Yasser Arafat is reported dead; Palestinian PM contests report

At his press conference just now, President Bush replied to question about Arafat’s passing, saying only, ” God bless his soul. We will continue to work for a free Palestinian state for peace with Israel.”

The Palestinian Prime Minister contested reports that Arafat was clinically dead; see Reuters report at bottom.

From a German newspaper:

Yasser Arafat has died at the age of 75 after failing to be revived from the coma he slipped into on Wednesday at the French military hospital where he was being treated for an undiagnosed blood and digestive disorder.

Yasser Arafat, the 75 year-old Palestinian leader, has died in the intensive care department of the French military hospital where he was being treated for an unknown illness.

The frail head of the Palestinian Authority arrived in Paris last week after losing consciousness briefly at his West Bank headquarters. Arafat was at first said to have been suffering from a severe case of influenza, but was later diagnosed as having blood abnormalities and trouble with digestion.

Palestinian officials then ran tests for leukemia but the cancer was ruled out, and doctors remained uncertain what was causing his illness. Arafat’s condition worsened three days ago and he slipped into a coma on Wednesday.

This from Agence-France Presse:

Veteran Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) died in a hospital in France, Israeli private television and military radio reported.

The 75-year-old had been treated at a military hospital on the outskirts of Paris since being flown out of his West Bank headquarters on Friday.

Doctors in Paris had earlier said that Arafat was in a coma while his top advisor had said that he was in a critical condition.

From Reuters:

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was declared clinically dead on Thursday in a French hospital, Israeli television said citing French sources.

But Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie denied the report, saying: “I have just spoken to the officials in Paris and they say the situation is still as it was. He is still in the intensive care unit.”

Israel’s Channel Two television cited unnamed sources in Paris saying that Arafat underwent a brain scan and was found to be “no longer alive.”

Palestinian sources earlier told Reuters that the Palestinian president, who was admitted to hospital last week with a mysterious stomach illness, had slipped into a coma.

Somehow, someway, this will be blamed on the Jews.

Maybe the Palestinians will now find a leader that can bring them peace.

I agree they will blame it on Israel to still up the masses.

As I said in one of my previous posts, this is truly the beginning of a new age. Consider the recent chain of events. The demise of Saddam Husein, The Bush victory and now we hear of the death of that terrorist Arafat. Is this not MIRACULOUS? The Messiah walks among us. I am convinced of this just as sure as I live and breath. The hand of God is in all of this to be sure.

Arafat wants to be buried on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Yea, like that will ever happen. If the palestinians try to push the issue there will be a Jewish Jihad for sure. The Israelis have been treating these pigs with kid gloves compared to what they could do if pushed to the brink.

Somebody call Little Nicky and have him get a pineapple ready.

[Kimmymac]

I just never get these references like Little Nicky and the Pineapple. I don't think I get out enough.

Arafat dead? Well, gevaldikeh zach! tsktsk!

Arafat buried at the Temple Mount would be big time disgusting, bordering on blasphemy, and this from a Swedish/Scottish goyeh.

The Israelis should tell the Palestinians gai feifen alfen yam. Bury him in the land Sharon gave back.

Yes, digger, it does seem as if God has been looking into things here. Perhaps now that we have a president with the stones to challenge the evildoers, we will see many signs and wonders.

Interesting you'd say that Kimmy,
Arafat called for blood, lived on it, celebrated it...and is dieing from a blood disorder nobody can figure out. Reap what you sow.

I don't think they need to bury him at all. Why not just pack him full of explosives and send him to paradise? Just like he preached.

You've got to watch the movie "Little Nicky" with Adam Sadler sometime. I think you would enjoy it.
