Arafat diagnosed with gallstones

Not at death's door after all. From the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to Kemaste:

Yasser Arafat has a large gallstone, a Palestinian hospital official said Tuesday, as the weakened Palestinian leader broke his Ramadan fast and underwent more medical tests at the urging of his doctors.

The gallstone is not life threatening and can be easily treated, the official told The Associated Press.

Palestinian officials insisted Arafat, 75, was simply recovering from a lengthy bout of the flu. However, Palestinian medical sources said he has been inexplicably exhausted in recent weeks and Israeli officials have speculated he is suffering from stomach cancer.

Teams of Egyptian and Tunisian doctors have examined him in recent days. On Monday, he underwent an endoscopy, or exam of the digestive tract. And he has not led Muslim evening prayers at the makeshift mosque in his compound, as he has done in the past during the fasting month of Ramadan.

UPDATE: The staff here in Secure Undisclosed Locationville is having fun with this one. "Arafat has gallstones? It figures: he's sure got a lot of gall." Etc. You fill in the blanks. (Extra update, with apologies to the commenters: I hadn't read the comments before I added it. I should have figured you'd be ahead of us at the office on this.)

Of course,all the gall he displayed by professing terrorism to Arabs while denying it to the English media.

Awww.... and here's me thinking I had a zionist celebration party to go to this weekend.

Oh well, I hope now Mr.Arafat realises what a pain in the gut he's been.

I thought Catherine said Arafat was "gutless".....

The Audience:*awwwwwww!!!

While we're on the subject of "palestine".

Al Jazeera nightly news-
Oct 31, 2004

Nobel Peace Prize winner Arafat has died. Millions of peaceful oppressed Muslims mourn...

In other news...
Americans celebrate his death in the streets, handing out sweets to their children and dressing in Satanic costumes.

Aratwat,
Your day of reckoning is upon ye,
thy shall discover twas bullshit about the 72 cock-suckers in hell,
and ye will thereby perish for your dishonesty,
and all the blood on your filthy arab hands,
and burn eternally thereafter,
thou false kingdom shall soon join ye.

I always thought Yasser had rocks in his head instead.......

If the doctors remove his gallstones maybe the "palestinians" can use them to toss over the wall at "zionists", or if they're really, really big they could even stone an adultress or two to death with them.

I work in Healthcare, and I've never heard of a case of a lizard having gallstones. There has to be something more to this.

Oh, darn! And here I was, chilling a nice Bolly in the fridge to celebrate the mongrel carking it sometime in the very new future. Oh poo!

A large gallstone? What a drama queen. At death's door we were told. My mum had a large gallstone. She still managed to put on a roast and do a load of laundry before calmly asking my dad to take her to the hospital.

I personally believe that he is dying, and that they are just covering. You don't vomit from the "flu" (which is a respiratory illness) for weeks. Even an intestinal "flu" [virus] will only cause vomiting for up to a week. There are medications which will inhibit the vomiting in any case. He is at death's door and they are hiding it because of the havoc it will wreak in the community.

I see he takes 'getting stoned' literally...

To quote Scripture:

"Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; / Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: / Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him."

So sorry to hear that the news of Arafat's death has been greatly exaggerated. (I'm sure Suha Arafat is too, but for vastly different reasons!)

Wow. This commentary is alarming. Full of hate. Scripture quotations amongst the wishes for someone, anyones death is jarring.

It's jingoistic and a little discouraging.

Middlewing,
How many innocent people have died at the hand of Arafat?

Carolyn2,

How many innocent people have died in the name of Operation Iraqi Freedom?

Middlewing~ How many have NOT died at the hands of Saddam and his lovely children this year? Or starved to death because he siphoned away money from the UN oil-for-food debacle, to continue work on his palaces and weapons programs?

How many are now in schools that barely functioned while Saddam was in control?

How many are getting medical treatment in hospitals that barely existed two years ago?

Details, please.

