Palestinians slam outburst, plot claims. Wife has final say on leader's treatment.
I WANT EVERY NICKEL!!!
Palestinians coming to terms with the dying days of Yasser Arafat heaped scorn on his wife Suha yesterday, enraged that the person they love least is making a tawdry spectacle of their historic leader's descent.SCREW THEM!!! I WANT THOSE ACCOUNT NUMBERS, YOU SLOB!!! WAKE UP!!! NO ONE ROOM HOVEL IN RAMALLAH FOR ME!!!
In what appears an almost total miscalculation of her hold over Palestinians, the 41-year-old, Paris-residing wife of the critically ill Arafat erupted in a telephone screed aired live on Al-Jazeera TV early yesterday, accusing the interim Palestinian leaders of a plot to overthrow her husband even as he fights for life. "Let it be known to the honest Palestinians that a bunch of those who want to inherit are coming to Paris," she shouted, referring to a visiting Palestinian government delegation. "I tell you they are trying to bury Abu Ammar alive," she said in Arabic, addressing her husband by nickname. "He is all right, and he is going home."
THEY INHERIT NOTHING!!! IF THEY TRY, I'LL RIP THEIR LUNGS OUT!!!IT'S MINE!!! ALL MINE!!!
Palestinian leaders Mahmoud Abbas and Ahmed Qureia, Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath and Parliament Speaker Rauhi Fattouh drove straight from the airport in a nine-car convoy to a Paris hotel a few kilometres from the hospital where they hoped to see Arafat today. The delegation also is expected to meet with French officials in a bid to cut through the fog of conflicting reports on the status of the 75-year-old leader.
All together everybody..."He's dead, Jim."
