On the anniversary of the death of the biggest mass-murderer of Jews since Adolf Hitler, his successor is promising to move Yasser Arafat’s remains to Jerusalem.
President Mahmoud Abbas has pledged to continue to work for the transfer of the body of the late President Yasser Arafat to Jerusalem.
The President made his promise during the inauguration of a mausoleum dedicated to the late president in the government’s headquarters in Ramallah. November 11 marks the third anniversary of the death of the Palestinian leader.
Abbas laid a wreath near Arafat’s tomb as a band played memorial songs.
The shrine is designed to allow its future transfer to Arafat’s desired final resting place in Jerusalem.
Mahmoud Shtayeh, head of the Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction, who supervised the building process of the shrine, insisted that the late president will be buried in Jerusalem.
This is why Israel must never give up control of the Temple Mount. You may have forgotten, but I have not, that the Palestinians requested that Arafat be buried on the Temple Mount. That murderer’s remains would desecrate our holiest site, and I would not be surprised to see the earth open up and swallow the entire complex whole. And frankly, if Israeli authorities were to let this happen, well, we’d deserve to lose the Wall.
And Arafat’s yartzheit is celebrated in the most appropriate way possible.
Haven’t you seen PA Spokesliar Saeb Erekat announced that the Palestinian’s won’t recognize a “Jewish Israel”?

The mask officially comes off and nobody notices????
I think that the chief rabbis should declare that burial of a known homosexual like Arafat would be an abomination of the Temple Mount. This would throw the issue of Arafat’s behavior into the face of the Waqf, and they would have to make a pronouncement upon it.

I enjoy the irony: in five hundred years the only people who will remember Arafat are Jews. There won’t be any Palestinian people per se, assuming for the sake of argument that there are now, and the Arabs will have long since forgotten him.
His name will live on, if only in odium, because he picked on people with an especially long memory.
