember who helped the terrorists. We'll all need to remember.

Chag Same'ach, everyone! I suggest we call the new Jewish holiday Chag HaMagevet (Festival of the Towel), in commemoration of the dishtowel he always wore on his head. And of course, every holiday needs a special food associated with it. May I suggest Rais Krispies?

So remember, don't forget: every year on the 27th of Cheshvan, grab your dishtowel, slap it on the ground repeatedly and go "LULULULULULULULU!"

#108 Mike7411

Failed? Hardly.

Whatever you think of Arafat, he was smart. He was smart enough to muscle his way to the front of the Palestinians (faint praise, I know), which was a cause he knew he could pimp for his own purposes. He knew what it took to get attention: kill people. And he knew how to get the all-too-willing MSM to eat out of his hand. Hell, they're doing it even after his death. He knew how to bilk anyone with money. He screwed the UN, Europe and the US out of untold millions, and he screwed the Palestinians out of the very same money, while, at the same time, remained as popular with them as anyone could be.

Of course he turned down the offer in 2000. That would lead to some small measure of accountability, thus threatening the gravy train. Not only that, he knew a Palestinian state would fail magnificently. He would probably be out of a job at some point as well. He could go much farther and make more money playing the victim. So that's what he did.

Osama bin Laden wishes he was as good at terrorism and PR as Arafat was. Basically what Arafat was able to do was waltz into the international cocktail party, pinch off a loaf in the punch bowl, and get out of there with a standing ovation. Sure he's scum, but he's no dummy.

Now I would prefer that no one from the US government go to this funeral. However, we can be quite glad that President Bush or Vice President Cheney are not going. Instead they get some mid level official and Jimmy Carter. Bill Clinton can't get off his hiney and go too?? He seemed to like that man a lot, enough to bet Middle East politics on him anyway.
It's almost thumbing the American nose at this man's death and that's good enough for me.

Goofy Annan, EAT SHIT AND DIE!!! What's just as bad as the shitball terrorists like Araflab, is the terrorist enablers like YOU!!! Oh, I forgot you have to deflect heat away from you, your son, and your dirtball UN cronies regarding your bald-faced corruption and thievery in the UN's Iraq "Oil For Hustlers" scandal. There's no ducking this one, Goofy--it happened on your watch. May you & Araflab enjoy each other's company in the special place reserved for jaggoffs like you two. Well, lah-dee-dah-dah for you!!!

#147 ploome hineni

Yes, how could I forget that paragon of virtue, that icon of compassion, that scumbag terrorists Barghouti?
He still thinks, he will be released so that he can take Arafart's place and be the one who defeats the Jews. May he rot in prison, he should have been hung, that may yet be his reward.

As for that bitch Suha, I doubt seriously she will last until 2005. I see her having an 'unfortunate' accident in the near future. No great loss.

Reactions To The Death of The Godfather of Terrorism

Hamas: Israel responsible for Arafat demise;

W's reaction:

"We express our condolences to the Palestinian people,... For the Palestinian people, we hope that the future will bring peace and the fulfillment of their aspirations for an independent, democratic Palestine that is at peace with its neighbors."

Kansas City Newswire

Israeli Justice Minister Lapid says it best:

Among Israelis, however, he was known as a terrorist, and his death was greeted with relief.

"I hated him in a non-personal way, but rather in a deep way of a man who led the system of terror in the world that even al-Qaida is built on," said Yosef Lapid, Israeli justice minister. "I hated him not only for the sorrow he caused the Jews but for the sorrow and destruction he caused for the Palestinians."

French officials who have been following Yasser Arafat's treatment were astonished to discover that Suha Arafat's constant companion and financial adviser was none other than Pierre Rizk, who headed the intelligence service of the Phalange during the Lebanese civil war and was in close personal contact with the guerrilla group responsible for the massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp in 1982.

#103 WriterMom

Seeing the name of your brother-in-law (alav hasholom) on a list of terrorist victims is a painful personal reminder of his murder. But it is also a stark reminder that his death is linked to the millions of other Jews throughout history who were also killed because an enemy could not come to terms with the fact of their existence. Sadly, many of those names can never and will never be known.

