Arafat retires to Miami ARAFAT RETIRES TO MIAMI BEACH; CLAIMS LAND HELD BY JEWISH RETIREES (Miami) In a move that has significantly altered the political landscape of the Middle East, PLO Chairman Yassir Arafat last Saturday announced his retirement and quickly moved to Miami, Florida. Almost immediately Arafat claimed 39% of the land owned by Hillel House on the campus of The University of Miami, as well as land occupied by the Moses Mendelssohn Community Retirement Center situated in the trendy South Beach section of the city. Arafat, however, got more than he bargained for when he attempted to occupy the Retirement Center land. His military incursion was met with fierce resistance by members of the South Beach Hadassah who were meeting in the Center at the time. Reports are still sketchy, but it appears that Arafat and his forces sustained serious casualties and had to abandon their attack when elderly Hadassah members hurled Mah Jong tiles at the Palestinian terrorists. I have never seen anything like it, said Miami Police Chief Buford Rodriquez. You can't believe the lethal impact of a Mah Jongg tile thrown at 95 mph. Man, some of those grannies ought to try out for the Marlins. They'd be Cy Young contenders for sure. The European Parliament quickly denounced the Hadassah group's inflammatory use of Mah Jong tiles, and decided to schedule a debate to decide whether or not to form an exploratory group to consider a proposal to request an investigation into the matter. Under consideration is a proposal in which the Grand Duchy of Liechtenstein would send peacekeeping troops to Miami Beach to establish 'safe zones' that would be free of all Mah Jong activity. For his part, Arafat is going to appear before the General Assembly of the United Nations to urge the passing of Resolution 843, making Mah Jong a form of genocide.
