As good as Huma?

[Tijeras_Slim]

10 years? It seems like only yesterday we were mocking this piece of filth.

He died of Botulism, he got bad meat in a can.

[tired&retired]

There are a lot of people in Israel that are celebrating his death too!!!

[JimRed]

He’s still dead! OOORAH!

Therefore he’s no longer eligible to compete in the Ringo Starr lookalike competition.

'10 years? It seems like only yesterday we were mocking this piece of filth'

I'm the opposite. It seems like the last time I thought of him was 1976.

Muslims claim he was poisoned. The truth is he died of AIDS.

[left that other site]

Mrs. Arafat is still sending me emails offering to share the entire fortune of the “Palestinian State” with me...if I would only give her my bank account number and password.

[morphing libertarian]

Is his wife still living in Paris on the money he stole?

[Graybeard58]

Celebrating which time that he died?

He was reported dead on many different occasions, right here on F.R.

Joke:

How did the Israelis know that Arafat would die on a Jewish holiday?

They made it one.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

How did they commemorate his death? By mass buggery? After all, he died of AIDS, did he not?

[colorado tanker]

I’m celebrating too, but I’m guessing for different reasons.

[rfreedom4u]

If only he had died 20 years sooner.
