Who murdered Arafat?
How about some speculation of what will be in the Arab press when Arafat finally succumbs to his mysterious illness?
Of course the Israelis and the CIA did him in with their superpowers; but how? |

I am not sure that the death of Arafat is such a great thing. If it was, he would have died of a "suspicious illness" years ago. The thing that has kept Arafat alive and in power is quite simple. Nobody has any idea who is going to replace him. Compared to some of the nutcases out there, Arafat is a moderate.

Yup, seems there's a rumor of poisoning. My source was www.aftenposten.no that listed it among several rumors going around. One rumor claims that Arafat is doing great. So who was it that said that AUP would be first to mention wacky conspiracy theories?

"Anyhow, we are talking about a demographic that still believes jews were not told to go to work on 9-11 as Mossad cameramen danced with joy on New Jersey rooftops..." And most of your US "demographic" thinks that Saddam was responsible for it. Go figure eh? |

If they kept me pinned down in some little bombed out ruin for three years it'd probably be death by STD.
![]() Sheesh, I just feel almost nothing for the guy. He's worked so long for his own ego and power it's hard to give a damn. He's lived a long life, will be remembered as a great hero and martyr, surrounded by pretty French nurses (a personal deathbed wish of mine). One of his 'supporters' will probably accidentally pull the plug. |

He'll be buried as a hero but it's very possible, if the Palestinians move now toward statehood, Arafat will not be remembered kindly by Palestinian historians. |

"Well that didn't take long. Arafat poisoned? " I guess stuff like this doesn`t actually inspire confidence among Palestinians that he wasn`t poisoned. Looks like they had their reasons. Quote: Many Palestinians are convinced that Ariel Sharon, the implacable opponent with whom he had first duelled in exile in Lebanon, had a hand in Arafat's collapse. They remember Sharon's statement earlier this year that he no longer felt bound by his promise "not to harm" Arafat. In a cunningly vague article in the Jerusalem Post his confidant, Uri Dan, yesterday hinted that Sharon "eliminated" Arafat via one of his chefs. So it is not surprising that rumours are swirling that Arafat was surreptitiously poisoned or infected. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists...344288,00.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think this was reported on both BBC and C4 News tonight. |

The only thing which I hope the people in power are realizing, is that the "war on terror" begins and ends with the Israel/Palestine conflict.
I have no qualms in hoping that Arafat croaks. He was in many ways a stumbling block for peace. What I hope even more is that Bush realizes that his war on terror can be substantially more successful if he decides that the parties to the Israel/Palestine conflict must be f**king forced to reach a solution. |

Okay, here's the scoop. Listen up.
Stop blaming Israel. And don't bother blaming Bush either. I admit it. I did it. Me. Me, personally. I'm responsible. I'll be giving autographs at 9:00 PM est (that roughly 15 minutes) |

If "they" wanted arafat dead, he would have been dead a thousand times over. Last I heard, he may have had AIDS. (it must get a little lonely in the compound after a couple of years.....)

Anyway, it's easy to poison someone. It would take some terribly expensive poisons to produce the symptoms that have been reported about Arafat. Platelet count, people? Leukocytosis? Powdered uranium or plutonium, over a period of a decade or so, would be the easiest. And even then, there's only a fairly small chance. But I'm sure a lot of people here will think it's just evidence of how sneaky those kikes are. |

"No, they don't. Not that you care about the truth."
Is that it? Up to your usual standard of devestating rebuttals eh? No wonder, you`re probably one of them

ZN:
"The funny thing about the claim of poisioning Demon is that one hundred doctors have seen him since late October, the best doctors in France tested his soon-to-be corpse, yet Israel poisoned him is still "a possibility" for Ali Kazak and Ashraf Kurdi." ZN, I`m not saying he was poisoned ok? As you`ll know, I`ve made it clear in the past that as far as I was concerned, Arafat was not such a problem for Sharon and his Likudniks. They had him buried long before this. However, if fuel is added to the flames then no one should be suprised when these rumours start doing the rounds. |

New theory: Arafat poisoned himself.
With all this Jewish conspiracy momentum out there, I'm surprised someone isn't on Broadway producing "Jews - The Musical." The opening number could be about the writing of the Protocols, then a couple of scences taking us up to WW I. Lyrics might be a bit tough, what rhymes with Rothchilds? We may have a hit here. Quick, get Mel Brooks on the line. |

I'm going to start looking for:
Arafat was moved to France so those ghoulish Jewish doctors could sell his organs on the black market, like they always do. Shhhh, be very, very quiet. I'm hunting conspiracies. |

As of last month, only 42 percent of Americans still believe deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attacks according to a USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll. The poll also found 75 percent of Bush backers believe Hussein substantively helped al-Qaida, and 55 percent incorrectly think the 9/11 Commission came to the same conclusion. |

Here is one of many sites speculating that he is suffering from AIDS.

Debka says the French are trying to kick Arafat out. Fascinating stuff. Looks like only the Tunisians would allow for Arafat's sendoff.
