Actually no, you're wrong. Doctors and the wife knew he was in a coma.
heres a joke....
"yassir arafat went to a fortune teller to have her predict is fortune. She said: 'you will die on a Jewish holiday.' 'Oh really?' yassir replied, 'Which one?' She answered, 'which ever day you die.'"
thought that was funny.
to be honest, i do believe it is for the better. word is that a moderate who is on good terms with the Isrealis will be appointed as the leader of the PLO, or whatever the palestininans are ralling behind. remember arafat started the infateh, or however you spell it, causing much vandalism and hate. i do believe things are going to get better
Finally! It's about time the old war-monger croaked! Now if only Sharon would do the same...
Sharon's party was elected into power because he promised to be rough with the Palestinian militants. Arafat's support of terrorism basically put Sharon in office. Hopefully, with Arafat dead, Sharon won't be reelected and there will be some change.
I bet Arafat's breaking in his 70 virgins as we speak.
Oh also y'all know that there is no Palestine, right? So in other words, Arafat was fighting to get his land back (which was stolen by Britain after World War I). So how would you guys like it if America became someone else's territory over night? You'd all fight to get back your nation by all means - even if it means terrorist acts.
I sympathize with Arafat.
EDIT:
I just remembered that Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize back in 1994. So yeah, he was definately a terrorist.