One point which has not been mentioned here or in the MSM is the true irrelevancy of this guy's death. They're all speaking that now this "impediment" is out of the way, the Paleonazis can press on for peace.

Did we not learn our lessions 60 years ago? Hitler no more held control of the German people than Arafish held control of his. The death of a death cult leader does not mean that the cult suddenly reforms - though I would encourage the Paleonazis to follow Jim Jones' lead.

The fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of Paleos want to kill Jews and destroy Israel. Let me repeat that: The overwhelming majority of Paleos want to kill Jews and destroy Israel.

Hamas and IJ have never been more popular. The Paleonazi kids continue to be inculcated with hatred and turned into jihaddis.

Wake up people, the lead fish may be dead but his school continues to stink.

Shit Blows up -- Arafat

Plane hijacked -- Arafat
Carbomb -- Arafat

Things like this have been synonymous for the 30+ years I can rember. The day of his demise should have been delivered at the tip of a .308 hollowpoint right between the eyes, several decades and several thousand lives ago.

Adios, Motherfucker!

Currently Fox News is covering the "tribute" being paid to Arafat in France. This speaks volumes about France's stance on the "war on terror," since Arafat can be considered the father of modern day terrorism.

I would not be the least bit surprised if, before I die, France is the sworn enemy of America...

Disgusting.

Great, the spineless Bibi has his first job as Sharon's lap-bitch.

Telling FOX that arafat was a liar evey time that he said "peace". At least he's explaining that the PLO always wanted palestine INSTEAD OF Israel.

Palestinian refugees rally in the streets

Refugees!? The media are at it again. Bastards.

Palestinian refugees took to the streets of the Arab world Thursday to mourn Yasser Arafat, firing shots into the air, burning American and Israeli flags, and shedding tears for the man who was the symbol of their struggle for statehood. In a Jordanian camp, barefoot boys brandished toy machine guns.

In the Rashidieh refugee camp near the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, demonstrators shouted "Death to Israel!" — a rallying cry for Palestinians who blame the Jewish state for thwarting their national aspirations.

At Ein el-Hilweh, near the southern city of Sidon, demonstrators burned tires and fired shots in the air to express frustration and sadness. Later, crowds swelled the narrow streets, waving Arafat's pictures and chanting: "Our soul and blood, we sacrifice for you."

The crowd, which later burned and trampled three Israeli flags and an American one, was led by children and women. They carried a mock coffin draped in the Palestinian flag and Arafat's pictures as they circled their camp. Young boys, some barefoot, carried toy AK-47s.

Jordan, which has the largest concentration of Palestinian refugees outside the West Bank and Gaza Strip, declared Thursday a national holiday, the first of three days of mourning. Government offices and schools were closed, a move that allowed more participation in pro-Arafat gatherings.

. Picture Yasser in his new home:

' We can conceive but little of the matter; but to help your conception, imagine yourself to be cast into a fiery oven, or a great furnace, where your pain would be as much greater than that occasioned by accidentally touching a coal of fire, as the heat is greater.

Imagine also that your body were to lie there for a quarter of an hour, full of fire, and all the while full of quick sense; what horror would you feel at the entrance of such a furnace! and how long would that quarter of an hour seem to you!

And after you had endured it for one minute, how overbearing would it be to you to think that you had to endure the other fourteen!

But what would be the effect on your soul, if you knew you must lie there enduring that torment to the full for twenty-four hours...for a whole year...for a thousand years!

Oh, then, how would your hearts sink, if you knew, that you must bear it forever and ever! that there would be no end! that after millions of millions of ages, your torment would be no nearer to an end, and that you never, never should be delivered!

But your torment in hell will be immensely greater than this illustration represents. '

Vatican: Arafat a leader of 'great charisma'

---
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST Nov. 11, 2004

---

The Vatican offered its condolences Thursday on the death of Yasser Arafat, calling him a leader of "great charisma" and expressing hope that the time had come for Israel and the Palestinians to live in peace, in two independent states.

Pope John Paul II has long supported Palestinian rights to a homeland and stood by Arafat when Israel and the United States considered him a terrorist or an ineffectual or unreliable peace partner.

