Look at how much money Arafat and Shuha had while they were "helping" the cause of the poor Palestinian people for the 'cause'? Their brethren they "cared" so much about. The PA has been, still is and will always be corrupt.

Why do we give Al-Jazeera correspondents the ability to report from Israel?! Especially knowing that they are a mouthpiece of distortion and anti-Israel, Anti -semitic propaganda??!!

expressing himself/herself missing the man, reportedly not even his wife and daughter...!!

When all is said and done, the simple truth is that even most Arabs know Palestine is fictional and that "Palestinians" are ridiculous poseurs.

Why would Israel think of finishing him off when he was already dying anyway at 75 ? Besides, there was indeed a genuine chance to get rid of him during the siege of Beirut in 1982 and yet Israel just let him go . Arafat is already dark history for us . We have much-more urgent daily matters to take care of . As for "Al-Jazeera" TV station, I, personally ( just like the general arab public ) have lost all respect for it once it became clear that it was fast losing credibility and popularity because of its brazen and flagrant attempts to cause sedition and incitement .

It is Israel that has "trouble accepting reality", because it is Israel that has created the West Bank Arab ghetto, and Gaza ghetto, and it is Israel that continues to blame their victims for their poverty, unemployment, and helplessness, under a suffocating Israeli military occupation.

An American pro Palestinian did the report.

Do they have a conspiracy theory for when these people are going to stop sitting on their hands, feed their people, over throw corrupt regimes, teach their children an education not hate, and help us build the region? Besides everybody knows it was Elvis that killed Arafat.

The title of this article says it all. Answer: NOOOOBODY!

this is right on the money..These pigs are so biased it Makes you sick.Israel should have taken them out during the last war.

One of his present to the world is the airports tax which all passengers have to pay blowing and hijacking which he started

creepy little man thought he could change things by violence but it did not work,why all the fuss now they are better of without him he was just another middle dictator do as you are told or else eastforget him

Have you forgotten that Arabs in Judea and Samaria, and Gaza, thrived under Israeli hegemony? Who do yu think brought them electricity? Indoor plumbing? Paved roads? Medical clinics? Hospitals? Who gave them well-paying jobs in Israel? And the response? Terror, more terror, and still more terror. The ersatz "Palestinians" wanted autonomy; they have it. So why all the bitching and moaning? Why should Israel continue to allow them to keep their lucrative jobs in Israel when the ersatz "Palestine" Authority is the beneficiary of billions of dollars and billions of euros annually? It is certainly not the fault of Israel that the terrorist rabble that runs the West Bank and Gaza are corrupt and greedy. You are so ignorant about even the most elementary facts concerning Israel. But if you wish to keep on making a fool of yourself, keep on composing your stupid and factually inaccurate posts. Grist for my -- and others' -- mill.

piece of s#$% whose cowardice was only surpassed by his ignorance and ineptitude as a leader

...for their "...poverty, unemployment, short life expectancy, ...feeling of helplessness."

The most striking poblem in Gaza and East Jerusalem is the real estate speculation, fostered by excessive financial resources, which harms new home buyers. Please give us the solution.

Poverty? Unemployment? Before the first intifada, 250,000 Palestinians worked in Israel or in the territories for Israeli firms, and earned livelihood for themselves & their families. Because of their violent behaviour, because of their brethren’s terrorism, they were fired and now their jobs are occupied by foreign workers, who are helping Israel’s economy to thrive. Helplessness? There is no People on the face of the Earth that receives more help than the Palestinians, with the combined effort of Europe, the U.S.A., the Arab League and the U.N. who have dedicated a single Agency to them (U.N.R.W.A.), while all of the refugees from other parts of the world, who number by dozens of millions, can rely only upon the badly financed U.N.H.C.R. Please, before writing nonsense like this one, document yourself.

Where have you been all your life. It is your islamic friends who actually in -48 told half the population to wait until Israel was removed, and then come back. And as you now understand that did not happen.!! But instead of accepting the defeat, they made millions of refugees and imposed special regulations for the refugee people, not to work, not to marry, not to participate in daily life, and even make passports with status "refugee". Millions of people have been displaced during wars, but your arab leaders truly makes hell for other arabs, and have made it impossible to integrate in new countries. PS: Jordan was especially madefor your friends.

,Syrians,Turks. Their life expectancy before 1967 was the lowest in the arab world,now they surpass Egyptians by 10 years at least.

and his perpetual failure at writing a somewhat intelligent talkback.

What idiots. If there were chemicals in that murderers clothes, then his wife wife would also also be contaminated.

you need a good nights sleep or a holiday someswhere where the sun shines!

The bare basics: There is no Palestinian culture, language, nor cuisine. There has never been a land called "Palestine" ruled by "Palestinians." (FYI, Philistines were Greek and they ate pork. Delilah and Goliath were Philistines. Philistines died out.) There has never been a Palestinian president or Prime Minister or government or military. This whole notion of there being a Palestine is a recent and false invention, based on lies and violence, with NO intention for peaceful co-existence with Israel, or any other nation who won't kowtow to them. Since the 1880's, it was the Jewish pioneers who began to redeem the land, Israel, from wilderness. Only thereafter, did the Arabs come from other lands to benefit from what the Jews built and try to take it away from them. If anyone really wants peace with Israel, they MUST recognize Israel's existence, and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which it is. The fact that foreign governments, INCLUDING THE U.S., do not do so, ensures continued war by the Arabs and the destruction of Israel.

Oslo has been biting Isreal in the ass for 20 yers with almost 3000 dead 10K wouded and a much weaker Isael. You dont need the Arabs to hate you, you do a great job of hating yourselves all the time. The Israeli today is one dumb Jew.

Steve: 1. The arabs created the terrible situation in th WB and gaza. If Yasser hadn't syphoned off billions, then the pals would no longer be living in the dark ages. 2. Arafat died of AIDS. 3. Arafat was a terrorist. Terrorism has set back the Palestinian "nation" 2000 years.

israel never had a reason to kill him. that man did more damage to the palestinians than any israeli war / plan / plot / scheme . he was given a golden oppurtunity in the camp david summit of 2000 , yet he refused an offer from barak ro return west bank, gaza , and east jerusalem . i think arafat died that moment . his political career was over
