We can hope it hurts like most of them.

#8 I rather like the idea of Yasser drowning in his own bile. Fitting, somehow.

#10 strategically what matters is that as the odds of imminent death increase, that forces Pal politicians and others to increasingly look at the political alignment post Arafat mortuum (latin grammar?). So in a sense politically he is dead well before he dies, once its clear he wont live long enough to take revenge on or discipline those who oppose him. This means that as the Israels withdraw from Gaza, there is a greater opening for alternative forces to come into play. This may be why Sharon is so urgent to withdraw from Gaza NOW - he wants it to happen before a (hostile to Israel and peace) successor solidifies power - he wants to let moderate forces in Gaza that Israel has quietly cultivated their chance to grab control while central PA dominance is at its weakest.

#11 I had one year of pre-med biology, AND stayed in a Holiday Inn a couple months ago - my suggestion? Someone needs to gut-punch Yasser repeatedly over a period of days. That oughtta break something it up. This one's on me Yasser, next visit - I charge. Thx

"An ambulance pulled up outside the headquarters of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (news - web sites) on Wednesday and three medics went inside, a Reuters journalist said. "





Earlier Israeli TV said the Palestinian leader's health had deteriorated.

#14 AP

"RAMALLAH, West Bank - Yasser Arafat (news - web sites)'s health deteriorated Wednesday and a team of doctors went to his compound to examine the Palestinian leader, a Palestinian official said.


The 75-year-old Arafat had been ill for two weeks, suffering from what Palestinian officials said was the flu. Israeli officials speculated he might have stomach cancer, but two of Arafat's doctors said Wednesday that a blood test, combined with a biopsy of tissue taken from his digestive tract, showed no evidence of cancer of the digestive tract.


Late Wednesday, Arafat's condition worsened and doctors were sent to examine him, an official in Arafat's office said. Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and former Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (!!!!!!LH) were summoned to the compound to meet with Arafat, the official said."


Other Palestinian officials were kept out of his room, the official

#18 Appropriate bracha? When it occurs.

Shehechianu, I think.
(Praised are you, oh Lord our G-d, who has sustained us, who has kept us alive, and who has enabled us to reach this day. )

Matzah ball soup, check. Gefilte fish check. Kosher (american) Champagne, check.

No big deal. It was just a weapons delivery.

#20 He would probably have to go to a country with good-quality medical care. Perhaps Israel...

#21 LH -- appropriate. I would add the Mourner's Kaddish (praise prayer): Magnified and sanctified be God's name throughout the world...The departed still live on earth in the acts of goodness they have done. Especially appropriate in this case because Arafat hasn't done any acts of goodness, and the prayer allows us to remember all those he caused to be killed over a long and blood soaked life.