Gary,

There's no question that Saddam was a heinous and villainous dictator. I do not support the man, his regime or his policies. Their effect on the Iraqi population is well noted.

I merely asked: how many innocent people have died in the course of Operation Iraqi Freedom?

Demonstrative idealogy sometimes results in innocent casualties. My worry is that this violence will only beget more violence, create the desire for more martyrs. More terror, more death.

Can you win over, free people's hearts by dropping bombs?

Jingoistic? Arafat isn't despised because he's a Muslim. He's despised because he's a filthy embezzling child killer, who just happens to be a Muslim.......Jeez, he's got nothing going for him.

War is a bitch, so stop being a bitch whining about it. If Arabs and Muslims would simply become educated on how to conduct themselves, they would live in peace. Since they want us dead, it makes more sense for them to be beaten to the punch.

Appeasing or attempting to negotiate with illiterate lizards is futile. They understand power and power only, that's why we see so many Palestinian 3 year olds waving guns around on video.

We've not forgotten 9/11, and who did it. If that's jingoistic in the eyes of some, then so be it. 9/11 changed me, and I'm disappointed that it hasn't changed everyone.

War is a bitch so stop being a bitch and whining about it?

Now I see the light. Your powers of persuasion have won me over. How can one dispute such erudition?

"Appeasing or attempting to negotiate with illiterate lizards is futile."

You're right.

Next.

let the games begin

Try this on for size, MiddleWing:

"Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevlolence, confidence, justice." -- Benedict Spinoza

incidentally, i agree w/ cgw. got my ab.d. in microbiology focusing on bacterial & viral infections. the whole scenario surrounding arafat from what i can tell has a dim prognosis

waterdragon52,

I think Spinoza's quote contains a great deal of wisdom and balance.

However, using this quote in reference to the previous discussion does not.

Arafat is a homosexual and is dying of complications resulting from AIDS. This is the reason the Isrealis haven't killed him. Their reasoning is, better for hims to die as a homosexual with AIDS, than die as a martyr.

MiddleWing:

Given your description of Iraqi as a nation of free people, who, by implication, were living in a state of peace until they were so rudely disturbed by the US/UK led invasion of 2003, I'd say Spinoza's quote has a great deal of relevance.

The hearts and minds of the Germans and Japanese who were bombed into submission during WW II weren't won over by the bombings they endured during the war. Winning the hearts and minds of people who experienced a decade or so of fascism took a fair bit of time and nation-building.

Obviously, the effort involved in undoing what it took centuries of extreme religious intolerance (that even errupts between various Muslim sects) and 60 years of Baathism is enormous. The real bogeymen here aren't Bush and Blair, but Chiraq, Yeltsin, et al,who didn't simply oppose taking Saddam out, but helped him to subvert the sanctions that were imposed after he invaded Kuwait, enriching themselves and helping Saddam to rebuild and hand over the reigns of power to the less psychotic of his two sons.

Middlewing,
Let's just cut to the chase- What do you think about a world wide caliphate? Do you think we should just submit to Islam? Do you think we have the right to fight for our way of life? All the nice fuzzy loving FEELINGS in the world won't stop Zarqawi and his butchers because he believes that he is on a holy mission. Really, what are your thoughts? You speak of jingoism, my dictionary defines jingo as-One who boasts of his patriotism and favors an aggressive foreign policy. Yes, indeed, when faced with someone who wants to remove my head from my shoulders, I might have to be aggressive.

I don't know anything about the AIDS rumor, but folks should go back and read Fallaci's commentary on her interview with Arafat and his 'tall guards', who seemed a bit too handsome even for her. Its a good read.

waterdragon52,

I'm sorry. When did I describe Iraq as a nation of free people? How did I imply they were living in a state of peace until the US/UK led invasion. I did not.

I stated my concern was that demonstrative idealogy, in the form of the US/UK led invasion, will only beget more violence, create the desire for more martyrs, more terror, more death.

How can you equate Japan, Germany during the second world war to the current situation in the middle east?

The authors of 9/11 were not Iraqi. Iraq never attacked the U.S. The Japanese clearly bombed Pearl Harbor.

United States Ambassador to Sudan Cleo A. Noel Jr. and George Curtis Moore, charge d'affaires at the United States Embassy in Khartoum, were among a group of men seized by Black September terrorists during a reception held at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum [Sudan]. The terrorists demanded the release of Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian assassin of Robert Kennedy, as well as terrorists being held in Israeli and European prisons. President Nixon refused to negotiate. The tape was of conversations between Arafat in Beirut and his thugs in Khartoum. Execute the diplomats, ordered Arafat. The terrorists obeyed, machine gunning the unarmed, hapless Noel and Moore. They also killed a Belgium diplomat. The authenticity of the tape was verified in U.S. laboratories by both the State Department and the White House.

On March 2, 1973, around 8:00pm (local) --Abu-Iyad called Abu-Ghassan and gave him the Cold River [Nahr al-Bard] code: "Remember Nahr al-Bard. The people's blood in the Nahr al-Bard is screaming for revenge. These are our final orders. We and the world are watching you." The execution took place on 9:06. (Reportedly, about half an hour later than planned because Abu-Tariq let the Americans write last letters and wills.) A few minutes later, when the international media still did not report the killing, Beirut wanted to make sure that the executions took place. Arafat himself did the talking to Abu-Ghassan. He asked him if he received the code word Nahr al-Bard and if he understood what it meant. Abu-Ghassan assured Arafat that he had understood everything and that his -- Arafat's -- orders had already been carried out fully.

Read it all.

MiddleWing, you are being mislead.
The arab ( and iranian ) game for a long time has been to finance any number of jihadist groups as attack armies whose attacks the paymasters can deny responsibility for.
And Iraq, or more specifically saddam, was definitely part of that.
So, unless you make clear to the governments and the people of these countries that, if they finance and give other aid to groups whose objective is to kill 'us', we well hold them responsible, even though those killing us do not wear the uniform of one or another arab/islamic country.
And yes, saddam was indeed financing terror, and allowing terrorists safe haven in iraq.

The arabs, and the iranians, have been playing this game for years. We are so stuck on the formalized concepts of war that, even today, no western country has 'declared war', even though there is ample proof as to the support, both financial and logistic, that many arab countries continue to give to these unofficial armies whose job is to undermine our system, disrupt our economy, destroy our confidence in our own governments ability to defend our way of life etc., and allow their host and sponsoring countries to deny any responsibility.
So, to put it bluntly, you are very dangerously wrong.

MiddleWing:


In response to Gary, you seemingly contradicted yourself with your closing comment: "Can you win over, free people's hearts by dropping bombs?" To which people were you referring then, if not the Iraqis?

Iraq may not have been the author of 9/11, but it was certainly the co-author. Among other things Iraq was the safe haven for Sheik Yasin, the high-ranking Al Quaeda operative who mixed the bomb material used to blow up the Pan Am building in NYC. Saddam also encouraged Ansar Al Islam to take up residence in the north to give grief to the semi-autonomous Kurds.

In the greater scheme of things, Saddam also provided Abu Nidel, murderer of Leon Klinghoffer (an American), with safe haven until Nidel expired of liver cancer shortly after the invasion. Saddam also made Iraq host to terrorist training camps for decades and took great pains to publicize his financial support for Palestinian suicide bombers.

As for similarities between the Middle East today and Germany and Japan in the 1930s, I suggest you open your eyes and ears and look around you. They may not be rounding up Jews, because the Jewish populations are long gone, but they are certainly repressing and harassing their Christian and other non-Muslim populations into leaving.

