RAMALLAH – Israeli officials have confirmed reports that Arafat died. They said Prime Minister Ariel Sharon obtained the information from French intelligence.

Israeli and Palestinian officials said the 75-year-old Arafat died on Thursday in a military hospital in Paris.

The officials said Arafat was deemed clinically dead, but remained attached to life support systems on the insistence of his wife, Suha, Middle East Newsline reported.

"He is dead and there is no longer any doubt of this," a PA official said. "The announcement will come when Suha agrees to it, but I don't imagine the French allowing a dead Arafat to stay in their hospital for more than another few days."

I know he's on life support, but do you imagine that the flames of Hell are already burning his a$$?

Let's be charitable here folks, the man was evil but hell is a place you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy (ie Chirac, Michael Moore or Arlen Specter). Let's pray he repented in his dying moments, just like Stalin was reported to have done.

"...I don't imagine the French allowing a dead Arafat to stay in their hospital for more than another few days."


There goes the 2-star rating.

Wonder when they figured this out?

I understand French intelligence has also discovered there is a war going on in Ivory Coast.

Yes, where they are supporting the terrorist.

The dead in America can vote. The dead in Europe can make foreign policy.

Meanwhile, Suha Arafat is frantically working to get the codes to Yassir's secret Swiss bank accounts.

Maybe they'll drop him when he's in his coffin like they did the Ayatollah! Did the Ayatollah fall OUT of his coffin....I don't remember.

There are quite a few souls who may have, let's say, just a bit of trouble with this.

French intelligence

Funeral is going to be interesting. Nobody wants to go to Palestine for the burial LOL.

I say we send Jimmah Carter as our representative.

[Teacup]

Hey NYC GOP Chick, it's me Teacup.

I heard this week end such prases as, "Arafat is not dead, but remains in stable condtion",His condtion hasn't worsened."

Sounds like he's dead to me!!!

[I'm ALL Right!]

Great week we're having.

[mlocher]

"He is dead, and there is no longer any doubt of this"

If he is on life support, medications are keeping his heart pumping and he is still physically alive.

Having lived in Europe for 12 years...I can tell you...that a guy ain't dead, until they sign the death certificate, and a government official stamps it. I dealt with this episode with my father-in-law who died in a German hospital. He died on a mid-Friday morning. By the time the certificate had been prepared, it was 1PM, and the German government closes every Friday at that time...so they wouldn't declare him dead or release him until Monday morning. No joke.

Arafat may be 99% dead, but there isn't a stamped certificate yet, and things can just sit and wait on that. Besides, you have the burial plot problem, which will take weeks to resolve.

Maybe he has been dead for years.

In the video clip of arafat right before he left his coumpound he is sitting with several people holding his hand.

He starts to bring the man's hand up to his mouth like he is going to take a bite out of it. Then the tape skips.

Night of the living dead perhaps.

It is a morbid thought, him dead for days but still hooked up to life support in a french hospital.

Are we sure that Arafat is not the illegimate son of Franco?
