As noted earlier, Yasser Arafat's ungrateful "children" looted his home in Gaza, stripping it of the very tiles on the walls. But wait, there's more! They also stole the Nobel Peace Prize medal that the suckers in the West eminent Nobel committee bestowed upon him despite his track record of murder and mayhem.
Enraged Fatah leaders on Saturday accused Hamas militiamen of looting the home of former Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat in Gaza City.
"They stole almost everything inside the house, including Arafat's Nobel Peace Prize medal," said Ramallah-based Fatah spokesman Ahmed Abdel Rahman. "Hamas militiamen and gangsters blew up the main entrance to the house before storming it. They stole many of Arafat's documents and files, gifts he had received from world leaders and even his military outfits."
Abdel Rahman said the attackers also raided the second floor of the house and stole the personal belongings of his widow, Suha, and daughter, Zahwa. "They stole all the widow's clothes and shoes," he added. "They also took Arafat's pictures with his daughter."
Eyewitnesses told The Jerusalem Post that dozens of Palestinians participated in the raid, which took place late Friday.
"Most of the looters were just ordinary citizens," they said. "They stole almost everything, including furniture, tiles, water pipes, closets and beds."
According to the Fatah spokesman, the raid on Arafat's house, which has been empty since 2001, occurred despite promises from Syria-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to prevent such an attack.
Yeah, Hamas is always to be taken at their word. Which is why, despite their media-trumpeted "amnesty" for Fatah leaders, they are trying to keep their hostages guests in country. Wretchard at the Belmont Club isn't exactly thrilled with the Palestinian behavior right now. But they bring this down on themselves with the behavior that Arafat encouraged.
