Did they also say which venereal disease he died from?

I think it's highly mysterious that a key political figure dies and nobody knows the cause of death. And nobody even brings it up. Something's fishy.

Businessmen in El Salvador have sparked a diplomatic row with Israel after renaming a city square in honour of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

In san salvador?!?! and israel is protesting??? and then they talk about fyrom

I knew Israel's friendship with El Savador would stop sooner or later.

Given the help that Israel gave to the right wing military dictatorships of Central America (in spite of their blatent anti-Semitisim and respect of Hitler), I would expect more snubs in the face to Israel from the newly emerging demcoracies, along the lines of the anti-CIA mural in the Equadoran congress.

Last year, the same businessmen dedicated Palestine Square in the city, and unveiled a map that placed Israel inside a larger country of Palestine.

[MarkG]

do we have a copy of that map?

[Az]

It's near the map of greater turkey.

[MarkG]

are you implying that turkey wants a great palestinian country?

It already had the same land at one time. You know, back at the time when it had it's western lands.

[MarkG]

I dont give a damn what statues they put up. Richmond, Virginia has a statue to Jeff Davis. This doesnt bother me any more than that one does. The Israeli ambassador should focus on trade opportunities, instead.
