Where will Arafat be Buried?

The Palestinians, of course, say Jerusalem.

Perhaps they will stuff and mount him (after rushing his corpse through the streets and trampling upon it a few times, of course).

Politically, he would remain just as effective.

It's a beautiful autumn here in our nation's capital, and thanks to a wet and relatively mild summer the leaves have turned lovely colors before making their annual journey to people's lawns. In my town, you rake your leaves to the street and periodically, a giant vacuum truck comes along and sucks them up. They are shredded and taken to a leaf-recycling area, and over the next five months, they will slowly turn into a rich mulch. For a a tiny fee, the city will deliver a truckload of that mulch to your driveway, and before you set out your annuals in the spring, you can spread this mulch over your garden and help insure another beautiful spring in Alexandria, and ponder the wonder of life recycling itself.

I have a big pile of leaves in front of my house. If anyone wants to drop Yassir off in it, I'll have no objection. Provided he doesn't stink too much.

Option 2: Alpo.

The Dakotas, North or South. It would serve as a metephor for the development that he spearheaded for the Palistinian people.

Bury him in his homeland. Egypt. Somewhere deep in the desert far away from civilized folks.

Somehow I feel burying Arafat in Jerusalem is and insult to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. For he murdered jews, christians and muslims during his 30 year carreer as a international terrorist.

I don't care where, as long as it's deep and capped with a few tons of concrete. An abandoned mineshaft would also suffice.

I can't help but think of Timothy Leary's ashes riding into space on a rocket, but with God's sense of irony Arafat's would probably blow up on the pad.

I dunno about anyone else but Arafat's demise is the best Christmas present a jew can ever hope for!

I truely am walking on a cloud these past few days and feel a sense of joy that I am sure most jews feel around the world. My only regret is that Arafraud died before he could answer for the atrocities committed during his unrelenting carreer.

I'll bet there are a lot of Muslims secretly thinking the same thing.

Bury him in Jerusalem.

If any the palis want him buried on their ground their it is their right.

If anyone says that they shouldn't do it because it would lessen the purity of the holy land. I say "Holy land my @ss, he is perfect for such a hellhole."

If he wants to be buried in Jerusalem, they should creamate him and flush his ashes down a toilet in a Jerusalem police station.

Arafat is a terrorist who spent his life working toward the destruction of Israel. Why would the Israeli's allow him to be buried in their country?

Since Israel isn't interested.....

How about Jordan? Black September in Jordan 1970-1971, nope... Jordan isn't interested.

How about Lebanon? Palestinian-Lebanese Hostility 1969 / Lebanese-Palestinian Clashes 1970 / Lebanese-Palestinian Violence 1971 / Lebanese-Palestinian Clashes 1973 / Lebanese Civil War 1975-1976, nope... Lebanon isn't interested.
