...Israeli leaders announced they had decided to "remove" Arafat whenever they choose.

OK, I'll be ordering the pizza if you get the keg.

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

"To Jerusalem we are going as martyrs in the millions," Arafat told the crowd.

That means sales in the 72 millions, a boon to the economy

telling hundreds of supporters they will go to Jerusalem as martyrs.

Martyrs means "dead people", right? Make that 'hundreds of thousands' instead of 'hundreds', and Yasser, you've got yourself a deal.

I don't mind if they're martyrs -- the more the merrier -- as long as they don't take Israelis with them.

"emerged from his office for a second straight night."

It's tough when your trying to stop being gay.

If past rules work, this phrasing is a coded message to Fatah, Hamas, etc. to initiate bombings.

Wouldn't surprise me. With world support Arafat feels emboldened, powerful, the center of the world. This is his diplomacy and how he fights war - two concepts undistinguished in his mind.

72 virgins apiece. Cash in Palis, while the rates are still high.

That sounds like a terrorist threat coming from Arafat to me.

The crowd of hundreds held photos of Arafat and chanted: "With our blood and souls we will redeem you."

Arafat answered: "With our blood and souls, we will redeem you Palestine."

It sounds like something big is getting ready to happen over there. Why isn't this in Breaking News or FrontPage News?

This is PROOF Arafat is the terrorist ringleader.

Probably because the lamestream media aren't picking up on it. Can't be painting Nobel-Arafat in a bad light, now.
