Homosexual Arafat said dying of AIDS

JERUSALEM - Based on the symptoms Yasser Arafat is suffering from, as well as accounts of his rampantly homosexual past, political pundits and medical experts believe the blood-soaked Muslim terror chief is dying from complications related to the AIDS virus.
Arafat has been hospitalized outside of Paris for more than a week with blotchy skin, a low platelet count that is affecting his immune system, decreased mental capacity and a considerable loss of weight – all indicators of the presence of AIDS.
His homosexual tendencies have been attested to by numerous sources, including a now infamous set of surveillance videos taken by his former communist allies in Romania showing Arafat in perverted encounters with his bodyguards.
Though he reportedly slipped into a terminal coma last week, Arafat’s wife is said to be keeping him connected to life support long enough to gain access to the vast wealth he had horded over the years.
“Palestinian” officials in Ramallah suggested his death would be officially announced on Tuesday to coincide with the Muslim holy day of Lailat al-Kader, when, according to Islamic lore, the Koran was given to the Prophet Mohammed.
Israel has stated Arafat would not be allowed burial in Jerusalem or Judea and Samaria, but have granted tacit approval to inter the “father of modern terrorism” in the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and former premier Mahmoud Abbas work to secure their positions atop the “Palestinian” power structure by seeking unity with terror groups such as Hamas.
Arafat, however, has reportedly named openly anti-Israel PLO official Farouk Kadoumi as his successor.
All signs point to AIDS
"We know [Arafat] has a blood disease that is depressing his immune system. We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight - possibly as much as one-third of all his body weight. We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. What does this sound like?” Israel Insider quoted former White House speechwriter David Frum as asking.
Writing for National Review Online, Frum blasted the mainstream media for their “bias” in refusing to question whether or not Arafat was infected with the killer disease.
Frum is only the latest of a growing number of political pundits and medical experts that have speculated Arafat is dying from the AIDS virus.
Intelligence analyst John Loftus told ABC News last month that the CIA had known for years Arafat was infected with AIDS, and it was largely due to this fact Washington had urged Israel not to eliminate him.
“It was deemed better to have Arafat discredited as a homosexual,” Loftus said.
Israel Insider notes that while “homosexuality is rife in the Arab world, it is at least officially consider a sin and a crime, and regarded - especially in fundamentalist circles - as a mark of great shame and depravity.”
Roaring tiger
Allegations regarding Arafat’s homosexuality have been fueled primarily by evidence provided by his former communist allies in Romania.
During the 1970’s and 1980’s, Arafat was a regular in Nicolae Ceausescu’s Bucharest, where Romanian intelligence and its KGB overlords were providing the PLO with the means to gain legitimacy in the West.
Little did Arafat know that Lt.-Gen. Ion Pacepa, the deputy chief of Romania's intelligence service, had rigged his guest suites with surveillance equipment.
In his book “Red Horizons”, Pacepa unveils Arafat as an insatiable homosexual by recalling a telephone conversation with Constantin Munteaunu, a general assigned to the PLO.
"I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the 'Fedayee,'" Arafat's code name, explained Munteaunu. "After the meeting with the Comrade, he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this very moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He's playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena."
Pacepa wrote that after reading the full intelligence reports, “I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever I had been kissed by Arafat, or even just shaken his hand."
Where’s the money?
For days Arafat has reportedly been hooked to life support machines, after suffering a full collapse of all vital organs.
His wife, Suha, is said to be in control of when the plug is pulled.
But before doing that, Suha and top PA officials hope to gain access to the vast hordes of money to which Arafat alone had access for the past 30 years.
It was on the strength of these finances and his sole control over them that Arafat maintained his position.
According to reports, Arafat has as much as $5 billion stashed away in Swiss bank accounts. Most of it came from the PLO’s long years of drug trafficking in Lebanon, but much was also pilfered from international aid meant to help the “Palestinians” establish a state.
“It is amazing that some US officials still see the Palestinian Authority as a partner even after US congressional records revealed authenticated PLO papers signed by Arafat in which he instructed his staff to divert donors' money to projects benefiting himself, his family and his associates,” Issam Abu Issa, founder of the Palestine International Bank, said in a report for Middle East Quarterly.
When asked by Qureia and Abbas last week as he boarded a Jordanian military helicopter in Ramallah how to access the funds needed to keep the PA functioning, Arafat simply replied, “I'm still alive, thank God, so don't worry.”
Postponed death announcement
An official announcement regarding Arafat’s death has also reportedly been postponed until Qureia and Abbas have are able to secure their positions atop the “Palestinian” power structure.
Over the weekend, Qureia met with representatives from Hamas and other terrorist organizations in order to persuade them to join the Palestinian Authority under his leadership.
Hamas instead demanded the formation of a power sharing government in which it would retain its independent status. Qureia rejected the idea.
One official source in Ramallah suggested Arafat’s death would be announced on Tuesday, to coincide with the Muslim holy day of Lailat al-Kader, when, according to Islamic lore, the Koran was given to the Prophet Mohammed.
Burial site battle lines
Whenever Arafat’s death does become official, the first point of contention that is to mark a tumultuous aftermath to his death will likely be over his burial site.
Israel says it is ready to let Arafat be interred in the Gaza Strip, but that Jerusalem and even Judea and Samaria are off limits.
Prior to his death, Arafat had expressed a desire to be buried atop Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. “Palestinian” officials are expected to demand Israel acquiesce to this wish.
Israeli Justice Minister Yosef Lapid told the Associated Press last Friday that “Jerusalem is the city where Jewish kings are buried, not Arab terrorists.”
