Farewell Arfaat

funeral arrangement is already being set now

from JoeUser Forums
Well President Arfaat is dying in Paris as you all know from the news ,resons behind his deadly illness still remains a secret between the french physicans treating him ,despite the reports and the news reaching to us in the Mid East and the Arab world confirming that he was poisoned by a slow poison in his food ,this was confirmed in indirect way by the annoucement in the Arabic media that there was an investigation in Ramallah in the Arfaat's headquarter with all the people who responsible with Arfaat's food and medicine

the Question here rises who poisoned Arfaat ?
the first answer can be the Iseralis but the Iseralis could have got rid of him from long time ,but still they are number 1 suspects especailly the threats of Sharon and his minister by killing Arfaat
the second answer appeared yesterday and the day before it when Soha Arfaat (his wife whom I was surprised to see it again after news they were divorced!!) accused the Arfaat's palestinian authority officals that they were iniherting him and wanted him dead ,accusation that had many meanings

yet the Palestinian street didn't care too much for her statement
for one reason they don't respect her as a wife ,leaving her husband away for 3 years with no support even in a television support or something ,they considered this act as escape ,the palestinian woman suffers everyday and she doesn't complain
while she is living in paris with the money of the Liberation Organization and the money of the Palestinian people
"where was she?" a palestinian woman said on the al-jazeera yesterday in a comment on what Soha said

for another reason ,Soha is being accused with other Palestinian authority officals from many parties with corruption and stealing the money of Palestinian people

But I am convince that if he was Poisoned ,the Iserali governmet will be behind it,he is not the first or the last palestinian killed by iserali government

anyway the funeral arrangement is beginning arranged right now in Ramallah for where he is going to be buried ,well sure not in jerusalem as Iseral refused (is there any more humiliation then this).but there is still a hope by tomorrow's visit of the Egyptian Foreign affairs Minister with other important officails (there was a romour that he is going to be buried in Egypt)

I guess and I expect the announcement of death or even the funeral will be in the next saturday not on Friday for two reasons

1- Next friday is considered in the Islamic lunar celander is last friday in the holy month of Ramdan ,the last friday as we call it ,it is important day ,and clashes can happen between the palestinians and iseralis after Friday prayer in jerusalem (Palestinians convinced that Iseral government poisoned their leader)

2- and I guess this reason is much more important that the date 12th of novemebr is the Quds Day (jerusalem day),

domenstrations could happen in this day in Palestine against Iseral and its policy

anyway the question here is what is going after his departure?

If Israel wanted to get rid of him they would have done it a long time ago... and not through food poisoning. Dont start looking for ways to turn Afafats' death into another anti-Israel tyrade.
It is unfortunate that the Israeli government refuses to allow him to be buried in Al Kuds, but according to Achmed Tibi, an Arab member of the Israeli Parliament, this is a decision that will eventually be overturned.
Let us just hope that whoever is Arafats replacement will be a true partner in the peace process and we can put the present day madness behind us!
Salaam!

Salaam and Shalom!

My fear is that Arafat's death will result in a Palestinian meltdown, trying to fill his place. A civil war amongst the Palestinians vying for power. Add to that, their hatred of Israel, and Israelis get the brunt of their internal power quest, by blame, which is already happening, which will lead to more homicide bombers, which will lead to more Israeli troop presence, which will lead to more hatred, leading to more blame, and on and on and on...............

I just wish this will all end.

well Manopeace I respect your view and I agree with you that Iseral would have done this from a long time ,but you forgot something to kill Arfaat directly can cause a war between the Palestinians and Isleralis ,Arfaat was survived from 6 or 7 attempts of assisnation in his life before goign back to palestine ,Killing him directly will make the Palestinians very angry ,the man is symbol to his people

If you remember the funeral of Shekih Yassin of El-Hamas millinat group ,I remember it ,it was very big one and palestinians were angry and demonstrations were in many places even in the Arab conutries ,and it was for a man leading a specfic group in the palestinian society not leading the Palestinians as a whole

what if it was Arfaat ,so getting rid from him in a slowly way like this with his bad health condition is better,anyway this is my own assumption may be it is true may be it is wrong


another news update:

Egypt agreed on hosting the funeral (maybe the burial too ,how ironically ,he was born in Egypt and his funeral in Egypt)

i agree with manopeace as far as the poisoning aspect.  although we may never know for sure, i doubt he was poisoned.  if that were the case, why not reveal the evidence?  arafat's marriage was always a mystery to me as was his acceptance of his wife living in luxury.  no doubt the palestinian people will ever see much--if any--of the money that was diverted from them. 

whomever succeeds arafat, a resolution to the problem is much more likely i think.  the struggle ultimately became arafat's life--literally. ending it would have left him 'lifeless'.  it's difficult to imagine that being the case with his successor.

i found the israeli government's reason for refusing arafat burial in jerusalem laffable--literally.  with all due respect to both sides, the ancient kings of the jews werent known for fainting at the site of blood...not even by the river.

Very true.... but the main thing is that it is in the interests of both sides, both Israel and Palestine to live together, side by side, both mutually repected. I hope and pray that the new Palestinian leader will work towards this day. And, as an Israeli, I hope that Ariel Sharon will also be replaced soon by someone that really wants peace.

Me too Dabe
I am afraid that the people who want to take Arfaat place like Abu mazn ,Abu Alaa ..etc don't desreve the place and also they are not popular in the palestinian street ,most of them is known for corruption ,that is why the feat of civil war exists yet this fear is felt by the palestinian themselves

yet till now things are going in smooth way and I wish it ends peacefully because the region has enough trouble
