If Jewish management of the banking system is anything close to what the conspiracy theorists say it is, the IDF should know. Lol!

[Catspaw]

Funny--Yasser's worth $1.3 BILLION, and yet a recent report said that children in the West Bank & Gaza were malnourished. It looks like Yasser doesn't know the meaning of "share."

[mewzilla]

Meanwhile the Palestinian people live in squalor. And who do they blame? Israelis. Got help Tubby when they get a clue.

[Love of Country]

Thar's gold in that there terrorism!

[crystalk]

My God, that is enough to support every man woman and child in the present West Bank and Gaza territories for a full year, all embezzled and fleeced by Arafat into his personal name from funds donated by the West and by oil-Arabs to supposedly help the Palestinian people.

The only way Arafat could help the Palestinians would be by committing suicide 30 years ago.

I think Israel should sue Arafat et al for embezzlement et al, if he has this, think what the OTHER Pallie big-time has stolen!

You think Israel would earn any gratitude if they took this booty away from these monsters?

[ppaul]

And, we keep shoveling more U.S. taxpayer dollars his way!
$500 million+ per year.

[beowolf]

That explains why Jesse Jackson went to see him. They comparing methods of extortion and hiding assets...

[Bahbah]

I am intrigued by the image of mass demonstrations in Tubas, which I guess would be carried out by very small, musically inclined Palistinians.

Saddam has built 4 castles worth over 3 billion dollars while his people do without, and not a peep outta them......

The followers of these tyrants are sheep made to be slaughtered.

[SupplySider]

"...terror attacks were recently prevented as a result of pressure by relatives, who feared expulsion to Gaza or demolition of their homes."

Nice family members. "Please blow yourself up, we will receive glory and money... no wait, they will destroy our house, better not do it..."

Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat has personal assets estimated at a value of $1.3 billion, IDF Intelligence Chief Major General Aharon Ze'evi (Farakash) said Tuesday.

You'd think that the ugly bustard could afford a decent shave and a shower!

[1234]

arafat $$ stuff sounds true; would IDF be compromising their methods by proving, TO THE WORLD, this outrageous claim?

[ken in texas]

I think we should take our money back.

[monkeyshine]

Unless I missed it, the headline has nothing to do with the story.

[Egregious Philbin]

Where'd he get 1.3 billion? I can't imagine it's that much!

[Grampa Dave]

Just proof that there is big Opecker money in terrorism. The best place in terrorism is to be a broker and booking agent like Arafat. You collect money from the degenerates who control OPEC for suicide bombers. Then you take 50% as your share, your underlyings take 45% and that leaves enough for the relatives and the cost of the bombs.

This thread ties right in with this: ('Saddam Willing To Fight America To the Last Palestinian')

What World that is not insane allows a murderer these riches from murder? What does that say of us, the mightiest nation that has ever existed that we allow this man, who murders our citizens again and again to remain wealthy, to remain respected in any degree, to remain alive?

What are we bums, wimps, nincompoops?

[A CA Guy]

Go in by computer and seize the assets unless they can show a just way that he could have ammassed a fortune.
He can't say it was ALL from that $10,000 investment in Enron.
