Salam Fayad had best watch out or he may have a visit from several nice young masked men and end up hung from a light pole.
I can almost see Arafat starting to twitch and stammer right now. :lol:

It's pretty obvious that he deliberately keeps them poor because it looks good for the television cameras.

How much longer does this bull**** need to continue until Israel gets the balls to drop a GBu-15 on him and call it a day?
Sure it will piss of the Eurodemolibs, but it will definately make the world safer and will allow the advancement of the peace process.

The Europeans are not the only ones who will get pissed if we kill Arafat :roll: uncle sam wouldn't be too happy either...

My take on Arafat is a bit different then a lot here. Yes I hate him and yes I want him dead but I don’t think he is the major problem. In other words, it is wrong to say that by killing him or by him being gone, the peace process can go forward for I think that’s not understanding the conflict. Arafat his not the sole obstacle to peace but rather the hearts and minds of the Arab world that have not really internally accepted Israel’s right to exist, even in the pre 1967 borders. Yes I know that in English you hear the token acceptance speeches by a few Arabs, but it is not in Arabic and it is not the feeling of a majority of the Arab world.
So in essence Arafat’s departure so to speak will not change the harsh realities on the ground for he will simply be replaced by someone more extreme or if it is the opposite it wont be someone that has the support of the people.
Shalom :D

i dont have power to judge him but i say you that killing him make him a martyr (sp?) so only hamas and other group will become stronger only way is cut their basis if they don't have supporters they will die all :) and there are two ways of dealing....

'60 Minutes': Arafat has $800 million in bank
From aid meant for PA, wife in Paris receives $100,000 monthly

Yasser Arafat has private bank accounts worth more than $800 million built up with funds designated as aid to the Palestinian Authority, according to a report.
From the appropriated money, he transfers $100,000 a month to his wife Suha, who lives in Paris with their daughter, according to the CBS News program "60 Minutes," which will air the report Sunday.
The investigation was assisted by PA Finance Minister Salam Fayad, who is trying to trace all of the money allocated to the PA that never reached its intended destination.
The CBS investigation confirms previous reports.
A recent International Monetary Fund audit revealed Arafat diverted $900 million from the PA budget into bank accounts under his control.
In 1998, the European Union discovered through an audit of its own that $20 million designated for low-income housing was used to build a luxury apartment complex for top PA officials and Arafat associates.
A former Arafat treasurer charged last year Arafat transferred more than $500 million in international aid to personal accounts.
An Israeli intelligence report calculated his assets to be $1.3 billion.
