Arafat dead
Arafat is dead, really. Someone finally pulled the plug. Now Palestine is rid of that scruffy tablecloth wearing thief perhaps they can get to working on peace. No one, not even Israel wants to keep Palestine and its people living like prisoners in their home land. Arafat did however because it was financially, politically and apparently personally rewarding for him.
If Arafat were not so corrupt and if he did not take hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in foreign aid for himself perhaps they could have a good hospital in Palestine rather than having to send him off to France for treatment. Maybe the trip to France exacerbated his condition, that would be justice.
Rarely is someone's death a good thing, but this can be a good starting point for lasting peace in the Middle East - perhaps in my lifetime...Imshallah.