The Vatican "joins the grief of the Palestinian people over the death of Yasser Arafat," Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said.

Arafat was "a leader of great charisma who loved his people and sought to guide them toward national independence," Navarro-Valls said.
"May God in his pity receive the soul of (Arafat) and concede peace to the Holy Land with two independent and sovereign states, wholly reconciled," he said.

John Paul received Arafat for the first time in 1982 amid protests from Israel and the worldwide Jewish community. Since that Vatican audience, the two men have met another 10 times.

The pope made his long-sought pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2000, just a few months before the Palestinian uprising that followed the breakdown in the Camp David peace talks.

In a stop in Bethlehem, the pope kissed a golden bowl of Palestinian soil - one of several gestures the Palestinians saw as recognition of their dreams for statehood. As Arafat looked on, the pontiff proclaimed Palestinians' "natural right to a homeland."

The Vatican maintains what it calls "relations of a special nature" with the Palestine Liberation Organization. Under John Paul, the Vatican established full diplomatic relations with Israel.

I have no doubt that Terrorfat's souls was destroyed on arrival.

Eh, what the fuck is Vladimir Putin talking about???

He described Arafart as a

great political leader of international significance.

Forgotten Beslan have we Vladamir? Arafart was master of the tactics used there by his evil Muslim brothers.

Why don't we just move the rotting corpse of the U.N. to France? I'm sick to death of hosting those Anti-American thugs. They undermine us at every turn anyway, so what difference could it make?

In the summer of 1972, I was the nuclear launch control officer for a 'live' Pershing Missile site in southern Bavaria, Germany. On duty, 24/7 with boredom being the norm of the day, we looked forward to viewing the Munich Olympics on German Television. Needless to say, it turned to days of horror for all of us as we watched the Israeli athletes hostage/massacre events play out to their tragic end. Things became a 'little tense' in the nuclear missile business at that point, as the world once again moved closer to a crisis nobody really wanted...fortunately, more sane minds prevailed and we downgraded our 'readiness' level. The less sane Yasser Arafat and the PLO became household names for all of us that remember...those that forgot, awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994...
Yes, I celebrate his passing...but, I hold little hope that there will ever be a peaceful resolution to the issue of a Palestinian state..those that believe that this will be an opportunity will be sadly disappointed over time. It only takes one truly radical 'martyr' to bring the region back to its revolutionary roots.

Falluja battle goes on as rebels hit back

Huge blast in Falluja rebel stronghold
"There are large numbers of U.S. forces across Falluja."

Massive Carbomb Rocks Baghdad

By Michael Georgy and Fadel al-Badrani

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. troops are fighting to crush resistance in the Iraqi city of Falluja but rebels have hit back with an armed rampage in Mosul and a car bomb that killed 17 people in a crowded Baghdad street.

Marines met little opposition in the former insurgent stronghold of Jolan, in northwest Falluja, where guerrillas fired only one or two mortar rounds as tanks pushed through alleys, according to a Reuters reporter at the scene on Thursday.

But a huge explosion erupted in the district after dark, sending a fireball into the sky, the reporter said.

And Marines had to call in four air strikes after taking heavy fire at their headquarters in central Falluja, the BBC reported. Its correspondent with Marines said a Marine rifle company had come under continuous fire when it pushed out of the base into the city on a house-to-house search for insurgents.

Jolan, a stronghold for Saddam Hussein loyalists, had seen some of the fiercest fighting of this week's U.S.-led offensive in the Sunni Muslim city, 50 km (32 miles) west of Baghdad.

"Things are going, I think, as planned. We've got about 70 percent of the city under control," U.S. General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CBS television.

"There have been hundreds and hundreds of insurgents who have been either killed or captured," he said.

But rebels managed to shoot down two U.S. Cobra helicopters near Falluja, U.S. military sources cited by Al Arabiya television said on Thursday. It gave no details.

The Falluja assault has provoked an upsurge in violence elsewhere in Iraq, as happened in April during an earlier failed U.S. attempt to subdue the country's most rebellious city.

The late morning car bomb that killed 17 people in central Baghdad also wounded at least 20, the police source said.

A Reuters reporter saw four bodies in burned-out cars after the blast near a police patrol in a busy street just off Nasr Square. The bomb devastated a nearby building and littered the street with twisted metal and glass from shattered shop windows.

And while U.S.-led troops fought for the upper hand in Falluja, insurgents in the northern city of Mosul set police stations ablaze, stole weapons and brazenly roamed the streets.

Residents said Iraq's third largest city seemed to slide out of control as grenade blasts and gunfire rang through empty streets and smoke billowed from two burning police stations.

Rebels attacked Iraqi national guards controlling a bridge in the city centre, killing five of them, witnesses said.

"REALLY CRAZY"

A cameraman for Reuters filmed gunmen raiding weapons and flak jackets from a police station before setting it on fire.

"It's crazy, really, really crazy," said Abdallah Fathi, a resident who witnessed one police station attack.

The U.S. military issued a statement admitting that local security forces had been overrun in several areas and said local authorities were doing what they could to restore order.

A photographer working for Reuters was shot in the leg and taken to hospital. Doctors said one civilian had been killed and at least 25 wounded in the past two days of fighting.

Violence has worsened in Mosul, a strongly nationalist city of three million people, over the past year, but residents said the chaos of the past two days had broken new ground.

Apparently responding to the Falluja offensive, insurgents have staged attacks this week in the Sunni towns and cities of Samarra, Baiji, Baquba, Tikrit, Ramadi and parts of Baghdad.

Six national guards were killed near Tikrit, Saddam's home town, by a roadside bomb on Wednesday night, witnesses said.

Now this really pisses me off - the French military is acting as pallbearers for Arafat's rotting corpse.

The French military!? Don't they have something better to do with their time? Like practicing retreat and surrender movements?

[Link: newsimg.bbc.co.uk...]

Where are the good and decent French people clamoring for an end to this nonsense /rhetorical question, knowing that there appear to be no good and decent French people who will demand that their government stop feteing terrorists.

In a stop in Bethlehem, the pope kissed a golden bowl of Palestinian soil - one of several gestures the Palestinians saw as recognition of their dreams for statehood. As Arafat looked on, the pontiff proclaimed Palestinians' "natural right to a homeland."

Time to demand the release and publishing on the internet of all he records in the Vatican archives, starting with any land deed transfers involving jews.

LMAO@ the due with the SteelyDan handle...

*+*

I see lots of people saying Arafat is going to be with Lucifer/Satan/Beelzebub now.

Just what do you people have against Lucifer?!

So he tempted Christ, mislead a king here and there, yadda yadda. Okay, and the Garden thing too.

But to torture him with Arafat's eternal infernal presence? That is cruel!

So...just what do you people have against Satan?!

Chirac visited The Terrorist's bedside. After he died, Chirac bowed by the casket of The Terrorist.

Yet when Chirac was in the US for the G8 summit, he couldn't be bothered to make the 1 hour flight to Washington to pay respects to Ronald Reagan. He had some reason to leave the country in a hurry.

Chirac is a dirtbag.

The other scumbag you mentioned is Farouk Kaddoumi, he at least has the good sense to know that the Oslo agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on. For different reasons of course.

lawhawk

french military is an oxy-moron

Arafat's passing deserves no mention, other than the recognition that he was a mass murderer, an enemy of the world, and king of the terrorists.

If this note has been posted before, I apologise.
Rush said in the previous hour that Arafat went to France to die because French law has no requirement to state cause of death. A very interesting legal point, if true.

#204 Cousin Dave

I heard on the Hugh Hewitt Show that Mark Steyn was taking some time off to spend with the family. All is well with him, and, from what I heard on the HH show, he will be returning after his vacation.

Putin, Chirac, Kofi, Carter, they can all go to hell. I'm going to avoid the TV for at least a week until this farce is over.

#217 Azure

I heard that too.

Apparently the law states that only the family can release the medical records.

The Arab killers wouldnt want the truth of their "icon" coming out...that he died of AIDS, contracted by playing with little boys and his fellow terrorists.

In Jordan's largest refugee camp of Baqaa, 2,000 angry Palestinians poured into the dusty alleyways, waving black flags and shouting: "We will return to Palestine!"

