Israel-Palestine
Sources: Suha Arafat rejects $2 million settlement from Palestinian Authority
2004-11-10
YOU DEEPLY COMATOSE PIG! LOOK WHAT YOU'RE MAKING ME GO THROUGH!!!
Suha Arafat has rejected a $2 million financial settlement from Palestinian figures acting on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, according to French sources, who are becoming increasingly impatient with the wife of the deeply comatose Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.
HE'LL BE DEAD WHEN I SAY HE'S DEAD!!! AND NOT A HUNDRED MILLION SOONER!!! I'M MRS. ARAFAT, DAMMIT!!!
The settlement was aimed at persuading Suha Arafat to allow completion of the tests that would finally determine the chairman's death. Contacts between Suha Arafat and the Palestinian financiers began as soon as it became clear that Arafat would have to be flown to France for emergency medical treatment.
TWO MILLION WON'T COVER MY TWINKIE MONEY!!! COUGH IT UP!!! I'M MRS. ARAFAT!!! WHERE'S THE RESPECT!!!
The French have been exasperated by Suha Arafat's refusal, permissible under French law, to allow others access to he husband's room in the Percy Military Hospital near Paris.
I'M HIS "LOVING" WIFE, YOU CHEAP PRICKS!!! I AND ONLY I WILL DECIDE WHEN TO STEP ON HIS OXYGEN HOSE!!!

#14  ah, lex. My fury was expressed after Camp David 2 and after Taba, when i, like other pro-Israel doves, saw that I had been made a fool of, had been betrayed.

I have no fury now. I am enjoying it. Im in a good place, where I can see the humor and the soap opera garishness of it.

I'll almost be sorry when the old terr finally pops off, since that will mean an end to the delicious death saga.

#13  It's actually so wretched that it's beginning to make me furious. Has there ever been a people as badly screwed by their "leader" as the Palestinians? This description of Arafat's family gravesite, literally a stinking shithole, should make everyone recognize the gravity of the crime this disgusting thug has perpretrated. And the victims are not merely the Israelis he slaughtered but his own wretched people-- the ones who, like his sister, have to live in the shithole he created. Here's the link:
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041108/wl_mideast_afp/mideast_arafat_burial_041108003230
Unkempt, ankle deep in rubbish and the air thick with flies from the stinking market next door, the Arafat family plot could not be a more inauspicious burial place for the icon of Palestinian nationhood. …

Less than 100 square metres with two dozen tombs already in pride of place, a minimum of mourners would be able to crowd the site, stumbling over the roughshod ground to pay their last respects. Hidden behind a cement wall and accessible through a solitary white, metal door encrusted with mud, nothing could be less imposing or more humiliating for a man who is now unlikely to achieve his dream of a Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem.

Bin liners, a child's T-shirt and a traditional red keffiyeh (headdress of the type favoured by Arafat) are ground into the dust. Empty crisp bags, milk cartons, plastic bottles and broken glass are strewn across the burnt grass. Overgrown scarlet and white bougainvillia do nothing to sweeten the nauseating stench of rotting fruit and meat, laced with dung from half-dead donkeys tied up in the adjacent market.

Laundry hanging from a run-down high-rise flat flaps over the grave of Arafat's sister, Yussra al-Qidwa, who was laid to rest in August last year, alongside their father.

#12  To make it more explicit she was spending the last 3 years cuckholding Arafat with someone who has connections with folks who are his nominal worst enemies, folks who are directly responsible for the worst victimization Palestinians have suffered in recent times, the atrocity that is regularly dragged out to claim that Sharon is a war criminal for his INDIRECT role. And to top it off someone who has ties to western intel agencies, POSSIBLY including Mossad. And this woman is maintaining control over Arafats body, and is using it to milk whatever she can get from the Pal leadership.

Really, you couldnt write fiction as good as this. It would be too implausible.

#11  2 million is chump change. 22 million is chump change. Arafat has salted away BILLIONS. What the idiotarians fail to grasp is the scale of the thievery by their third world gangster-"liberationist" heroes. When one man controls an entire economy, no matter how small-- Cuba, Palestine, Congo, whatever-- he has his hands on cash flow that totals many billions each year. If he diverts even as little as 5% per annum, he can very easily accumulate a fortune in the billions within a decade. When you consider that gangsters like Arafat, Fidel, Saddam et al typically retain their stranglehold on power for several decades, you quickly see that the numbered accounts, real estate, majority equity stakes etc number in the billions of $$$$$$.

So, oddly enough, Suha's request is actually quite modest compared to the overall hoard. The real question is, who will have his hands on the 99% that will not go to Suha?

#10  $2 million? Hell, she won't settle for less than $2 billion.

A year.

I'm guessing she'll meet with an unfortunate "accident" soon. And of course the Paleos will blame Mossad.

#8  Jules, I think the comment was a reference to M. Pierre Rizk, Suha's "constant companion" and financial advisor, and former henchman for the PLO's worst enemies in Lebanon, and maybe someone with ties to the Mossad as"good in the sack".

Flabbergasting, isnt it? :)

#6  Good in the sack? Anybody ever seen a photo of Yasser? I suppose if you get off on slobbery-lipped, chapparal skinned, hatchet-faced old terrorists...She shoulda met with Anna Nicole to set up her sugar daddy deal-at least he wasn't a terrorist.

#5  $2 million could go a long way to properly house, feed, educate or provide adequate medical care for the actual people that the PA is supposed to be supporting. Of course, that kind of thinking might actually provide for a more contented populace, and that would make for a shortage of drooling bloodthirsty, suicide bombers.

Instead, they will publicly try to bribe a woman is obviously already a millionaire, and who already is living off the millions that she and her husband "redirected" from their loyal, unwitting dupe subjects. If she wanted, I'll bet she could counter-offer them $10 million -cash- to get off her back.

Sick, evil, twisted, pathetic people, the whole lot of 'em.

#4  Maybe she should be known as Suha "Tidwell" Arafart.

#3  Something tells me that if this is settled with his "loyal & lovely" wife that she will meet with an ufortunate accident. Her, the daughter and the lawyer. The only one I will feel sorry for is the daughter.

#2  Pierre Rizk, who headed the intelligence service of the Phalanga during the Lebanese civil war and was in close personal contact with the guerrilla group responsible for the massacre at the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camp in 1982.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is too much, even for me!
