35. Arafats as a person..
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.12.11)
Arafat WAS the poision!! He stole money from his people, he spoke with a snakes,split tounge, he betrayed his people from peace-agreement with Israel, he was a murderer as a leader of terrorists. He deserve another burial place, beside OBL.
36. AIDS? Good one.
Nour ,   One State   (11.12.11)
Revenge coming for his cowardly poisoning...
37. #1
Nour ,   One-State   (11.12.11)
The only thing that's infected is your very few brain cells... Arafat died a hero, poisoned, but among his people who love him. His life ended, but not in vain. The pages of history will keep turning, with the next generation assuming leadership, and people like you are simply irrelevant, since you prefer to hide behind an armchair in Noo-York (which your ilk and colonial masters stole from the natives).
38. Arafat poisoned?????????
ShoshieB ,   Migdal, Israe;   (11.12.11)
Oh for crying out load - they're still carrying on the lies - actually I couldn't care less about Arafat, but wow his widow is enjoying the money.... what was it? a million $ a year while she lived in Paris and he was here???
39. Lucky him.
nibor ,   israel   (11.12.11)
His victims were blown to bits. Those who survived are minus legs and arms.
40. #14 - I am pleased
steve   (11.12.11)
"No amount of insults and racist abuse as practiced by the little people here on Talkback can change this. And that is a pleasing thought." Ben - it is also a truly pleasing thought for me that you live your little life in some hole thousands of miles from the reality of it. Being pleased about this murderer (and apparently gay pervert). You don't get it do you (or maybe you do get it like he got it - from behind?).... the only reason he went to Jordan was to wait for the King to die - so that he could become Queen.
41. Homophobia, bigotry, hatred manifest itself in some of these
michael ,   Morristown, NJ   (11.12.11)
It is sad how Homophobia, bigotry, hatred manifest itself in some of these comments, every leveled person knows that their are no grounds for accusations made in these comments, and it seems that lot of the political comments regarding the Palestinians fall under the same moral and political standards expressed in comments on this article.....shame
42. Chaim said all that needs to be said.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (11.12.11)
Don't waste any more words on this murderer.
43. #1 You are a very sick person indeed!
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.12.11)
R.I.P Yasser Arafat. we miss you! Yasser Arafat fought for his people and his homeland and died with glory but you will die on your computer chair sitting with your fat ass insulting hero.
44. #1 You are a very sick person indeed!
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.12.11)
Yasser Arafat fought for his people and died with glory and you will die on your computer chair sitting with your fat ass insulting hero. Someday Arafat's dreams will be realized, the invaders will be repelled and Palestine will return to its indigenous inhabitants.
45. yes,poisoned!!!
ahmed zeitoun ,   antwerp,belgium   (11.12.11)
It is no secret that he was poisoned in Ramallah by no other person than Greta Duisenburg who for years was his closest friend but at the same time one of the best and effective Dutch agent for the mossad.Why would she fly so often to Nicosia and accidentally be seen near Paphos with her Israeli mossad contact?
46. #8 RIP indeed!
A ,   Belgium   (11.12.11)
47. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.12.11)
"Searching for peace and freedom?" How? By murdering innocent civilians in the thousands? Let me tell you something about your "greatest leader." He stole billions of dollars intended for the ersatz "Palestinian" people. He was a pervert. He had a chance to accept a two-state solution which would have awarded the ersatz "Palestinians" 90% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a capital, but walked away and decided to start the second intifada instead. That didn't go so well for you, did it? If that is your idea of a "great leader," it goes a long way towards explaining why you people will NEVER have a state. You can idealize that unrepentant terrorist as much as you like -- it does not change the manner of his death, nor the cause of his death. Deal with it.
48. Guiness book of records
Samuel ,   Israel   (11.12.11)
Yasser Arafat's name should be registered as the greatest scoundrel that ever lived on this planet.The large amount of Dollars stolen & deposited in his personal account & also the great number of humans slaughtered by him & his blind followers.