The number of people who have been tortured or put to death because they offered even the mildest opposition to Baathism (Iraq and Syria) or Islamist theocracies (Algeria, Iran, etc.) is staggering. Ayatollah Khomeini alone may have had as many as a million opponents to his regime put to death during his reign of terror (over and above the massive loss of life that occured during his 8 year war with Iraq). And today there is Darfur, and the condonation of Khartoum's ethnic cleansing of the non-Arab population, by Sudan's fellow Muslim states.

The analogies are not exact, but there is a frightening similarity between the alliances forged between a handful of (largely European) fascist/totalitarian states 60+ years ago, and the alliances today between a much larger number of Arab and non-Arab Muslim states, most if not all of which are, in fact, totalitarian.

Waterdragon, that is a good point. Why do people insist on focusing on the several thousands who are unfortunate casualties of a war we did not begin, when the people who support terrorism world-wide are responsible for the deaths of millions. Are we somehow more responsible for the people the terrorists hide among, than those responsible for genocide of millions in Rwanda, Darfur, The Hindu Kush, about a Thousand et ceteras?

I work in Healthcare, and I've never heard of a case of a lizard having gallstones. There has to be something more to this.

Gary:

Thank you for articulating my point in plain English.

I hate to risk being cast as a conspiracy theorist, but there is a huge conspiracy here -- of silence and denial of accountability on the part of the leaders of Arab/non-Arab Muslim world -- who close rank around each other or get into bed with their enemy's enemy when it suits their most immediate purpose (Saddam WAS willing to put out the welcome mat for Osama towards the end, Osama just didn't need to take him up on it, and it appears that Syria has indeed obliged Saddam vis a vis storing his WMDs for him despite the long-standing animosity between the two Baathist regimes).

Not that the West hasn't been guilty of the same game (e.g. supporting Saddam against Khomeini, as the lesser of two evils). This, however, is why Bush has gained limited support over John Kerry at least when it comes to the "war on terror" -- in some of the most unlikely quarters (Chris Hitchens, Sarah Baxter, Phyllis Chesler, etc.). By taking on Saddam despite the Saudis' stand against the invasion, he's shown he's not completely beholden to them (as Michael Moore would have it) and, further, that he's no longer willing to tolerate "friendly despots", hence the Saudis' attempts to crack down on Al Qaeda although they suffered reprisals for it.

As for all the carping about how clumsily Bush has prosecuted the war, has anyone considered how difficult it would have been for him to commit even more troops when the support he had was limited at best? The real bad guys here are really the French and the Russians, who not only opposed the invasion, but were conniving with Saddam to line their own pockets. And both are reaping a whirl-wind of their own in varying degrees, although Yeltsin seems to be having a change of heart post-Ossetia.

WD52
For those who don't see the whole chess borad?

This plan is Genius!! here is why
1 saddam had used cems on his own people FACT

THAT IS NASTY SUFF AND THE LESS YOU EXPOSE YOUR TEAM TO THIS THE BETTER

2 the weather is very hot and to keep men with warter [clean] of 3 gallans a day ? now thats a hell of a lot of water and you know the mass of water?

PUSH AND GO POUND THE HELL OUT USE YOUR AIR

3 know terrorist in big city 30,000 of saddams secreat fighters all forgien

CONVINCE THE NATIVES TO FIGHT THEIR OWN FIGHT

4 Iraq a basci mulsum cuntry

THE LESS FOOT PRINT THE BETTER HAVE QUICK FORCE AND MORE MOBILE

5 still not find all cem

DON'T WANT TO EXPOSE ALL YOUR TEAM TO MAD MONSTERS WHO HAVE NO PROBLEM KILLING THEIR OWN CHILDREN REMEMBER WE HAVE THE AIR


6 the problem is that the people are so weak and have nothing and the terrorist had free rain to kill the Iraqi people!!

again I THINK THE PLAN WAS GENIUS DO NOT OVER EXPOSE YOUR TEAM AND KILL THE ENEMY REMEMBER WE HAVE NOT FOUND THE BAD STUFF YET??

