Does Arafat have AIDs?
2004-11-03
Not sure what to make of the source. A grain of salt is probably called for...
by Malcolm Thornberry 365Gay.com European Bureau Chief
(Paris) As French doctors continue to run tests on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat some medical authorities not connected directly to his case are suggesting that he may have HIV/AIDS. ... with leukemia and other forms of cancer ruled out, the list of possible diseases is narrowing. A low blood platelet count is a sign of a weakened immune system. In addition to cancer, the low count could be attributed to bleeding ulcers, colitis, liver disease, lupus, or HIV. It is believed that ulcers and colitis have already been ruled out. Arafat has lost a considerable amount of body weight. Hopital d'Instruction des Armees de Percy, southwest of Paris, also has some of France's best HIV/AIDS doctors.

For several years there have been suggestions that Arafat was bisexual. Ion Pacepa, who was deputy chief of Romanian foreign intelligence under the Ceaucescu regime and who defected to the West in 1978, says in his memoirs that the Romania government bugged Arafat and had recordings of the Arab leader in orgies with his body guards. If the suggestions that Arafat has AIDS are true, it is doubtful it would be made public.

#13  I suspect he may have DU posioning...
Reason: There were huge gun battles around his refuge and he then lived there for years without any clean up. DU dust in the area would be inhaled over and over.

#12  If the 'Old Camel' has AIDS the only shocking item, considering Arafat's double life, is why did he not contract the disease in the 1980's?

-Sorry if I'm doubtful Arafish has ever genuinely displayed this. Let God judge him, I agree, I would love to arrange the meeting.

#10  NEW ARAB COLD MEDICINE COMMERCIAL:
Do you feel drowsy when you wake up? Have a stuffy nose? Keep finding yourself inconveiniently in a French hospital about to die?
Hi, i'm Yasser Arafat. You may remember me from such films as: "How to strap a grenade to your balls"; "How to strap a grenade to an isreali's balls"; and "How to shove a box of grenades of an American's ass"
Between convincing young people to blow themselves up, and tricking corrupt westerners into giving me nobel peace prizes, i dont have alot of time for those annoying sicknesses. Thats why i take ADVIL Cold and Flu...

#7  Just a thought: if Arafat has indeed been playing so sweetly with his guards for that many years, we may soon see a large contingent of nasties quietly disappearing from sight.

Mom: Arafat is responsible for the death and maiming of thousands, perhaps even so many as a million -- Arabs as well as Jews. He has stolen literally billions of dollars that were supposed to feed and clothe the people the world allowed him to lead. He worked hard to poison the minds of two generations of his people, and allowed them to be kept in squalor that their Jew-hatred be continually fed. He has held up this squalor and hatred to the world, which has chosen to sup heartily thereon, feeding their own Jew-hatred and calling it anti-Zionism.

It for God to forgive him, if He will. But Arafat has done nothing in the way of repentence and repair of the damage he so gleefully caused to have earned any forgiveness from us. Vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord. But forgiveness must be earned.

1. If Arafat's T cell count is not too low he probably can have his AIDs contained by a strong cocktail of drugs.

2. Its nice of you to pray for Arafat's repentence. If you are not doing so already, it would be nice to also pray that there will be no more victims of his non repentence.

#4  Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up....does not behave rudely...does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Ist Corinthians 13: 4-6 excerpts

It's tempting to want to kick Arafat. He has created a monster and let it loose to kill children and poison his people. We always think that the obvious evildoers do not deserve any kind of compassion. But the comments above are just as poisonous in their own way as anything Arafat ever said. Who died and made us God? Judgment is His business, not ours. Whatever we wish on another person can all too easily fall on our own heads.

I have lost three friends to AIDS. Don't wish AIDS on anybody. Not even a terrorist.

Arafat is still a human being created in the image of God. Nobody is beyond God's redemption unless they choose to be. My son prays for Arafat to repent.

The only way to kill terrorism once and for all is to offer help and compassion to those who truly want to rebuild. Nasty comments don't help.