49. Arafat died of AIDS..read this from Wikipedia:
Maurice ,   Montreal   (11.12.11)
ABC radio reported that Arafat had died of AIDS. According to the report, the CIA had knowledge of his condition, and convinced Israel not to assassinate him and wait for his inevitable death of the disease, since the subsequent widespread connotations of the disease with homosexuality would discredit him. David Frum, a former speechwriter for U.S. President George W. Bush, speculated that Arafat had contracted AIDS as a result of homosexual affairs with his bodyguards, based on Ion Mihai Pacepa's book Red Horizons in which Pacepa reported that he had a conversation with a Romanian intelligence officer in which this officer claimed to have video recordings of Arafat engaging in homosexual activities
50. Osama from Palestine
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (11.12.11)
So what did your great leader achieve ? He made Palestinians know for their terrorism and cruelty. A president who rapes women belongs in prison. That is where Arafat, who raped little boys, should have been.
51. They look so nice and gentle...
Paul ,   NYC   (11.12.11)
I would love to ride both of them like Arab horses.
52. Respect for Sadat, Hussein, none for Arafat
Logic ,   Israel   (11.12.11)
One can argue that Sadat of Egypt and Hussein of Jordan were worthy of respect, but Arafat was simply a disgusting, backstabbing, little terror weasel who everyone - including other Arab leaders - loathed.
53. Arafat's autopsy
D Rund ,   Jerusalem Israel   (11.12.11)
He HAD an autopsy and the results were never made public. Before he went to France, he had tests done which were examined in Israel. Most likely it was HIV which is why the results are not being made public.
54. Divine?
Keleb ,   Macon, Georgia, USA   (11.12.11)
Has anyone considered that his death was simply a Divine decision?
55. to SARAH U S A
OSAMA ,   PALESTINE   (11.12.11)
"innocent people" ha ha ha . the israelis are expert and professional in killing innocent people in palestine and lebanon and other places , israel is practicing state terror since its foundation on the ruins of palestinian people , and palestinians were always defending themselves , resisting your terror and agression..
56. Arafat killed more "palestinians" that anyone...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.12.11)
...and his wife ended up with the billions of dollars in foreign "aid" money that he squandered from them. What puzzles me is why he's still their hero. His life was a big shame on the world for catering to a mad "man". B.I.H. Mr. Noble peace price winner. At least he made me laugh when he told off CNN repor-distorter Christiane Amanpour live on air.
57. #36 Arafat had symptoms of AIDS
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.12.11)
Including end-stage dementia. Even his treating physician stated he had the AIDS virus. The 300 page French medical report has been kept secret by Erekat and al-Qidwa. If poisoning was cause of death, that information would have been made public. Poisoning is just another Palestinian lie. Hard for you to accept the truth about your immoral leader who stole the Palestinians blind. Just wondering, is Suha still receiving 22 million per year for her silence? If so, where do the poor Palestinians get this money?
58. Zahwa Arafat has the Right of Return
observer ,   Egypt   (11.12.11)
she is Christian Palestinian on the Maternal side. Zahwa Arafat = Arafat's pride.
59. publish the report and prove it
zionist forever   (11.12.11)
" President Arafat is dead, and the secret of his death went with him to the grave " Prove it, if the medical report you were given doesn't say one way or another and there is nothing to hide like the idea he got AIDS the publish the thing. I would be perfectly understandable if Arafat who spent the better part of his life amongst men only should not have developed some homosexual tendencies and if he did and he felt the urge to have some fun then he had plenty of handsome young body guards surrounding him who would have felt honored to take care of his body. There is probably something there that she knows along with some senor members of the PA top brass otherwise why would they be paying her $1 million a year to stay away from the territories rather than welcoming her. Arafat's very existence is a sad part of history but thankfully now he is gone so lets not waste time mourning for this piece of dirt.
60. Nour no 37
LION OF JUDAH   (11.12.11)
Nour,the late monkey ~Arafat was kicked out Jordan with his gangs, kicked out of Lebanon with his gangs. What an hero you have, but humilation and defeat
