(IsraelNN.com) el-Jazeera news agency is reporting that Yasser Arafat’s will calls for a funeral service in Cairo and temporary interment to be followed by eventually being laid to rest in Jerusalem.

The never-ending rumors surrounding his condition also report preparations are underway for a Ramallah burial service and he will be laid to rest near his Mukata compound. PA officials add that at some time in the future, he will be laid to rest on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, when it is the capital of Palestine.

Senior Channel 2 correspondent Ehud Ya’ari commented earlier tonight that no official request has been made by the PA to Jerusalem regarding a Ramallah burial. Until now, the prime minister has indicated Israel would only permit Arafat to be buried in Gaza.

Oh yea, a person I know's will, who is going to pass away 2 seconds after Arafat does, calls for Arafat's body to be fed into a tree shreder.

[mhking]

Oh, well, I guess his will won't be honored.

NEXT!

People in hell want ice water, doesn't mean they gonna get it.

[Maceman]

Well gee. My will calls for me to be buried on the White House lawn. So I guess that's where they'll have to put me.

[weenie]

Allah (PBWH)...is that you...is this Jerusalem?

Hey, Yasser...been waiting for you all week. This isn't Jerusalem, but you'll will find many of your old friends here.

"Arafat should be dumped at sea and eaten by sharks."

Humph...what did the sharks do to you?? Don't you know that even sharks have standards??

[Radix]

Arafat should be dumped at sea and eaten by sharks.

Do you have something against sharks?

[processing please hold]

Ara-fat will be buried in Jerusalem when pigs fly from trees, and Muslims start eating the 'OTHER' white meat.

I have been thinking that this may actually be a spark that triggers some heavy violence in the region. The Palestinians, the Europeans, the UN, the media, and all other Arab leaders will be screaming bloody murder when Israel refuses to allow Arafat to be buried in Jerusalem. I hope and pray that the violence that this will likely cause be restricted to Arab terrorists killing each other, and that Israel is not affected by the insanity. I disagree with President Bush on this. He said in a press conference, "God bless his soul." I say, "May you have mercy on his soul, Almighty God. May your will be done."

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Maybe I'll put that in my will.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, please... wait until it's the capital of Palestine. By all means. Like that's going to happen any century in the near future.

Soon to be a hot "threesome," once Arafat finally gets where he's going:
