French Town to Name Street After Yasser Arafat

A French municipal council has approved a proposal to name a newly built street after Palestinian Liberation Organization leader and arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat, the Nice Matin newspaper reported Tuesday.

The proposal was adopted by a large majority of elected representatives of of the south-western town La Seyne-sur-Mer.

According to Mayor Marc Vuillemot, the proposal was brought forward by the town's residents and only a handful of representatives voted against it.

Those who opposed the measure were reportedly unhappy with honoring a "controversial figure" or, as others described Arafat, a "terrorist."

"There is also a Yitzhak Rabin-street in the district. To my knowledge, the two men received the Nobel Peace Prize together," the Socialist Party Mayor said in response to the critics.

With La Seyne-sur-Mer's adoption of the proposal, France will see the country's first ever street to be named after Arafat, who died in a French hospital in 2004.

It connects through a back alley with Rue de Bodyguard, and has a square called Achilles Lauro with a statue of an empty wheel chair.

France is a lost cause. Sold out by its ruling elite to the islamonazis. Gone down the toilet. Shame.

He was nothing but a terrorist that didn’t die soon enough.

100 years from now it's going to very interesting times. In my opinion.

they will be left with three options:
1. The Europeans leave Europe.
2. Fight and remove. As the Italians did.
3. allow the take over.

Irrelevant.

The minute that Pedophile murderer received the Nobel Prize for Peace (for pretending to make Peace with Israel - Oslo, 1993), nothing else mattered.

In the warped Paleostinian viewpoint, he's a hero, the Godfather of the Paleostinian people.

Reality just does not count in the Arab, Muslim mind whether they be secular, like his FATAH movement (committed hundreds of atrocities, the most famous, the 1972 Olympics murder of 11 Israeli athletes) or religious (HAMAS).

They are naturally born killers and makers of mayhem which is exactly what they claim the Israelis are.

Psychological “Transference” is a wonderful tool.

That would be "Rue du Cochon Sale."

In French, "de + le" is contracted to "du" (="of the").
