“State Dept. friends of mine talked for years about gay orgy’s Arafat would attend and debauch himself. He eventually died of AIDS. “
I assume when I ask you if you have ANY sort of proof to back up that accusation, you’re gonna have real proof, right?
I mean you wouldn’t come in here with an accusation like that, with nothing but some limp “well my close friend, who I can’t identify, who used to work at the State Department told me all about it...” Would you?
An old pal of the Ugly One said in a television interview that he was told that (reluctantly) by former aides of UO.
Publicly, no. To paraphrase Han Solo, Muslims have a habit of cutting people's heads off when they get upset. So I wouldn't do that to my friend. But Google around and you'll see plenty of corroboration for Arafat being a flaming homo. In fact, you should be able to find out about the Palestinian cartoonist who was murdered after making a cartoon which mereley hinted at Arafat's lifestyle.

Ion Pacepa, who was deputy chief of Romanian foreign intelligence under the Ceausescu regime and who defected to the West in 1978, stated in his memoirs the Romanian government bugged Arafat and had recordings of the Arab leader in orgies with his security detail.
