GAZA (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) donated blood Wednesday for the victims of the terror attacks in New York and Washington while other Palestinians held a vigil in Jerusalem in sympathy with the United States. ''God bless them,'' Arafat said as medical staff prepared to draw his blood in Gaza Shifa hospital. Palestinian officials said his donation would be the start of a blood drive for the casualties of Tuesday's attacks

GASP. Talk about truth being stranger than fiction...... You KNOW that even if Arafat wasn't part of yesterday's terror, he had a private champagne-filled Schadenfreude party yesterday. (sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I hadn't seen it here yet....)

[fleebag]

Well, it's probably tainted.

Whooppee !!

As a multiple time blood donor, I am aware that they would use blood if the person spends significant time in third world and underdeveloped countries. In addition, Arafat has been in bad health. I doubt they will be able to use the blood, if he really did donate.

[BurkeanCyclist]

Here's hoping he donates more...a lot more.

[freedomson]

W. should say, "Thanks" and then pour it onto the ground and urinate on it.

[rintense]

This man is SCARED and is putting on the most public face of sympathy as possible- because he KNOWS he and his followers are living on borrowed time.

[FreeTally]

Exactly! It seems that many leaders who may not be directly responsible this time, but who have been in the past, are very scared and now will say or do anything to stop us from raining hell from above.

I hope somebody takes every drop from his evil body.

[A CA Guy]

Hope he gives at least 6 pints all at once.

Bump

Maybe IF we are lucky...they will forget to take the needle out.

[Jonah Hex]

I have to admit that when I read "Arafat Donates Blood for U.S. Victims", my first thought was "Whose?".

[anymouse]

Got that right. Hope Mossad brings his head back in a sack and drops it on UN Secretary General's table - and says "Middle Eastern peace negotiations were sucessful, sir."

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

It's time to revive the 40's definition of the word propoganda.

[RooRoobird14]

LOL, I was thinking the same thing, Rintense!!!

Arafat must be pretty worried right now, especially after his minions on the West Bank were filmed leaping for joy yesterday.

I wonder if that Face-Biting Rapist will now jump to Arafat's defense when Americans become enraged over this silly PR stunt.

[BenR2]

It is common knowledge (suppressed by our media maggots) in Israel that Arafat is gay. (Hint: his wife lives in Paris!)

I would flush his blood down the commode immediately.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Considering that he probably has a least two forms of hepititis, that donation is going straight in the garbage.

Re: your middle picture.

There seem to be many more people NOT celebrating...with quite awestruck looks on their faces. And the ones celebrating seem to be mostly children -- ie, the young and impresionable.
