    It's been known for some time now among parts of the Israeli public that Arafat was bisexual, and now rumors are spreading over the net and on some newspapers that Arafat may have died of the AIDS virus. The French Government will not release the reasons for his death or condition. It is to be kept a family secret. It does not take an expert to figure out what killed this man. The indications over the weeks were that his immune system was defective and that he suffered from some kind of virus. All the symptoms pointed to Aids (HIV). This is the only disease that disgraces and humiliates a person, and the only one that someone would want kept secret. Now stories are[^] appearing[^] that suggest his illness is being kept under wraps to preserve his apparent good standing in the world community. One Whitehouse rep is quoted as saying, "We know he 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?" It'll be interesting to see if the French government will continue to supress the truth and keep it a secret.

    Any remotely useful information on my blog will be removed immediately.

    The man is dead. What difference could the cause of his death possibly make in the grand scheme of things? Would it not be better to let his family preserve whatever dignity they can, and simply move on. Is there any benefit to using his death to sow more seeds of hatred? Weren't enough sown during his life? Why would anyone waste time arguing with an accountant about anything? Their sole function is to record what happenned, and any higher aspirations are mere delusions of grandeur. On the ladder of productive contributions they are the little rubber pads at the bottom that keep the thing from sliding out from under you. - Roger Wright

        If it truely doesn't matter as you say, why are the Palestinians and the French government concealing it? I mean, if the head of my government died, I'd like to know the cause, wouldn't you?

          True. I'm not buying the AIDS story just yet, too little is known about his death. I'll just say for now that it's rather odd the French government is concealing the cause of death.

              Some Arab leaders have also suggested Thallium poisoning. Keeping in mind France's stance on the Israeli/Palestinian situation, I think if it was poisoning or radioactive exposure (i.e. if the Israeli's were trying to kill him), I think France would be shouting loudly about the injustices of the Israeli government & military. Instead, they seem awfully quiet about the disease that killed him...

If true his devotees will not believe it, and if false, his detractors will not believe it. It only serves to cloud other possibilities. Hmmmm? Otoh, if he did die of radioactive poisoning I would hope folks take notice. Best, Jerry

                      I'm never one to argue that concealing the truth is a good thing, even in death. Do you disagree?

                        Hmm... Judah. Not a muslim name. Could there be a personal agenda here ? I have just been looking at the recent pictures of him on news sits and you are quite wrong. The major symptom of AIDS is extreme weight loss. I know this because I watched it kill a friend over five years. Arafat showed no weight loss whatsoever. Now go away and hang your head in shame at such tactics. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Seriously though and in all honestly, I am admittedly biased here and glad to hear that this one-man show is finally over. On that same note of honesty, I am also curious to know if the rumors are true. You said no weightloss, however, if you read one of the articles I linked to in my original post, Whitehouse speech writer David Frum is quoted as saying Arafat lost as much as 1/3 his body weight before his death. I've seen a few pictures of him in the hospital and he does look much thinner. That said, I'm not subscribing to the AIDS theory just yet, there are too few facts known to make an informed decision. I just hope the truth will come out about his death, whether it be radiation exposure, AIDS, cancer, thallium, whatever the records show.

                                Interesting, French law may be similar. But in all honestly, when was the last time the cause of death of a world leader was concealed by a government? That in itself seems suspicious, even if there are laws in place to give patient confidentiality.

                                  If the laws are the same then if someone in the French government does know and knowingly releases the information after the family has requested that the information be witheld then they would be breaking the law and the government would probably be sued as well. pseudonym67 My Articles[^] "They say there are strangers who threaten us, In our immigrants and infidels.

                                        It's been known for some time now among parts of the Israeli public that Arafat was bisexual, and now rumors are spreading over the net and on some newspapers that Arafat may have died of the AIDS virus. The French Government will not release the reasons for his death or condition. It is to be kept a family secret. It does not take an expert to figure out what killed this man. The indications over the weeks were that his immune system was defective and that he suffered from some kind of virus. All the symptoms pointed to Aids (HIV). This is the only disease that disgraces and humiliates a person, and the only one that someone would want kept secret. Now stories are[^] appearing[^] that suggest his illness is being kept under wraps to preserve his apparent good standing in the world community. One Whitehouse rep is quoted as saying, "We know he 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?" It'll be interesting to see if the French government will continue to supress the truth and keep it a secret.

                                          Who is this "Arafat"? Is he someone important?
