Arafat In France; Terror Victims Want Justice | |
2004-10-30 | |
An ailing Yassar Arafat is in a French hospital after having been transported from Jordan, where Jordanian helicopters ferried him and aides Friday morning from his battered Mukata compound. An ailing Yassar Arafat is in a French hospital after having been transported from Jordan, where Jordanian helicopters ferried him and aides Friday morning from his battered Mukata compound in Ramallah. Thousands of French Arabs welcomed his arrival, but survivors of victims of the "father of terrorists" demanded that French authorities investigate Arafat on charges of murder. PA spokesperson Hanan Ashrawi said, "I am concerned for Arafat's life." She added that she fears a bitter succession battle, "and even anarchy." (she means the Islamic death cultists will slaughter each other over turf since they are not able to freely stroll into Israel and butcher people there.)

#6 Something I should mention - even if the ICC were to go after Arafart, I wouldn't throw any support behind it. I'm just curious as to whether initiating proceedings against blatantly guilty individuals (and Arafart's history of abetting and engaging in terrorism is beyond question) is something the ICC will actually do. |

#5 "and even anarchy" How will they tell the difference? Seriously? |

#4 BAR - that's silly! The ICC only acts against true evil, like Bushitler and "chainey" and the evil "Rummy" |

#3 Why should demands be made of the feckless Phrench? They won't do a damned thing. Get the ICC involved. If the ICC as even the teensiest amount of integrity, it'll go after Arafart now that he's much, MUCH closer. Doesn't mean that they'd succeed in trying to prosecute him, but to at least make a play while an opportunity presents itself can't hurt. |

#2 The serious Israeli speculation is that if Arafat pegs, granted his lieutenants *and* henchmen *and* other usurpers *and* outsiders esp. Iranians and Hizbollah will have just a right royal throat cutting among themselves. *However*, they will also increase attacks against Israel, trying to get street cred among the rank-and-file. So you get a murderous combination of individual ambition and groupthink at play. |

#1 God curse on the bloody French for preventing his beloved son the Arafish from paying him a visit. Also all the "70 Virgins(TM)" (except for Suha)will now boycott France for cruelly denying them the (dubious) pleasure of welcoming him into their Boosoms. No more Virgins for the French ! boycott |
