Arafat museum in works

Keepers of Palestinian leader's memory gathering thousands of objects - photographs, pistols, trademark sunglasses and military-style suits he favored - for display in $3.4 million museum under construction at his former West Bank headquarters. Shopkeeper: I loved him because he died while resisting Israel, US

Yasser Arafat had a knack for turning ordinary objects into symbols, including the black-and-white checkered headdress that came to represent the Palestinian quest for a homeland.

Six years after his death, the keepers of Arafat's memory are gathering thousands of objects - photographs, pistols, the trademark sunglasses and military-style suits he favored - for display in a museum under construction at his former West Bank headquarters, where Arafat spent the last three years of his life encircled by Israeli forces.

There was a transistor radio and a Muslim holy book, both said to have been left at a house where Arafat stayed during a secret foray into the West Bank during the 1967 Middle East war.

——One of the BIGGEST terrorists ever -——

Actually, he was height challenged like Robert Reisch. Joe Biden once said “stand up there Yasser”

His head rag always had a large tuck on top to make him appear taller. It was an elevator head rag in addition to his elevator shoes

He was a half pint terrorist

Given Arafats "love" for boys, will it have it's own "SODOMY" wing?

How about a "How to steal millions upon millions from international funds donated to poor Arabs in order to live a lavish lifestyle and to feather my nest" wing. Will that also be there?

What, nothing dedicated to AIDS concerns or the creators of Preparation H?

The human race has seen a relative decrease in terror of the likes unknown before.

Maybe the current leader of the Palestinians, Abu Mazen, could donate the ski masks worn by he and Arafat's minions at the Munich Massacre of Israeli athletes that launched the modern barbaric age of terrorism.