AND FOR THE LIBS OUT THERE MUSSIS NOT WORTH DIEING FOR THIS IS A GOOD PLAN REMEMBER IN 1 DAY WE LOST OVER 3000 ON A BEACH AND THAT IS ALL WE GOT THAT DAY [WW2]

WE HAVE ONLY HAD 2 CEM EXPOSERS WHEN THAT BOMB WHENT OFF AND THEY HAD THEIR ARTIPEEN AND GREAT TRAINING!!

THERE IS MORE THE FRENCH CAN'T SEND TROOPS IF THEY WANTED TO THEY ARE TO THE BONE AND HAVE MANY MANY MULSUMS IN THEIR COUNTRY AND SO DOES EUROPE!! ROVEING RAPE GANGS WE IN THE USA DON'T HEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LIKE US THEY KEEP THEIR DIRTY LAUNDRY IN DOORS!!

occasionally , a man carries around him such a disgusting aura that it actually touches those around him. Hitler had it and Arafat has it.
Oriana fallacci noticed the stench too.

Few men exhude such malevolence and corruption as this man and those around him the lapdog eulogists of the west are tainted by it as surely as if they had attended course in murder and mayhem in terror training camps.

And now Chirac who is corrupt to the core, joins hands with the malevolent egyptian and sends a french plane for him.
Would he send such planes for his own citizens such as the two journalists still missing ater the french genuflection at the feet of Islamofascism ? Idoubt it.

And yet in all this after the knowledge of Arafat's horrific career in murder ( of Palestinians too!) the same question keeps repeating itself.

HOw did the father of hijacking and terrorism, nothing but an islamoc brotherhood murderer become transformed by THE WESTERN PRESS into the committed saviour of the palestinin people ,worshipped by every left wing nutter a la Nelson Mandela ?
One thinks of the pain of the Vietnam Vets at the Insults and injurious lies thrown at them by John Kerry and how he turned american servicemen into pariahs of society, unworthy even to wear their medals and uniforms in public.
One thinks of the pain of ambassador Cleo Noel's widow, children relatives at the sight of the Egyptian murderer on the White House Lawn exchanging pleasantries with Bill and Hilary or with Jimmy carter.

Why do we honor those who so visibly corrupt our world ?
Is their not one upstanding politician who will refuse to attend the state funeral of this dying monster?
I doubt it , but we will see when the time comes.

Here is the link to the account of the murder of Ambassador Cleo Noel that was personally ordered by Arafat.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (CNN) -- Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is suffering from a blood platelet deficiency and is being moved to Paris for additional tests to determine its cause, one of his doctors said Thursday.

"There are certain investigations for this disease, which is not possible to do them here," said his physician, Ashraf al-Kurdi.

"This is why we advised him to go abroad for further investigations, because if we know exactly what is the cause of the platelet deficiency, then the treatment can be very easy."

Abbas Zaki, a member of the Fatah Central Committee, said Arafat will be taken Friday to Jordan by helicopter, where he will be placed aboard a French aircraft for the flight to Paris.

Well I guess he wont be comingback.....

Jimal-Islamia in Indonesia issued a similar warning to us here in Australia, that "our streets will be flowing with blood".......these imbeciles are so full of themselves its unbelievable, yet they have to hide behind hoods and in caves when they issue their warnings.

*Cowards* is all they is.

This just in. Arafat could be FAKING his illness to escape a 2-year confinement! Ah, taqiyya and kitman strikes again.

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41162

And yet we read the remarkable testimony of one ION PACEBO who reveals how the metamorphosis of a lowly grub into a coloful butterfly was achieved by the arch propagandists of the KGB.
Such masterful work taking full account of the useful idiots of the west and its foolish press.
Always show an olive branch, when you wish only to show a Kalashnikov ! This will bring the whole of the left onto your side !
Brilliant, the whole operation should form part of propaganda studies at University.
Of course made so much easier by the thirst for Islamic oil and the need to create a nyth that would not constrict its flow into the arteries of western countries.

