ah well..he has caused much pain and suffering......kinda glad to see him gone.

 

Now that's a childish remark. Sure he's done some bad things, but he's still human & deserves some respect. He was just a man that wanted what rightfully belonged to his people.

 

I'm sure he's getting a warm welcome in the afterlife.

 

No, I don't think that was his number one concern. The billions stashed away in foreign bank accounts would attest to his priorities. And being human really doesn't automatically entitle one to respect. I can think of a few, and I'm sure you can too....

 

Where are the virgins?

 

There are none. In Hell, everyone is screwed.

 

did he give respect to those that he killed..and his people killed?...

 

Politcal threads always lead to no good.. be careful please.

 

It would take an encyclopedia to catalog all of the evil Arafat committed. But that is no excuse for not trying to recall at least some of it. Perhaps his signal contribution to the practice of political terror was the introduction of warfare against children. On one black date in May 1974, three PLO terrorists slipped from Lebanon into the northern Israeli town of Ma'alot. They murdered two parents and a child whom they found at home, then seized a local school, taking more than 100 boys and girls hostage and threatening to kill them unless a number of imprisoned terrorists were released. When Israeli troops attempted a rescue, the terrorists exploded hand grenades and opened fire on the students. By the time the horror ended, 25 people were dead; 21 of them were children. Thirty years later, no one speaks of Ma'alot anymore. The dead children have been forgotten. Everyone knows Arafat's name, but who ever recalls the names of his victims? So let us recall them: Ilana Turgeman. Rachel Aputa. Yocheved Mazoz. Sarah Ben-Shim'on. Yona Sabag. Yafa Cohen. Shoshana Cohen. Michal Sitrok. Malka Amrosy. Aviva Saada. Yocheved Diyi. Yaakov Levi. Yaakov Kabla. Rina Cohen. Ilana Ne'eman. Sarah Madar. Tamar Dahan. Sarah Soper. Lili Morad. David Madar. Yehudit Madar. The 21 dead children of Ma'alot -- 21 of the thousands of who died at Arafat's command.

Arafat deserves the same "respect" due to Adolf Hitler, and no more.
