Israel-Palestine
It;'s already starting: Aide alleges Israel poisoned Arafat
2004-11-08
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat was poisoned by Israel, one of his advisers said Sunday.
(What took these bastards so long in attempting to lay blame at Israel's door for this 75 year old terrorist health problems? If Israel really wanted Mr. Ara-Terrorist dead, it could have been undertaken a long time ago.
The option is being seriously considered by the PA, which has sent blood samples to the US and Germany to confirm or rule out the option, he said. Arafat suffers symptoms similar to those of former PFLP military leader Wadi'a Hadad, he said.
How old was Wadi Hadad? Not 75 like the Camel.
Hadad was poisoned in the late 1970s by a close aide who was allegedly recruited by the Mossad, the adviser said, although the official reason for his death was cancer. "It took Hadad eight weeks to die... he also entered a coma", he said, "Unless they find an antidote, Arafat will die," he added.
I'm sure the Paleo biomedical community is working on one ...

#8  Not yet convinced that it couldn't be poisoning or that it must be AIDS. Still, how funny that they jump to the conclusion Israel would have poisoned him, when there are plenty of Palestinians who are motivated enough to do it; hell, it could even have come from some weird kind of environmental poisoning in that locked up compound, couldn't it?

#7  "Medical observers note that a low blood platelet count is a sign of a weakened immune system, and indeed last week there were reports of a complete collapse of Arafat's immune system. Other than the ruled-out cancer, the low count could be attributed to bleeding ulcers, colitis, liver disease, lupus, or HIV. It is believed that ulcers and colitis have already been ruled out."

And, yes, it's AIDS. Thanks to Yassir's taste for red-hot hyena lovin':

"I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the 'Fedayee,'" Arafat's code name, explained Munteaunu. "After the meeting with the Comrade, he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this very moment, the 'Fedayee' is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He's playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena."

Pacepa wrote: "The report was indeed an incredible account...of homosexual relationships, beginning with his teacher when he was a teen-ager and ending with his current bodyguards. After reading the report, I felt a compulsion to take a shower whenever I had been kissed by Arafat, or even just shaken his hand."

#6  I don't think Yasser's life insurance covers Acts of Mossad, Suha. Better think of something else...

#1  Who really gives a damn who poisoned him if they did? Palestians surrounding arafatwa are more likely to poison him. Just count your blessings no matter from whence they come!!!
