Reportedly, The New York Times carried an article on the subject Sunday. I have not seen or read it.
It is strange that the French refused to announce what the illness was or why Arafat had to be treated in France or why the cause of death did not appear on the death certificate.
There are plenty of rumors that Arafat was homosexual.
Oh please stop this. To try and bring discredit on a person, even Arafat, is like bringing false testimony, it is not in agreement with God's commandments.
If you have no clue of the cause of death, why speculate on what these causes might be?
Arafat was 75 years old, to die at that age of anything should not be a surprise. He was treated in a French hospital because France was the only country trusted to ensure his personal security, which is why he went to Percy Hospital (a military hospital) rather than the American Hospital (where celebrities usually go).
The French did not release details because it is against the law to discuss private medical details in public.
You speculate about AIDS and try to imply that Arafat would be a homosexual. You should be ashamed to accuse somebody you don't know of something you have no real clue about.
Think for a minute about ARafat's daughter. Do you have a daughter? Would she like her father to be accused of being a homosexual?
This is a disgrace for a Christian to have sunk so low.