The crowd, which later burned and trampled three Israeli flags and an American one, was led by children and women. They carried a mock coffin draped in the Palestinian flag and Arafat's pictures as they circled their camp. Young boys, some barefoot, carried toy AK-47s.

Now my mom would buy me shoes before paying for a
toy gun, but in Jordan...

Benmjamin Shapiro has correctly referred to this murderer as " the revolting refugee from the garbage bin of humanity."

Charles,

Thank you for this post.

I'm speechless.

ABC makes me want to puke.

The Fallujah campaign has also sent a stream of American wounded to the military's main hospital in Europe. Planes carrying just over 100 bloodied and broken troops were arriving Thursday at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, a day after 64 others were brought in.

Broken? Broken?

Wounded, yes. Injured, sure. Maimed, even. But broken?

I guess they're still not as "broken" as they'd be if their planes arrived at Landstuhl, what with it being a hospital and not an airport. I imagine they'd land a lot easier at Ramstein, the air base up the road a bit.

But who needs facts when you've got hyperbole?

Argghhh!!!

This is disgusting: Arafat's Life in Pictures

Only a single minor mention of his involvement in terrorism. Fuck you BBC!

The Peace Maker

Ramallah (CNSNews.com) - Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat was a great lover of peace, and it will be possible to achieve peace after his death if only the Israelis change, Palestinians in Ramallah said on Thursday.

What a FUCKIN JOKE

I love these myway news reports on Iraq-

Inevitably, your read this totally skewed, biased report of whats going on, you get discouraged, then you look at the bottom and it's like...

"contributors to this story: Sadaam Bin Laden, Faisal Atta, Jihad McFatwa and Gunga Din bin Killajew

CJC comments on death of Arafat

OTTAWA – Ed Morgan, Canadian Jewish Congress national president issued the following statement:

"With the passing of the Palestinian Authority's leader, Canadian Jewish Congress shares with Palestinian Canadians their hopes for a future of peace, security and independence for Palestinians and Israelis alike.”

“Reflecting on Yasser Arafat's legacy, we note that while he put the cause of the Palestinian people on the map of political causes, he was incapable of putting a Palestinian state on the map of states. We hope and pray, at this time of transition, that the new Palestinian leadership that emerges will reject violence and be imbued with the necessary courage to pursue the ‘peace of the brave.'”

OT :[Link: www.worldnetdaily.com...]

Has nothing changed? USA pressures Israel to let prisoners out of jail as a good will gesture to new PA leadership.

The 2nd URL at the bottom "Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the names of his victims" is extremely powerful.

Clicking onto the names at random and seeing the pictures of the various victims of the intifada and reading about each of them makes them real...

Like I said earlier, this is the "carrot and stick" approach. The Pali's get the carrot and Israel gets the stick. The Pali's have to do nothing. They will even say they will do nothing. The world doesn't care. Israel, in their eyes is the one holding up peace.

Those darn Jews, why won't they just roll over and die?

/sarcasm warranted

BBC News readers are falling all over themselves to celebrate the life of one of history's most murderous and evil terrorists. Even given the low expectations I have for "Have Your Say", and the leftist moonbats who are allowed to post to it, this is particularly revolting.

The Godfather of Terrorism's Final Repose: A Dump

From the article minus the Bull5hit:

The workmen started clearing the ground where Yasser Arafat's body is to be buried the day before his death was announced.

reality:

It was necessary to clear an area covered by squashed and tangled vehicles left at his Muqata compound ...

and the view:

They dug a hole about two metres deep, five metres long and two metres wide, carting off the earth to another corner of the Muqata, where the other debris had already been piled up...
From here we could not only see all of the compound, but also half of Ramallah - with its square sand-coloured buildings and black plumes of smoke from burning tyres

the hole:

...a concrete sarcophagus had been lowered in, ready to receive the leader's body tomorrow.

still pushing the temple mount:

Apparently Mr Arafat's casket is be encased in sand - so he can be reburied in Jerusalem at some time in the future, which Israel will not allow at the moment.

fear of the IDF his burial legacy:

Before today dozens of crude anti-helicopter devices - blue barrels filled with concrete holding upright 3-metre-long metal tubes - had been scattered throughout the area to prevent an Israeli snatch-squad from grabbing Mr Arafat and taking him off to Gaza or to exile

the path to his hole in the sand:

The barrels have now been lined up in two rows to make a rather sorry ceremonial walkway leading to another Muqata building, the conference hall where Arafat's body will be taken after its arrival from Egypt tomorrow.

