According to the Fatah spokesman, the raid on Arafat's house, which has been empty since 2001

For being empty, sure sounds like there was a lot of stuff laying about.

I couldn’t care less about the peace prize. I’m more interested in the papers they stole and what they may find there. Arafat was ripping the palis off pretty good.

Agreed. I don’t think there’s much we can add.

The house was inhabited and maintained by a herd of goats.

This is great; now they can sell it to Al Gore when he doesn’t win one on his own. They can call it the Global Stolen Prize........

I made this comment to the JPost article (to appear shortly)...

This is what they do. Allah likes it.

Bukhari V4B52N46 “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘Allah guarantees that He will admit the Muslim fighter into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and booty.’”

Mrs. Arafat has been meaning for some years now to return from Paris and pick it up.

“Can somebody break into Jimmy Carter’s home and steal his Nobel?”

How about just breaking into Jimmy’s house and stealing Jimmy? Probably not, he’s worthless

Well, I feel bad for the guy. After all, if it weren’t for Arafat’s efforts that place wouldn’t be the garden of peace and contentment that it is today.

Hope they had fun, they may all wake up tomorrow with a mega case of the clap! I wouldn’t even touch a doorknob if I knew that Yassir had ever turned it! Chlorox just ain’t strong enough!
Yassir’s widow, I hear, has since remarried, goodness, gracious, can anyone imagine being second in line after Yassir? Some things just won’t wash off!

They stole many of Arafat's documents and files

Any bets that the missing files are found two years from now in the residence at Chappaqua?
