| Museum planned for late PA leader Arafat's personal belongings |
| 2005-06-06 |
| Oh, boy! Call my travel agent! The Palestinian Authority is intending to collect late leader Yasser Arafat's personal possessions for a museum, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday. Conde Nast calls it "an historical assault on the nasal passages"! According to his decree, a special committee will be formed to gather Arafat's personal belongings and objects from his daily life, prior to his death in November. His head towel, his...other head towel. And ,of course, the famous red binder. The decree said that relevant artifacts would be housed and displayed in a special museum dedicated to the man who led the Palestinian Liberation Organization for more than 30 years.Arafat was born in August 1929 and died on November 11, 2004 in Paris. Maybe The Mossad can contribute a mockup of The Zionist Death Ray? The decree, published by the Palestinian news agency Wafa, said that the collections committee has been already formed and is to be headed by Palestinian presidency chief of staff Tayeb Abdel Rahim. Wonder if they'll use some of the stash money to pay for it or skim it off the top of the new aid money? The decree named Foreign Minister Nasser al-Qedwa, a nephew of Arafat, as well as Ramzi Khouri, Arafat's personal secretary, as members of the committee, along with Palestinian officials Rafiq al- Husseini and Sami Musalam. All the members of the committee were among Arafat's closest confidants. Hopefully they've all been tested for that disease he didn't die of... |

| #10 Dear friend, I am Mrs. SUHU ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion, humiliation,frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister. I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment... Oddly enough, Suha, so have I... |

| #1 What about his Koran? Surely it can't be Islamic to put such a holy object on display in a museum. He did have one, didn't he? |
