How are the people here wishing death on a human being any better than those who celebrated 9/11?

Shameful. And most hypocritical

The man is (or possibly was) a greedy, cowardly fraud that did nothing to further his people's situation even when the means were handed to him on a silver platter.

Hey, the same could be said from the mouth of those who celebrated about Americans. I dont see a difference. How are we showing better morals, attitudes or respect for human life than they are?

No it isn't. He is personally responsable for many innocent lives being t.

Again, the same could be said of Americans from the mouths of those who celebrated. We arents showing any better morals, attitudes or respect for human life than they are.

There are a (very) few people on this world I would gladly wish an untimely end upon, Arafat is one of them (wish it was sooner though). He has been a major obstacle to peace in the region for decades.

On 9/11 there were people (including your buddy, Arafat) who truly celebrated the loss of innocents.

Here, we are "celebrating" the death of someone who was one of the biggest terrorists in the modern area.

It really isn't that hard to figure out...

The moment he is officially gone, the power struggle will occur in the PLA.

By delaying the official announcement and creating rumors/uncertainity, those who are jockeying for power, can attempt to consolidate their bases.

Sad confused little boy... America isn't perfect but we do not push our agenda by intentionally killing innocents and civilians nor do we celebrate when it does happen. See the difference?

You have the right to celebrate whatever you want in this country.
Sharon is the response to Arafat. Given the choice between trusting Arafat and the PA, the Israeli people chose Sharon, out of fear not out of hope. You can thank Arafat and the PA for an organized Infidata that was supported and aided by Arafat and his henchmen.

Most of those that believe that way are being brainwashed by the clerics and radicals.

They are a vocal miniority that are searched out by the media for sensasalism (sp)

Yes, I am!

You know why?

Because unlike them, I NEVER celebrate the loss of innocent people, in any case there is; that is the big difference...

Well, they didnt think the lives lost in 9/11 were "innocent". On the other hand, many not only think Arafat is an innocent person, but hold him in very, very high regard in Palestine. Again, your point is moot. You're not showing you have better morals or character.

Is Arafat dead yet? :)

You guys must be sitting there with 50 windows open trying to be the first to break this story. Drudge's probably paid a nurse to give him a read-out of his EEG every 5 minutes. Sheezh...blood suckers comes to mind.

On the other hand, it won't be soon enough. I think he should take Sharon by the hand and the two of them should walk into The Valley of the Shadow of Death together. Think of it as an enema for the Middle East. :)

They may think Arafat is innocent, or than all americans, even those peacefully working in an office building are not innocent, but that does not make them right. And YOU as an American who does have that information, should know better. The fact that YOU are calling Americans and US troops terrorists (as you have done in other threads) is the problem. Some of the poor brainwashed and misled minority in middle eastern contries do not have all of the information. YOU DO.

How can anyone possibly think of those who died in 9/11 as other than innocent?!

Instead of accepting the existance of Israel, Arafat used terror all those years, claiming this would bring Israel down. he failed to do so, like many others along hostory. what were the fruits of his method?

Nothing - Nada - Zero!

Instead of trying to work toward a peaceful solution, and helping his poor people, he made sure his wife and daughter enjoy the good life in paris. Israel gives the PA a lot of money but a great deal of that became Arafat's own property while the other went for the cause of terrorism... Arafat didn't give a sh!t about the palestinians. the only thing that guided him was his dream of driving all Jews back to the sea.

How is Israel going to make this worse? The only way they know how- by being idiots. Arafat wishes to be buried in Israeli terriroty in a sacred place. Now, I don't think that's asking too much and in the interests of peace, no matter how much of a dick Arafat was, I think that it's a fair request to grant. Partiuclarly because once Arafat dies he'll be to Palestine what Kennedy is to us- immortal and God-like. Thus it would behoove of Ariel Sharon to pay attention to Palestinian popular sentiment. But then that's like asking Bush to pay attention to peace protesters. So in a display of defiance the Israeli government flat out refused Arafat's burial wishes.

Pretty bad, eh? It gets worse. Back when Arafat's health seemed to be temporarily improving in the Paris hospital the Israeli government began publicly making their own funeral plans for Arafat. To cremate him. For one thing, Islamic edict demands that the body be buried- BURIED- within 24 hours. This is an islut to Arafat and highly disresepctful. This is not so much for his own sake, I am far more concerned about the perception in the eyes of the Palestinian people who see Arafat in such high regard and might not take too kindly to his funerary rites being in contravention with both his wishes and Islamic law.

So congratulations Likud Party of Israel, you've succeeded in turning what promised to be an already turbulent period into a flaming sack of crap.

So a terrorist leader, that went on TV and decieved the world by talking about peace in English while screaming for a bloody revolution in Arabic to his people should be rewarded for fostering and promoting a culture of violence and suicide towards Israeli civilians? I don't think so, even if you feel Israel shoulders 90% of the blame in the conflict. Arafat HAD HIS CHANCE TO BE BURIED IN JERUSALEM, HE WALKED AWAY AND CHOSE CONTINUED RESISTANCE.

Even if all the information YOU have, it does not make it right that you celebrate/wish death upon ANY human being. And with all the information YOU have, you should know that I have said the CURRENT US action in Iraq is a terrorist action. Period. I have defined terrorism, and have stated how our invasion is nothing short of a terrorist action.

So you are not better than any misinformed/brainwashed/illiterate soul if you choose to lower yourself to the standard of celebrating/wishing death on ANYONE.

And also, thank yourself for having a superiority complex and thinking you are the enlightened and the Middle Easterners are all in the dark ages. :roll:

There are some notable exceptions to that IMO:


Stalin
Pol Pot
Castro
Mao
Kim Jong Il
Ishii Shiro
large chunks of the Nazi party and Imperial Japanese Army General Staff
etc......
