Why they haven't squashed that toad before now is beyond me.

This is a good question that would of been answered a long time ago in the affirmative, if the idiots in the State Department and the White House were not so enamoured with Saudi Arabia.

The rotten, filthy, old ba**ard is responsible for numerous terror incidents. Many recent ones too. Just off him. Get it over with since he has recently embraced Islam (godless commie homo that he is) and Islamics love martyrdom. So do him a favor

Of course he should be killed. Its not even a subject for a debate. Arafart's a terrorist with Jewish blood on his head.

They are not going to kill Arafat or even expell him, I would bet everything on that. The reason is because Arafat is so demonised, that it serves the Israelis well to keep him there for propaganda purposes. You can talk about this and that, but Arafat is staying.

This has always been discussed, however, the US safety net over Arafat has overruled such just action against the terrorist.

"Arafat has been confined by Israeli military forces to his partially destroyed compound in the West Bank city of Ramallah for the last 18 months." Don'tcha know that this place has got to have developed a pretty foul odour by now? Or does it have running wa-wa?
This story reads as if someone - just now - has for the first time come up with the idea that perhaps Aero-phat might - MIGHT - be a thorn in the side of any peace efforts and MAYBE - just MAYBE - things might be better if he were to assume room temp.
Fact is that taking the jerk out has been debated for over a decade, and for reasons unknown, the Israelis have always decided that having him alive is better than the martyrdom that would result were he dust. The currently-running debate is over how to get rid of him without creating a martyr.
And it would take no planning whatsoever to get rid of his heartbeat. If it were decided to do so right now, the deed could easily be accomplished in the next 5 minutes.
That said - as long as Aero-phat is alive, there will be no peace. Aero himself is an enemy of peace - he exists as a warrior on a mission. In some ways he's like the Democrats - always fighting for issues they never plan to enact, for to do so would rob them of the issue to stump with. If there is peace in the Muddle East, then Aero has nothing to live for.
Which is why he's got to go. And the billions he's got stashed must be liberated.

Arafat doesn't just have Jewish blood on his hands, he has plenty of American blood also. And Arab blood. The US govt has had people killed for a lot less.
The usual excuse for not killing him is that, if Arafat were dead, someone worse might fill his spot. I got a surprise for the people making this argument: It's not a question of IF Arafat dies, only WHEN. That fact cannot be disputed no matter what your politics might be. Arafat is gonna die and go to hell someday (soon I hope) and then there will be a vacancy and whenever that happens, the Arabs will probably not be interested in Jewish suggestions about a replacement.
Better to kill Arafat now - on OUR timetable - and let the Arabs kill each other (for a change) for the dubious honor of being the next King of Terrorists ... and then the finalists in that contest will also be dealt with, and the cycle can repeat until nobody wants the job. And while we're at it, kill off the mullahs, and muftis and sheiks who are making those broadcast sermons about Kill Jews, Kill Americans. Make it real clear that inciting the murder of Americans and their close allies is a Very Hazardous Occupation.

"Arafart's a terrorist with Jewish blood on his head."
And not just Jewish. He's also killed Americans.
To: Reactionary
He killed two American diplomats. What's Colon Bowell's excuse for keeping that piece of human offal alive??

This is their way of letting everyone know what's coming. Finally!
To: Alouette
Of course they've talked about killing Arafat. The very interesting question is:
Why is the Israeli chief of staff saying this publicly now?Officers at this level do not make statements with such ramifications without a reason. What is that reason? and why just now?
