Arafat slips into a Coma
PARIS (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was in a coma and in critical condition in the intensive care unit at a French military hospital on Thursday after his health suddenly deteriorated, aides said.
They said doctors carrying out tests on the 75-year-old leader since he was airlifted to France last Friday still did not know what was wrong with him, despite ruling out leukemia.
“Arafat is in a coma and in a critical condition,” a senior Palestinian official told Reuters. Aides had earlier said he was in serious condition in the unit where he was moved on Wednesday at around 5 p.m. (11 a.m. EST).
A briefing by the hospital had been expected at 11 a.m. (5 a.m. EST) but was put off without any explanation.

You’re such a piece of shit sometimes. You should be ashamed.

Whoa!
Do a google search on the Achille Lauro cruise ship, and a paralyzed man named Leon Klinghoffer, who was thrown overboard by the PLO.
Then discover Arafat’s (direct) connection.

yeah, when you get that far a long in life it’s time to move on. I’m sure he wanted to live but it was his time to go.

The simple fact is that Arafat was a roadblock to peace. He believed voilence made him who he is. I never wish someone was dead, but he was never going to step down on his ideas.