A Sorry End For A Sorry Individual

The above is my interpretation of a BBC story here:

Only the Boston Globe got it right from what I've seen.

The doc at Camera.org is excellent, I have saved the whole thing and it is an important memo for any future discussion.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan praised Arafat’s struggle to win international recognition for the Palestinian cause,

So now international terrorism is a prized "struggle to win international recognition" for one's cause according to the SG of UN. The UN should follow into Arafat's steps and die already.

"Let me tell you something about Arafat's death: it's the first thing the French have done RIGHT!"

LOL! Almost as funny: the term "French Millitary Expert".

found at Drudge - new twins named Yasser and Arafat

[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

I don't know why I find this funny, but I do...I get this picture of two newborns with Arafats haggard, ugly face and I kinda' have to laugh. Ironic that it is the DEATH of their namesake that gives them a CHANCE at a good life

A propos the possibility of Arafat dying of AIDS, I asked one of our technicians who had worked extensively in the private sector of laboratory medicine in London if HIV positivity was common in Islamic countries. She replied that she thought it was very common indeed, especially in the Arab world; the wealthy tend to come to the West to be tested and treated because of the stigma attached to homosexuality, particularly passive. So I guess that AIDS is a big problem in the ME, but completely swept under the carpet. I spoke to an Egyptian (Coptic) doctor and he confirmed this. What happens to the poor I don't know; probably they just rot. Islam has a big thing about shame (and a very small thing about truth.)

The Vatican is a diplomatic entity and sadly for this devout Catholic is joining the world at praising Arafat when it should be cursing his rotten soul.

Sort of like Ima Hogg and Youra Hogg.

Newborn twins in Gaza City named "Yasser" and "Arafat".

How heartwarming! Like naming them "Adolf" and "Hitler".

Years from now, those kids will curse their mom for giving them Arafat's vile name. Or one can hope...

cybermonk and hornet,

Like I said earlier, this is the "carrot and stick" approach. The Pali's get the carrot and Israel gets the stick. The Pali's have to do nothing. They will even say they will do nothing. The world doesn't care. Israel, in their eyes is the one holding up peace.

I posted this on the othet thread today---Be wary!
Solana is wasting no time to exploit the power vacuum caused by Arafat's death.
This will not be to Israel's benefit!

EU Starts Push for Mideast Peace

The EU began to push forward Mideast peace efforts as soon as Yasser Arafat’s death was announced today

“Contacts have started with the Palestinians and the Israelis, it is too early to see what will be the next step,” EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said.“The European Union is going to work without delay to see how we can give an impulse to the peace process.”

After contacts overnight with international leaders, Solana said in Brussels that he found consensus on the need for a fresh push for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

“We will do all we can to accelerate the peace process,” he said. “I have no doubt that the international community as a whole has to make an effort to bring to an end the suffering for the people of Palestine.”

Solana was flying to Cairo today for Arafat’s funeral. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw is expected to represent Britain.

He and other leading EU officials pledged support to the Palestinian Authority as it seeks to make the transition to a new post-Arafat leadership.

In the wake of Arafat’s death, EU officials said the international community should work with increased determination to revive the “road map” peace plan which envisions an end to violence and the creation of a Palestinian state.

("pre-1967 borders")

“The best tribute to President Arafat’s memory will be to intensify our efforts to establish a peaceful and viable state of Palestine as foreseen by the road map,” Solana said.

The stalled peace plan is sponsored by the EU, the US, Russia and the UN

You know, if we don't catch Osama, the world community will be giving him a state funeral in thirty years, too.

