Do not mourn Arafat.

Arafat will soon die (or maybe he is already dead). His supporters are planning a state funeral for him in Egypt. I hope and pray that the United States does NOT send a representative to the services. Arafat deserves no respect. He was a terrorist, and never repented of his killings. He stole billions of dollars from his own Palestinian people who live in poverty.

Here is his real story:

...and his greedy wife:

I wonder if it's the same amount George W Bush has wasted in Iraq
 
Well, Arafat is "officially" dead now.

I was taught, if you can't say anything good about the dead, say nothing.

OK. Arafat is dead. Good.

I can tell Satan is still alive.

Well, well, Reba. That's not a nice wish. I would never say that about nobody. It's God's choice.
 
everyone have opinions about who they don't like or not.. so leave it where it belongs.. no need to complain about who dislikes I respect their wish ;)
 
Reba, ok if Bush is dead, I WILL not mourn for him.. and the 55 millions who voted against Bush/For Kerry will NOT mourn for Bush.. like some of us would say "good riddance" which some of us already did that to R.Reagan! :-p

anyway.. I have no need to mourn for Arafat cuz he's not American.. what's the point of telling us not to mourn or to mourn?
 
No, I didn't say anything about liking or disliking. That's a normal behavior. It's wishing someone that they die. I think that's a tad too much to say IMO. Especially hate, such as hating Bush. That's too much. Anything that takes many emotions to hate or wish something nasty is too much IMO.

Arafat is not a terrorist. he fought for his people's rights but isreali refused to share the land with arabs. Rest in peace, arafat. I don't think his death will bring peace. Bush will not bring peace and he wants isreali to control them.
 
According to the Washington Report, on Oct.3, 2003, when Ariel Sharon was warned by someone to heed our requests for a cease-fire, he said "Every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this or do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it."

I don't normally mourn for people I don't personally know. Arafat of course, is one of those people. He's done both good and not so good things...but he also has his own family and friends that will be missing him now that he is dead. I, therefore, have no judgement of him since I don't know him personally nor have I had the pleasure (or displeasure) of ever experiencing his leadership.

Reba, I mean no offense at all when I say this, but there is only one person worthy of deciding who shall be mourned after they cross over. I don't mean me, either. ;) Nah, just kidding. The man upstairs, as you know, is the only one who can judge. Way I see it is this. Everyone makes mistakes....even you. Even me. Even everyone here.

Death is, after all, guaranteed. When my time comes, I hope to only be remembered for my accomplishments and forgiven for my failures.

Nope. Far more than that. Bush massacred more than 100,000 innocent civilians (iraqis).

I know one person I would love to wish 'Death' to claim upon. But naturally, I am above that.

I never "wished" for Arafat to die. I only said that after he died, Americans should not mourn for his death. God chose Arafat's time to die. Now that he is dead, I hope the Palestinian people can chose a better leader.

Arafat was the leader of terrorism across the world for many, many years. There is no reason for America to honor this man.

Arafat wanted to kill all Jews, just like Hitler did. Did Americans boo hoo when they found out that Hitler died? No.

Same thing.

My point is that I hope America does not send an official delegation to Arafat's funeral. I don't think we should honor a person who planned terrorist attacks that killed Americans.

Please review Arafat's history.
1. Arafat was Egyptian. The Palestinians are not even "his people". He forced his way into their leadership.

2. Arafat planned the kidnapping and killing of the Israeli athletes during the 1973 Munich Olympics. How can you justify that?

3. Arafat trained and supported Irish (IRA) terrorists, and Japanese Communist terrorists. How did that help "his people's rights".

4. When Israel first became an independent nation, they did not force all the Palestinians to leave. In fact, many of them are still citizens of Israel and live in the country. The Palestinians left Israel because they took the side of the Arab nations that wanted to destroy Israel. Why should they be allowed to have their way in Israel? They want to destroy the country. What country would be foolish enough to let the enemy move in?

5. How does killing Americans "help his people"?

Yes, and I expect them to mourn him, as a personal loss. I just don't want our country to mourn or honor him in an official way. That would be an insult to all the innocent people Arafat killed.

None taken. :)

Yes, God judges what happens to someone's eternal life. We can still decide what is the right thing to do here on earth.


Everyone makes mistakes....even you. Even me. Even everyone here.
Yes, I make mistakes too. But deliberately planning terrorist killings is not just a "mistake." Also, Arafat never repented his "mistakes".

You know that isn't true.

I don't "wish" death on anyone. I don't pray "God kill that person."

Okay Reba, you didn't say 'wish' but you said this which is equally scary to me.

Well, Arafat is "officially" dead now.

I was taught, if you can't say anything good about the dead, say nothing.

OK. Arafat is dead. Good.

Emphasizing good in bold letters....scary. I mean, I wouldn't say that no matter what. I just know he died, and ummm I did say RIP to him. I don't know him, but I believe Malfoyish stated it beautifully.


Bye Arrrrraaaaafaaaaaaat and dont come back!

Well, this is a funny line. lol I read that people have life after life in other lifetimes, so he might come back..sorry..but maybe he will come back a better person making up for the bad things. It happens.