Read this Insight into the grand father of terrorism, the inventor of the palestinian cause and aircraft highjacking
http://www.weizmann.ac.il/home/comartin/israel/pacepa-wsj.html

'When I first met Arafat, I was stunned by the ideological similarity between him and his KGB mentor. Arafat's broken record was that American "imperial Zionism" was the "rabid dog of the world," and there was only one way to deal with a rabid dog: "Kill it!" In the years when Gen. Sakharovsky was the chief Soviet intelligence adviser in Romania, he used to preach in his soft, melodious voice that "the bourgeoisie" was the "rabid dog of imperialism," adding that there was "just one way to deal with a rabid dog: Shoot it!" He was responsible for killing 50,000 Romanians. In 1972, the Kremlin established a "socialist division of labor" for supporting international terrorism. Romania's main clients in this new market were Libya and the PLO.'

So, unfortunately, the Angel of Death hasn’t arrived, this time, to collect the detestable Yasir Arafat, the most experienced terrorist on Earth. THIS particular “complaint” of his, alas, is “treatable” - not in the nearby Ramallah Clinic, but in his darling, France - with Israel saying today that “Abu-Amar” can return to his Muqata Compound, when he’s discharged from hospital there.

(At this point, Israel doesn’t want to be seen as harming Arafat’s health - much less as culpable for his potential demise - viewing this phase of dealing with “el-Rais” as “a Humanitarian case”, going as far as offering him the ultra-modern medical facilities of the Jewish State.)

But once he’s out of his restricted quarters in “Palestine”, Arafat probably WON’T be hastening back, specially if he’s luxuriating in Paris, or someplace in Europe, close to his embezzled multi-billions. However, his lengthy convalescence (and likely subsequent, plush “retirement”) in France or Sweden, Austria or Spain, Switzerland or Greece, DOESN’T mean for one, tiny second that he won’t be directly back to his old, murderous tricks - and now with a vengeance!

Europe’s bound to become a safe-haven, a BOUNTEOUS base and launching-pad for a fresh, re-energized “Palestinian” Terror-campaign against Israel and America. Arafat himself, serene in the Alps or ensconced in some island villa, will be posing again, hyper-opportunistically, UNTOUCHABLE, as “Mr Indispensable” - as he spouts his brazen lies and propaganda, while gleefully plying his arch-duplicities and mayhem (from his lavish, IMMUNE “retreat”, as deviously and secretively as ever), with the demented adulation of Europe AND ITS SUPPORT.

After the odious, maniacal, AILING “Abu-Amar” finally does expire, though, it’d nevertheless be WAY premature to hold that Peace’ll soon come to the Holy Land: sadly, it could be several YEARS before any Arab leader - HONESTLY wishing for a proper Peace with Israel AND able to do ALL the things necessary for its advent - emerges in “Palestine”.

midleftwing-
With regards to your first comment, I for one am glad to see a supporter of terrorism die. And no, I am not afraid to say I HATE TERRORISTS.

Folks
Interesting thread this, eh?
Am still in doubt as to whether 'middlewing' was a genuine guy or yet another troll strolling around.

If it was the former, may I urge you folks to be a li'l more 'understanding and compassionate' around here, huh? We don't wanna be scaring away the good guys - you know, the guy who when they see reality as it stands would join us.

Cheerio.

From severe flu, to gallstones, to a mysterious blood disorder...Arafat's illness is as prolific and slippery as jihadist terror groups.

Odd, you would think that doctors would have some idea what is wrong with him if they are ready to put him on an airplane: a fitting end to this man if even his cause of death is a lie.

Its starting. Get a load of this BBC story that can only be entitled Prelude">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3963325.stm">Prelude to the idolization of a mass murderer courtesy of the Islamintern at the BBC

Middlewing,
How many of those innocents have been blown apart by "insurgents"???

Hmmm. And I always thought Arafat WAS a gallstone!

Kepha, all I can say is that his passing will be painful for us all.

Or is that a kidney stone?
