Bill, formerly of Merde in France, will be soooo happy that Yasser Archbandit is on his way over to him. Speculations continue to abound about the exact nature of Arafilth's disease: I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be advanced stage AIDS (and Arafat is one of the very few people that I would actually wish this miserable fate on), but the more prosaic scenario discussed on Israeli TV, of a gallstone blocking the biliary tract, can be G-ddamned nasty as well (my mom z"l once had this), especially if it develops into bacterial cholangitis.
UPDATE: Medpundit, a practicing physician, suspects a cancer that metastatized to the liver.
UPDATE 2: Haaretz ticker:
20:17 Orthodox Jews from NY attend interfaith vigil for PA chairman Arafat outside of the hospital where he lies in a coma
I didn't know "tamut kvar, ben zona!" ("die already, SOB") was part of the Orthodox prayer service? Then again, the following is part of the Standing Prayers during weekdays, recited three times a day (my translation):
And for slanderers may there be no hope/And may all wickedness pass in an instant/May all Thy
enemies be speedily cut off/And may you speedily uproot, break, cast down, and subdues wanton evildoers, speedily in our days. Blessed are Thou L-rd, who subdues wanton evildoers.
