1. who paid for it
zionist forever   (11.10.07)
The palestians complain about how poor they are and how they need more foreign aid but they can still afford to build a mosoleum for Arafat which cost nearly $2 million. Who is paying for this? Is it the international community thinking this can advance the so called pece process, I doubt that Suha loved her husband enough to spend some of the money he stole and she inherited to build him a nice musoleum. I just hope that his handsome young friends have had themselves tested for HIV it would be a terrible shame if we had to build mosleums for them as well.
2. peace partner
arthur ,   jersey city usa   (11.10.07)
Why does Isreal allow the myth of a "palestinian" capita; in Jerusalem continue? There never was a arab or muslim capital in Jerusalem. The Temple Mount is not that holy Just look at how the Ottomans and Jordanians treated it. Stop this stupidity. They make extreme demands and Israel makes concessions.

Connie ,   Virginia   (11.10.07)
You mean God forbid. The United States is pushing this and we are suffering for it. High gas prices. wildfires, the falling dollar. God, the God of Abraham. Issac and Jacob means business when you mess with His city.

12. Eternal Jewish Jerusalem
reality check ,   shatterd hopes   (11.10.07)
These proclamations are just to give warning to the Israelis, no matter what we the leaders of the Arabs calling themselves Palestinians promises, no matter what, we say, Peace will never come to this land not in our generation nor in the next generation. We Arabs truly believe in our lies since we repeated them so much the Jerusalem has any religious significance to Islam, the only value Jerusalem has to us is if we can take it away from the Jews we are assured an eventual victory over the Jewish character of Israel. To bury the rotting remains of the father of lies, duplicity, and terror will create an earthquake (figuratively speaking) that would destroy the entire fabric holding the Jewish Nation together throughout the entire world. There is no power on this world that can accomplish this not even any Israeli government in power. Yes go through the motions but recognize you cannot succeed when your actions are going to shred the entire Jewish world, Israel as a free democratic Jewish Country will not survive even a decade without the support of the Jews living in the Diaspora, all prayers recited by any branch of Judaism, be they Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, recognize during the 2000 years of dispersal, of the hope and dream of returning to Jerusalem, having realized the fulfillment or the beginning of the fulfillment of such 2000 years of yearning, and to abandon such to proven lying so called inhumane terrorists will simply cause the Jews world wide to reject any offers of help to the traitors leaders of Israel. There is a saying Who is considered a Chacham a person who possess knowledge is a person who can see the outcome of his actions taken today. Either Israel is being led with the consent of the Israeli citizens by intelligent (not intelligencia) leaders or by fools .
13. Arafat-Rabin museum
Ron ,   Tel Aviv   (11.10.07)

papa jay   (11.10.07)
furtunate for you, you had leaders then and now with a little more foresight then you. dumb **s!!
15. Israelis will never understand.
papa jay   (11.10.07)
the israeli joe knows that no Palestinian wants peace with Israel. the best they want is a long term peace until they have the upper hand again. that is what hamas is proposing. 1# for any Palestinian leader is to return Jerusalem. if he can not, he will be replaced sooner or later, until a leader can. it was the same with the jews before 67, they would have found a leader that would have returned Jerusalem to the Jews, 2 sides of the same coin!!!
16. to the israili
nusa ,   jerusalem   (11.10.07)

20. #4
(11.10.07)
you are right mahmood....the people have no money to buy food, but a dead aids ridden terrorist gets a 2 million dollar grave....a terrorist that has stollen from you, repressed you and used you as suicide bombers. arafat was egyptian born. never ever lived in israel or born in jerusalem as he claims. never!
21. I wonder how long this mausoleum will stand there...
Jonas ,   SAD   (11.10.07)
Since the West Bank has yet to see fightings between Hamas and PLO. A "stray" barrage of mortar shells or rockets from unknown Arabs (that of course Israel will be blamed for, since Israel doesn't have anything better to do but to rocket mausoleums) will successfully bring that tomb down. And when somebody reveals that it was Hamas, it would be again "Who? Us? Noooo! It was Zionists!"
22. It's a joke
Natan   (11.11.07)
This moron robbed them blind for years, his wife Suha lives in luxury with the money stolen from the Palestinians and they worship him like he was God. How pathetic are they??? And by the way, how come his wife did not show up, i guess it was the the "Boys" only...
23. CARRY OUT ANOTHR TARGETED ASSASINATION
zionist forever   (11.11.07)
So many politicians and soilders wanted to assasinate Arafat but sadly the US would never go along with it now lets go after the memorial let the palestians know how we feel about their beloved leaders. At least if Israel destroys it as well as getting a little bit of satisfaction then we wont have to leave Hamas to do the job they can watch happily as the zionist enemy destroys the monunment for the Fatah enemy. There are better uses these raw materials could be put to other than remembering the king of terror.

sawsan rummaneh ,   ...............   (11.11.07)
when arafat was here he told hamass [ be quiet and let me to manage ] they said but if you failed ,we would deal with israil ... arafat said okey /// but mahmood abbass did not keep arafat way nor hamas way nor israil way he is the ////////
27. Palestinian History?!?!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.10.07)
Palestinians, as self-defined today, do not appear anywhere in history until the latter part of the last century. The Palestinians of today are a made-up people. They have no history. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital city of the so-called Palestinian People. It never will be. Jerusalem is the ancient capital city of Israel and belongs to the Jewish People. God gave Jerusalem to the Jews, not to the Arabs. One of the steps towards peace is for the 'Palestinian' leaders to acknowledge this & teach this truth to their people. 'Pales.' leaders do a terrible dis-service to their people by perpetuating the myth that Jerusalem ever was their capital.
28. Arafat memorial
Boris ,   USa   (11.11.07)
I would go even further. I would like to see them ALL buried in Jerusalem or any other place will work too.
29. God Willing A Fine Garbage Dump Worthy Of Him Will Be Found
