Sorry if I massively tank this. It's my first ever posted article on FR. Got this via Little Green Footballs, via an English translation of an Israeli (Guysen) website. (I know, I know.) So the rumor is that he's dead. The translation of the Guysen site is as follows:

"We do not have any more information on the state of ' ' health '' of Arafat. The news of its death is still not confirmed."

Love the translation that turns "his" into "its." Very appropriate, in Arafat's case.

Howdy! We can hope. And if this is true I'll do my happy dance.

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

Even if he is, Hamas probably won't reveal it. He'll be on video and audio tape messages released by Hamas for the next 10 years visa vis Bin Laden.

Very good if true.

Of course, Israel will be blamed. Arab News was reporting that Israel had a "poision death ray" it was using on Arafat a couple of weeks ago. Arafat could die of natural causes and it would be all Israel's fault.

If not, Israel should just go ahead and kill him anyway. You know "the arab street" will put the full blame Israel and America no matter which way he checks out.

Israel Has Lockdown on Palestinian Towns

JERUSALEM (AP)--Trying to prevent another terror attack during the Jewish holidays, Israel enforced an open-ended lockdown of Palestinian towns Wednesday and ordered two more battalions into the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The closure was extended as questions arose over the health of Yasser Arafat after he appeared in public looking haggard and disoriented. Advisers denied a report he has suffered a mild heart attack, saying Arafat--the leading champion of the Palestinian cause over four decades--is weak from a stomach flu.
