Post Mortem

posted by on July 18 at 16:54 PM

There were a number of conspiracy theories surrounding Yasser Arafat’s death, but as Israel Today reports:

A leading Palestinian “resistance” figure has confirmed what many suspected all along: Yasser Arafat died of AIDS.

Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!

And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)

Well I'm gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There's a hero inside of all of us
I'll make them see everyone has AIDS

My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades

Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog 'ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20

This was obvious from the start! All this 'mysterious
illness' crap. A rotten pimple on the wart-covered ass of history.

Is "Israel Today" the most objective source about a Palestinian leader's death?

Oh, Ariel Sharon probably liked it in the bottom as well.

Yes. Because nothing says "liked it in the bottom" like AIDS. If I believed in god I'd be filing a bug report re: faulty logic right about now.

#3 if you read the story Al-Manar TV is the original source of the information quoted in the story. Al-Manar depending who you talk to is either a terrorist supporting media outlet,the true voice of the Palestinian people or somewhere in between. A source likely to be hostile to Israel and its interests.

I suppose that there may be a few people around who didn't know that not only was Arafat gay, and his marriage at age 61 arranged for political purposes, but it was very well known among Middle-East insiders. Personally I hope the photos never hit the Internet...

So the zionists are feeding inaccurate and inflammatory stories into the media?

Naw, I don't believe it.
