In death as in life
The lying and bloodletting that characterized Arafat's life continue with his death. Arafat's funeral degenerated into a chaotic bloody event with many injuries. And the French——who else?——contributed to the lies embedded in his life by erroneously listing Arafat's birthplace as Jerusalem on his death certificate.
The facts: Jerusalem is irrelevant to Arafat, Arafat is irrelevant to Jerusalem; he was born in Cairo and was buried facing Mecca.