*retch*

People, you've got to get a grip! We all knew the accolades this shitbird was going to receive when he finally went belly-up. Why the surprise and outrage when the typical cast of characters do exactly as we predicted? The media is the same bunch of lefty kooks that want to see the US LOSE the war on Militant Islam. They are the same that wanted to vilifile the US for trying to stop communism and propped up the North Vietemese as some bastion of enlightened civilization. These are the same people that point to Abu Ghraib as what is wrong with the war in Iraq and bury the hostage beheadings because, well, I suppose because its their country after all and we shouldn't be there in the first place. Let them have their day and mourn their hero, and let us be satisfied that this terrorist won't be doing no killing no more.

Since the funeral is not until Friday and the burial will follow that, how does that fit with burial within 24 hours?

103 Writermom

What was your brother in-law's name?

If this is a repeat, forgive me.

Golda Meir once said that the violence will end when the Palestinians love their children more than they hate the Jews.

God willing that day will be closer now without the influence of that hateful monster.

I must apologize for temporarily polluting this thread with words coming from bottom feeders, but I just pulled this article. Some people will never learn, or change. I suppose we shouldn't have never expected them to mention that this corpse was a terrorist murdering fiend during his time on earth...

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/11/04) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today offered its condolences to the Palestinian people
on the death of President Yasser Arafat.

*** also said
that U.S. support for the Palestinian people's right to justice and freedom from occupation is an essential prerequisite for peace in the Middle East
and is a key factor in winning the war on terror.

In its statement, *** *** said:

"*** offers it sincere condolences to the Palestinian people on the death of President Yasser Arafat. We come from God and to God we return.

"President Arafat was the embodiment of the Palestinian struggle for justice and freedom. His death should prompt all parties to the Middle East conflict to reinvigorate any efforts that could lead to peace with justice in the region. In particular, the United States must reexamine its Middle Eastern policy and refocus on helping to free the Palestinian people from
Israeli occupation.

"As many objective observers have stated, the United States' seeming indifference to the plight of the Palestinian people is one of the main causes for anti-American feeling in the Muslim world. A just resolution to the Middle East conflict would be a key factor in winning the war on terror. It is in America's interest to promote freedom for all people, including the Palestinians."

Its mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

( A just resolution to the Middle East conflict would be a key factor in winning the war on terror. It is in America's interest to promote freedom for all people, including the Palestinians.")---Is this a threat?

...a concrete sarcophagus had been lowered in, ready to receive the leader's body tomorrow.

Sounds suspiciously like a septic tank . . .

1ST & FORMOST I APPOLOGIZE FOR "SCREAMING"

2ND, I'M SORRY IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED...

INSTEAD OF JUST COMING TO LGF & OTHER "AMEN CORNERS" & AGREEING THAT ARAFAT IS A JACKASS & EVERYONE SHOULD JUST KNOW THIS & STOP WHITEWASHING HIS HISTORY,

WE MUST BE PROACTIVE ON THIS!!!

I SUGGEST: AS i WILL DO IT MYSELF HERE IN L.A. (BEV HILLS ADJ. AREA)

THAT WE ALL PRINT OUT "ARAFATS HISTORY OF TERRORISM"...(& ANYTHING NECESSARY) COPY IT, & DISTRIBUTE IT THROUGHT THE CITY.

SUGGESTIONS: PUT IT INTO "LA WEEKLY" STACKS, OR INDIVIDUAL "LA WEEKLYS", DROP IT OFF @ BUS STOPS, RESTAURANTS, MOVIE THEATRES, HAND IT OUT ON 3RD STREET, BRING IT ALONG EVERYWHERE YOU GO & LEAVE ONE COPY OF IT THERE, "POST" IT TO EVERY WEBSITE YOU CAN FIND, ETC.

TARGET INIDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT NOT REALLY KNOW ARAFATS HISTORY.

If we don't do it ourselves...we sure as g-d know that noone else is going to do it for us. fURTHERMORE, if Arafat is "remembered" as anything other than the TERRORIST that he is, we have only ourselves to blame if we DO NOTHING.

Newborn Twins Named Yasser and Arafat (AP)
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - When Safra Hassan went into labor Thursday, she told her husband she wanted to name their child Yasser after Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites), who died hours earlier.

It was only in the delivery room at Gaza's Shifa Hospital that Hassan, 32, discovered she was carrying twin boys.

