Sorry if I massively tank this. It's my first ever posted article on FR. Got this via Little Green Footballs, via an English translation of an Israeli (Guysen) website. (I know, I know.) So the rumor is that he's dead. The translation of the Guysen site is as follows:

"We do not have any more information on the state of ' ' health '' of Arafat. The news of its death is still not confirmed."

Love the translation that turns "his" into "its." Very appropriate, in Arafat's case.

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

He'll probably be harder to kill off than Idi Amin...

May God have mercy on his soul and may men show no mercy with his memory.

Unreliable news reports are usually confirmed by DEBKA, but they're on haitus this week so I don't know.

A Republican in charge of CA and Arafat dead. That would almost sorta make up for the last crappy media week.

Even if he is, Hamas probably won't reveal it. He'll be on video and audio tape messages released by Hamas for the next 10 years visa vis Bin Laden.

Very good if true.

Of course, Israel will be blamed. Arab News was reporting that Israel had a "poision death ray" it was using on Arafat a couple of weeks ago. Arafat could die of natural causes and it would be all Israel's fault.

Talk about the conspiracy to end all conspiracies. Arafat happens to die the week that DEBKA happens to take a vacation?
