hadn't sat around with his thumb up his ass for 4 years.

15. Yes but could it have been a peace with justice?
Israel's cooperation as a willing partner in a just peace is necessary. I don't think Israel has ever shown that willingness.

17. Peace?
That is the biggest load for crap i have heard in a long time. Bill Clinton had the peace made, Israel offered the Palestinians the best deal they will ever get and he stabbed them in the back. Jeeeeez have a clue

3. Let's try to have respect for those who cared about him.
I've talked to Palestinians at KU. They say, "As 'bad' as he is, he's our business, not yours."

7. Still alive acording to the BBC
Well sort of.

French say he's alive, Belgiums say he's dead.

I suppose it's just a matter of time.

12. I think that the world, and the Middle East in particular are soon
going to realize that he was doing a great deal to stop Palestinian attacks.

If he's not there to do so anymore, a shit storm is definitely going to occur.

22. Arafat pisses off the Israelis one last time...
...by dying of natural causes before they had a chance to kill him.

23. If he is dead, we cannot be sure at this time...
...that it was natural causes. Not yet.