"I looked at my husband and I said, we will call them Yasser and Arafat," she told The Associated Press. "I'm so proud that the name of Yasser Arafat will be in my house every day, just as the name of Yasser Arafat will be in every Palestinian house forever."

The boys, each weighing about 4 1/2 pounds, are doing well, doctors said. Safra Hassan and her husband, Rafiq, have two other children, a 7-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son.

Safra Hassan said naming her infants for Arafat was a small gesture compared to the sacrifices he made in pursuit of Palestinian statehood.

"I hope that my children will grow up in peace and will witness Yasser Arafat's dreams become reality," she said.

Two words, everyone. OPPOSITE DAY!!

We all played it as a kid. You know the rules. Let's enjoy this while it lasts! Turn on the news and laugh and laugh...

re #273, here's the link:
[Link: story.news.yahoo.com...]

When the media and government spokespersons recall Arafat's renunciation of terror, always recall that he never accepted the label of "terrorism" for fedayeen actions, which were "resistance." He never renounced anything that he stood for. As Arafat explained to the UN General Assembly in 1974:

Those who call us terrorists wish to prevent world public opinion from discovering the truth about us and from seeing the justice on our faces. They seek to hide the terrorism and tyranny of their acts, and our own posture of self-defence.

The difference between the revolutionary and the terrorist lies in the reason for which each fights. For whoever stands by a just cause and fights for the freedom and liberation of his land from the invaders, the settlers and the colonialists, cannot possibly be called terrorist, otherwise the American people in their struggle for liberation from the British colonialists would have been terrorists; the European resistance against the Nazis would be terrorism, the struggle of the Asian, African and Latin American peoples would also be terrorism, and many of you who are in this Assembly hall were considered terrorists. This is actually a just and proper struggle consecrated by the United Nations Charter and by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As to those who fight against the just causes, those who wage war to occupy, colonize and oppress other people, those are the terrorists. Those are the people whose actions should be condemned, who should be called war criminals: for the justice of the cause determines the right to struggle.

Arafat's 1988 UN speech continued this theme:

The worldwide embrace of our just cause, pressing for the realization of peace based on justice, demonstrates clearly that the world has unequivocally identified the predator and the prey, the aggressor and the victim, the struggler for freedom and peace and the terrorist.

And "the resistance" goes on.

When the media and government spokespersons recall Arafat's recognition of Israel, they mean the PLO's acceptance of UNSCRs 242 and 338 and the amendment of the PLO Charter to eliminate provisions calling for Israel's destruction. This represents an optimistic interpretation of the PLO's actions, one that has clearly been refuted by subsequent events.

Arafat long resisted identifying any abrogated or partially abrogated articles in the PLO Charter. When forced to do so by Netanyahu, he named several in a number of letters, one of which was "ratified" pursuant to the Wye River Accords at a December 1998 rally attended by President Clinton. However, the promise to expunge the offensive language from the Charter will never be fulfilled because no new Charter will ever be drafted, as this page from the Palestinian National Authority website confirms.

Indeed, there is no consensus within the PLO that any articles of the Charter have been abrogated. A 1999 analysis published by "Palestinian moderate" Yasser Abbed Rabbo's PNA Information Ministry, whose English translation was preserved by the Wayback Machine and which I took the liberty of archiving in the original Arabic, explains, via tortured political logic, that the events of Oslo in no way contravened the 1968 PLO Charter. The key to the argument is that the State of Palestine was declared prior to the PLO's acceptance of UN Resolutions 242 and 338, and thus its existence is not contingent on peaceful relations with Israel so long as the right of return of the refugees (spelling the end of the Zionist enterprise) remains unfulfilled

''Yasser Arafat could not make the transition from guerrilla leader to national leader," Hillary Clinton said. ''At the end of the day, Mr. Arafat was unwilling or unable to take that leap of faith."

Hillary Clinton, Nov. 10

Boston Globe

Forgotten in all this is the fact that a legally elected Israeli government welecomed back Arafat in 1993. They are just as complicit in the thousands of Israelis who have been killed/maimed the last 11 years as PLO, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad are. Their names are:

Yitzhak Rabin
Shimon Peres
Yossi Beilin
Labor Party of Israel
