A caller to my radio program suggested there might be a better way to dispose of Yasser Arafat than killing him.
She reminded me of something I had long known about the terrorist-killer-scum but have never put to use in print before.
She asked: "Wouldn't it be better to discredit Arafat than kill him?"
The question was at once terribly naive but strikingly brilliant.
There's the question of how one can discredit a monster who takes pride in his bloodlust, whose propensity for corruption and fraud and theft from his own people is legendary. I've attempted, over the years, to explain to Americans that Arafat is not only a killer of innocent Israeli citizens but more than 100 U.S. citizens as well – including diplomats assassinated in cold blood.
If that isn't enough to discredit Arafat, it's hard to imagine what could.
But then the old light bulb went on.
Arafat has maintained support from his "people" by playing tough all these years. What if they found out he was actually an old softie?
What do I mean? I mean Arafat is a homosexual. There are also persistent rumors that he is a pedophile. I mean, in his private life, he is everything the Islamic culture detests – a closet pervert.
Now, I don't pretend to believe with certainty that this column will be widely translated into Arabic and distributed throughout the Palestinian Authority. I also don't pretend to think that I know something about Arafat unknown to the oil sheikhs who support him financially. I don't pretend to believe the governments in Europe who treat him like a head of state are unaware of his predilections.
After all, one former European intelligence chief recorded his own observations of Arafat's sexual antics in a book, published 16 years ago.
I'm referring to "Red Horizons" by Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the former head of Romanian intelligence. He relates a conversation with Constantin Munteaunu, a general assigned to teach Arafat and the Palestinian Liberation Organization operations in deception and influence designed to fool the West into granting the organization recognition.
"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 very moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He's playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena."
Munteaunu continued: "I've never before seen so much cleverness, blood and filth all together in one man."
Munteaunu, wrote Pacepa, spent months pulling together secret reports from Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian intelligence agencies as well as Romanian files.
"I used to think I knew just about everything there was to know about Rahman al-Qudwa," Arafat's real name, "about the construction engineer who made a fortune in Kuwait, about the passionate collector of racing cars, about Abu Amman," Arafat's nom de guerre, "and about my friend Yasser, with all his hysterics," explained Munteaunu, handing Pacepa his final report on the PLO leader. "But I've got to admit that I didn't really know anything about him."
Wrote Pacepa: "The report was indeed an incredible account of fanaticism, of devotion to his cause, of tangled oriental political maneuvers, of lies, of embezzled PLO funds deposited in Swiss banks, and of homosexual relationships, beginning with his teacher when he was a teen-ager and ending with his current bodyguards. After reading the report, I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever I had been kissed by Arafat, or even just shaken his hand."
Do you think that might do the trick?
Would anyone like to translate this for distribution in the West Bank and Gaza?
Don't tease me.
Years ago when HIV and AIDS were first noticed, i worked for Upjohn in their now-defunct Health care Service.
We had some of the very first patients, were NOT sure how the disease was being spread... ( WEIRD stories got told) and once it became clear that it WAS a mutating, blood-borne virus, many of us were TERRIFIED that it might be spread via mosquito.
Out damned Arafat. Out I say!
LOL!
I'll settle for him being DEAD.
So long as we remember to drive a stake through his heart and stuff his mouth with garlic.
Socially segregated from women, Arab men succumb to homosexual behavior. But, interestingly enough, there is no word for "homosexual" in their culture in the modern Western sense. That is because having sex with boys, or with effeminate men, is seen as a social norm. Males serve as available substitutes for unavailable women. The male who does the penetrating, meanwhile, is not emasculated any more than if he had sex with a wife. The male who is penetrated is emasculated. The boy, however, is not, since it is rationalized that he is not yet a man.
In this culture, males sexually penetrating males becomes a manifestation of male power, conferring a status of hyper-masculinity. It is considered to have nothing to do with homosexuality. An unmarried man who has sex with boys is simply doing what men do. As the scholar Bruce Dunne has demonstrated, sex in Islamic societies is not about mutuality between partners, but about the adult male's achievement of pleasure through violent domination.
As opposed to:
We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." Al A'raf 7:80-81
"Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!" Al Shu'ara' 26:165-166
I beg the indulgence of Freepers who have heard this story, but I repeat it.
When I was in pilot training at Williams AFB in Arizona, we had several Muslim students from Saudi and Egypt.
One day, we were doing what young men do---and traded stories of out partners over a beer. One Muslim student got excited, and told us all how he raped his Philippino servant.
We were horrified.
He was stunned by our silence, and told us all that he was not a "fag." "No---HE was the faggot!" The whole episode disgusts me to this day.
You forgot West Nile.
BTTT
PING
I can assure you President Bush is NOT going to Ararat's fune
I agree with you. But--we are going to see Katie Couric and Tom Brokjaw lamenting the fact that our President shunned the General, the Amazing, the All Holy Arafat.
Arafat always seemed strange to me ;-)
So, is it plausible that Arafat sexually abused boys and then sent them out on suicide missions to shut them up?
Guess that times have changed some.
"Hyenas?
Tigers?
Dear lord...and I thought barking like a dog was weird."
Sounds like wild kingdom
RIP, Dude! You're toast!
Put some bacon on that!
McDonalds?
