Arafat Goes To Hell
Truth News ^ | November 11, 2004

Posted on 11/11/2004 9:26:54 AM PST by Tumbleweed_Connection

Palestinian terrorist leader Yasser Arafat died early Thursday morning after his brain exploded in a Paris hospital.

The Nobel Prize winning serial killer's death was announced by Palestinian officials and the Percy Medical Hospital outside Paris, where Arafat arrived for treatment of a mysterious illness, reputed to be AIDS, nearly two weeks ago. The hospital said the 75-year-old mass murderer died in the early morning hours.

Arafat had been in a coma for several days. His brain exploded on Tuesday, prompting several news reports that the crazed killer was already dead. The brain explosion is technically known as a cerebral hemorrhage.

Arafat, who has killed more Jews than any man since Adolf Hitler, was flown to Paris by the French government for medical treatment. Under French care, his condition rapidly deteriorated, and he went into a coma over a week ago.

His condition launched a flurry of contradictory news reports that he was dead, or brain dead, long before his demise was announced. It also unleashed a clash between his wife Suha and Palestinian officials.

Arafat's carcass will be flown to Cairo for a memorial ceremony and, after that, to the West Bank city of Ramallah, for burial. The arrangements were finalized after Israeli authorities gave the green light for his Ramallah burial.

Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, Egypt on August 24, 1929, under the name Mohammed al-Hussein. He and several cronies formed the terrorist group Fatah during the 1950s. Fatah began launching guerrilla raids and terrorist attacks into Israel, and joined the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), founded in East Jerusalem under Egyptian patronage in 1964 for the express purpose of eradicating the Jewish state.

After Israel defeated Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in the Six-Day War of 1967, Arafat led a coup against PLO founding chairman Ahmed Shukiry in 1968. Arafat adopted an authoritarian style of one-man rule and relocated his base to Jordan, from where the PLO and its various factions carried out a series of terrorist attacks, including hijackings in Europe and the Middle East.

Jordan's King Hussein ordered his troops to drive the PLO out in the bloody 1971 confrontation known as Black September. Arafat and the PLO then made their home in Lebanon, again defiantly setting up a state-within-a-state and continuing terror attacks against Israel, including the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

In 1974, Arafat was invited to address the United Nations, which granted observer status to the PLO. Arafat also won pan-Arab recognition of the PLO as the "sole legitimate representative" of the Palestinian people.

In 1975, the PLO presence in Lebanon plunged the nation into a protracted civil war. In June 1982 Israel sent troops to drive the PLO out of Lebanon. Trapped like a rat in the Lebanese capitol of Beirut, Arafat was escorted out and allowed to continue his terrorist attacks from the Arab North African country Tunisia.

Palestinians inside the disputed territories launched an uprising, or "intifada," against Israeli rule in late 1987. Arafat tried to take control of the intifada, but in 1990, he publicly supported Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait.

After the US-led coalition forced Hussein’s troops out of Kuwait, Arafat was left out of the historic Madrid Peace Conference in 1991, with Palestinian representatives from the territories attending as part of the Jordanian delegation.

Arafat directed the Palestinian delegates to stall progress in the talks, while sending envoys to Norway for secret, direct negotiations with Israel’s Labor party. This resulted the Oslo agreement of 1993, a seven-year peace treaty in which Israel accepted the PLO as a negotiating partner in exchange for Arafat once again renouncing terror.

In 1994, Arafat was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. As part of the Oslo peace accords, he was allowed entry into Gaza and was elected chairman of the new Palestinian Authority in 1996. Rabin was assassinated in 1995, to be replaced as Prime Minister by Peres, then Benjamin Netanyahu, then Ehud Barak.

As the seven-year peace process drew to a close in the year 2000, then-U.S. President Bill Clinton invited Arafat, Barak, and Peres to Camp David outside Washington, to begin final status negotiations. But Arafat rejected a deal that would have given the Palestinians an independent state with its capitol in East Jerusalem. The agreement, proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, would have given the Palestinians 98 percent of the disputed territory captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. Arafat subsequently initiated a wave of terrorism that has resulted in the murders of 1,032 people in the ensuing 4 years.

During most of the Palestinian uprising, Israeli forces confined Arafat to his Ramallah headquarters, while U.S. president George Bush refused to meet or speak with the terrorist leader. Israeli voters kicked Barak out in 2001, electing Ariel Sharon instead. In 2002, Bush called on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders "not compromised by terror."

I think someone "slipped" him something. Mossad? It was reght before the elction here in the US and perhaps the USA was just making sure things would be "set up" for the next administration. Also perhaps the USA and Mossad knew that confiing this old devil to Ramalla for a couple of years would hasten his faling health. I just find it so conveniant that he died right after the elction. Its the kind of feeling I had when Reagan was just elected and they "suddenly" released the hostages.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.  We never know what goes on behind closed doors.

What I find terribly upsetting: he hadn't been with his wife for 4 years.  Yet, this wife of his was receiving over $1 hundred thousand some dollars a MONTH to live on.

Some say she is the one that wouldn't allow him to be declared dead, until she got her footing squarely on the money she had coming in.  That to me is a sin.  Where the heck did all that money come from?  And they say Arafat is or was worth BILLIONS.

I think the brain explosion on Tuesday was just an aftershock of a much more violent one which occurred much earlier in his life.

He's crispy by now, no doubt.

When asked for his reaction to his new living quarters, Arafat had this to say:

"Aaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Aaah! Aaah! It burns! It burns! Aaaaah! Aaaaah! All alone, yet they are here! Why so dark when all the flames--oh God what is that coming out of--what is that thing? Get it away! Get it away! Don't let it near my--aaaaaah! Aaaaaaaaah!

Repeat without end.

I know: it's tacky and heartless and spiritually presumptuous. But tonight, let it be Schadenfreude.

Arafat, the founder of the palestinian lie, dies, may he rot in hell. The problem is, the lie he created continues to live. Now would be a good time to track back his footsteps and expose them, expose the thousands of jordanians he murdered and uprooted, creating the "palestinian people". Lets not forget his mentor, his uncle, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem who was an ss comander among other things. Araphat also made "mein Kampf" a best seller in he arab world.

A fitting punishment would be for Arafat to spend all eternity as a bus driver picking up homicide bombers, being blown to bits and then have to start his route all over again like Sisyphus with the rock.

Are they going to bury him wearing a clean dish towel, or his usual dirty one?

1941 – Grand Mufti Visits Adolf Hitler in Germany

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, visits Berlin, meets with Hitler and makes Arabic radio broadcasts to Islamic troops fighting for the Nazi Third Reich. The mufti and some of his aides participate in plans for the destruction of European Jewry and help the German propaganda machine. The mufti works to build his personal stature in the world as a major Arab leader.

In May 1941, German planes land in Syria with the consent of the French Vichy authorities and then continue to Iraq to help the rebels against the British. Jewish leaders in Jerusalem become convinced of an Axis invasion from the north.

The French did something right, finally. Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds an acorn
