Several French municipalities governed by communist and left-wing majorities are considering naming a street or a square after Yasser Arafat.
The French police intelligence service, Renseignements Generaux, reportedly warned the Ministry of Interior that such initiatives might trigger heated polemics and tensions between Jews and Muslims, especially neighborhoods ridden by ethnic violence.
In several suburban cities near Paris and Lyons governed by communist mayors, large Muslim and Jewish populations live side by side.

They can put Rue de Arafat right next to Hitler Platz and Avenue de Surrender.

"The French seem to have no end to all the a** kissing they are willing to dofor terrorists."
If truth be told they did the same service for the Nazis.

Actually, I think that was said by George S. Patton. Patton fought in the European theater and MacArthur fought in the Pacific.

an alley behind the road that has all the pubs on it might be more appropriate.

Look, when they gave him an honor guard because he was a departed chief of state that was fine, protocol and everything. But naming streets and squares in Paris is too much. That is plain nuts.

It is said that when the ovens are fired up again it will be in France. Sharon's offer of safe haven to French jews wasn't done without reason and purpose.

I like the idea, as long as it's a dead end street.

Ugly French people will become known as people who grew up on Yasar Arafat st.

This is a great idea, especially since a large portion of Paris (City of Lights) will be given up for the new Palestinian State.

Naming one of their Parisian sewer tunnels after him would be more appropriate.

The Palestinians can't have 'em until we get done with 'em though, if there is anything left.

There is nothing worse then getting stabbed in the back by an enemy, except getting stabbed in the back by a so called friend.
