11/11   Arafat was... Gay?
        http://www.jnewswire.com/library/article.php?articleid=350
        \_ I think he really died of BEING OLD
        \_ this is first time you have heard this!?  You live under
           a rock?
        \_ love how they write Palestinian in quotes. "So-called 'leader'
           of 'nation' mourned by 'people'."
        \_ Hearing it from an Israeli source makes it less believable.
           \_ No, hearing it from something that sounds like the Israeli
              equivalent of the Arch-freeper makes it less believable.
              \_ I thought it read more like the New York Post.
                 \_ NYP is Nobel literature compared to this shit.  It's more
                    like the pro-muslim/pro-Israeli nutjobs at Sather Gate.
                    \_ Just for the hell of it, I went and read the NYP's
                       article from today on Arafat for comparison, and
                       you're absolutely right.  This is far kookier.
        \_ "medical experts believe the blood-soaked Muslim terror
            chief is dying from complications related to the AIDS
            virus." Any paper use this kind of language cannot be trusted.
            \_ Heh, that's why I posted it.  I thought it was funny.

6/6     It is impossible not to be reminded of the classic Jewish joke
        about the Jewish mother in Russia taking leave of her son, who
        has been called up to serve the Czar in the war against Turkey.
        "Don't overexert yourself'" she implores him, "Kill a Turk and
        rest. Kill another Turk and rest again…"
        "But mother," the son interrupts, "What if the Turk kills me?"

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent

12/4    you know the 1999 ending of ST:DS9 shows the protagonists working
        as terrorists, and all worried about a police state coming for the
        federation.  Funny timing, no?
        \_ At that point in time there was a bit of sympathy people were
           starting to extend to "freedom fighters"; vis a vis all the

           Of course, giving Obama the peace prize is dumb, but it's a step
           up from Al Gore.  At least a dozen steps up from Arafat.
           \_ Kissinger beats them all.

Law forbids monument to Arafat in Israel JERUSALEM - Based on the symptoms Yasser Arafat is suffering from, as wel l as accounts of his rampantly homosexual past, political pundits and me dical experts believe the blood-soaked Muslim terror chief is dying from complications related to the AIDS virus. Arafat has been hospitalized outside of Paris for more than a week with b lotchy skin, a low platelet count that is affecting his immune system, d ecreased mental capacity and a considerable loss of weight all indicat ors of the presence of AIDS. His homosexual tendencies have been attested to by numerous sources, incl uding a now infamous set of surveillance videos taken by his former comm unist allies in Romania showing Arafat in perverted encounters with his bodyguards. Though he reportedly slipped into a terminal coma last week, Arafats wif e is said to be keeping him connected to life support long enough to gai n access to the vast wealth he had horded over the years. Palestinian officials in Ramallah suggested his death would be official ly announced on Tuesday to coincide with the Muslim holy day of Lailat a l-Kader, when, according to Islamic lore, the Koran was given to the Pro phet Mohammed. Israel has stated Arafat would not be allowed burial in Jerusalem or Jude a and Samaria, but have granted tacit approval to inter the father of m odern terrorism in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and former premier Mahmoud Abba s work to secure their positions atop the Palestinian power structure by seeking unity with terror groups such as Hamas. Arafat, however, has reportedly named openly anti-Israel PLO official Far ouk Kadoumi as his successor. has a blood disease that is depressing his immune syste m We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight - possibly a s much as one-third of all his body weight. We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. Israel Ins ider quoted former White House speechwriter David Frum as asking. Writing for National Review Online, Frum blasted the mainstream media for their bias in refusing to question whether or not Arafat was infected with the killer disease. Frum is only the latest of a growing number of political pundits and medi cal experts that have speculated Arafat is dying from the AIDS virus. Intelligence analyst John Loftus told ABC News last month that the CIA ha d known for years Arafat was infected with AIDS, and it was largely due to this fact Washington had urged Israel not to eliminate him. It was deemed better to have Arafat discredited as a homosexual, Loftus said. Israel Insider notes that while homosexuality is rife in the Arab world, it is at least officially consider a sin and a crime, and regarded - es pecially in fundamentalist circles - as a mark of great shame and deprav ity. Roaring tiger Allegations regarding Arafats homosexuality have been fueled primarily b y evidence provided by his former communist allies in Romania. During the 1970s and 1980s, Arafat was a regular in Nicolae Ceausescus Bucharest, where Romanian intelligence and its KGB overlords were provi ding the PLO with the means to gain legitimacy in the West. Ion Pacepa, the deputy chief of Roma nia's intelligence service, had rigged his guest suites with surveillanc e equipment. In his book Red Horizons, Pacepa unveils Arafat as an insatiable homose xual by recalling a telephone conversation with Constantin Munteaunu, a general assigned to the PLO. "I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the 'Fedayee ,'" Arafat's code name, explained Munteaunu. "After the meeting with the Comrade, he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this ve ry moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The offi cer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and t he squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena." Pacepa wrote that after reading the full intelligence reports, I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever I had been kissed by Arafat, or eve n just shaken his hand." For days Arafat has reportedly been hooked to life support machines, afte r suffering a full collapse of all vital organs. His wife, Suha, is said to be in control of when the plug is pulled. But before doing that, Suha and top PA officials hope to gain access to t he vast hordes of money to which Arafat alone had access for the past 30 years. It was on the strength of these finances and his sole control over them t hat Arafat maintained his position. According to reports, Arafat has as much as $5 billion stashed away in Sw iss bank accounts. Most of it came from the PLOs long years of drug tra fficking in Lebanon, but much was also pilfered from international aid m eant to help the Palestinians establish a state. It is amazing that some US officials still see the Palestinian Authority as a partner even after US congressional records revealed authenticated PLO papers signed by Arafat in which he instructed his staff to divert donors' money to projects benefiting himself, his family and his associa tes, Issam Abu Issa, founder of the Palestine International Bank, said in a report for Middle East Quarterly. When asked by Qureia and Abbas last week as he boarded a Jordanian milita ry helicopter in Ramallah how to access the funds needed to keep the PA functioning, Arafat simply replied, I'm still alive, thank God, so don' t worry. Postponed death announcement An official announcement regarding Arafats death has also reportedly bee n postponed until Qureia and Abbas have are able to secure their positio ns atop the Palestinian power structure. Over the weekend, Qureia met with representatives from Hamas and other te rrorist organizations in order to persuade them to join the Palestinian Authority under his leadership. Hamas instead demanded the formation of a power sharing government in whi ch it would retain its independent status. One official source in Ramallah suggested Arafats death would be announc ed on Tuesday, to coincide with the Muslim holy day of Lailat al-Kader, when, according to Islamic lore, the Koran was given to the Prophet Moha mmed. Burial site battle lines Whenever Arafats death does become official, the first point of contenti on that is to mark a tumultuous aftermath to his death will likely be ov er his burial site. Israel says it is ready to let Arafat be interred in the Gaza Strip, but that Jerusalem and even Judea and Samaria are off limits. Prior to his death, Arafat had expressed a desire to be buried atop Jerus alems Temple Mount. Palestinian officials are expected to demand Isra el acquiesce to this wish. Israeli Justice Minister Yosef Lapid told the Associated Press last Frida y that Jerusalem is the city where Jewish kings are buried, not Arab te rrorists.
