"For Palestine, I'd lie all the time" - Yasir Arafat

Yasir Arafat is often quoted to have said, “I am ready to kill for the sake of my cause; wouldn't I lie for it?”I couldn't find a reliable source for this quote. However, as I was looking, I did find another where Arafat freely admitted to lying.It is quoted in a 1998 biography of Arafat by Said Aburish, "Arafat : From Defender to Dictator." In Tunisia in 1987, [Arafat]...

Abbas didn't condemn Jerusalem attacks; Palestinian newspaper upset at UAE and Turkey for condemning them

It used to be that Mahmoud Abbas, like Yasir Arafat before him, would issue a pro forma condemnation of deadly terror attacks against Israel. As of this writing, he hasn't said a word against the twin Jerusalem attacks, nor the Ariel terrorist attacks. He doesn't even pretend anymore to be against terror. Earlier this year he only reluctantly condemned some attacks...

11/14 Links Pt1: Gleefully abandoning Israel; Why the Palestinians Snubbed the Israeli Left; Zelensky aide; Ukraine’s vote against Israel at UN ‘a grave mistake’

From Ian: Gleefully abandoning Israel Kasher's post was so incendiary that Facebook removed it for violating rules of decent conduct. But Kasher didn't let up. He continued to expectorate that "a Jewish people with this face is not my Jewish people, and not the Jewish people among which I wish to be counted as a son." As a result, he announced that he now prefers not to be...

Another Palestinian leader spouting antisemitism that the West will ignore

Earlier today I quoted an article by a former PFLP leader who later became a senior advisor to Yasir Arafat who claimed that rich Jews controlled US defense contractors and gave their technology to Israel for free, where somehow Israel took credit for them after threatening them....it made no sense but it is unquestionably antisemitic.Here's another antisemitic article published...

Suha Arafat's lawyer says they'll ignore French, Russian reports

From Al Jazeera: French investigators have concluded in a report that Yasser Arafat died of natural causes and ruled out the possibility that he was poisoned, a source told Al Jazeera. "The analysis cannot lead us to affirm that Arafat died of polonium 210 poisoning," reads the report, according to the source, who has seen it. The report comes to the same conclusion the...

PLO trying to keep the Arafat circus alive

Palestine Today reports: The head the commission of inquiry into the death of the late President Yasser Arafat, Major General Tawfiq Tirawi, pledged to reveal the accomplices involved the assassination of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat during an upcoming press conference, although he did not announce when this would occur. Tirawi said on his Facebook page Tuesday:...

Researcher: Swiss Arafat report cannot support its conclusions

Joods Actuel reports that a researcher has asked for more details from the Swiss institute that tested Yasir Arafat's remains for signs of polonium poisoning, but the answers place the entire report into question. Dr. Rudi Roth asked Professor François Bochud, director of the research center of the University Hospital in Lausanne (CHUV) that did the tests, why the report didn't publish the margins for error as is standard scientific practice....

Arafat circus continues as Abbas wants to go to the UN

Tawfiq Tirawi, head of the PA's "National Commission to Investigate the Assassination of President Yasser Arafat" said that there are 100 people working in the organization. It is unclear what exactly this commission does, even though Tirawi says that it employs the hundred people distributed in committees including security and medical research, investigation, and other...

PLO admits Russian Arafat report doesn't indicate polonium poisoning

From AP: Israel is the only suspect in the 2004 death of Yasser Arafat, the chief Palestinian investigator in the case alleged Friday, a day after Swiss scientists said the Palestinian leader was probably poisoned by radioactive polonium. The investigator, Tawfik Tirawi, said the probe would continue, but did not say what more the Palestinians could do to try to solve...

Arafat polonium report delivered to the PA

From Gulf News: Palestinian authorities have received the reports of Swiss and Russian forensic investigations into the 2004 death of Yasser Arafat, an official said Tuesday, without disclosing the findings. “The report was delivered” by the Swiss laboratory, said Tawfiq Tirawi, who heads the Palestinian investigation into Arafat’s death. Official Palestinian news agency...

Russian scientist says no trace of polonium on Arafat's remains

Russian news agency Interfax reports: The head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA) Vladimir Uiba believes that the cause of death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat could not be polonium poisoning. "He could not have been poisoned with polonium. Russian experts conducting a study said traces of this substance were not found," - said Uiba to "Interfax" on...

Bolonium

Over the weekend, the Lancet published an article called "Improving forensic investigation for polonium poisoning" which is being misrepresented by the media, especially Arab media. AFP reports: Swiss radiation experts have confirmed they found traces of polonium on clothing used by Yasser Arafat which "support the possibility" the veteran Palestinian leader was poisoned. In...

Whatever happened to the Arafat polonium probe?

Remember last year when Yasir Arafat's bones were dug up to see if a Swiss laboratory could determine if he died of polonium poisoning? Remember how the amount of polonium found on his underwear would have indicated an amount that would have killed a normal person in less than a day, although he was sick for weeks? Remember how the exhumation of Arafat's body was far from...

Al Jazeera insults Arafat; PalArabs seethe

From YNet: Palestinian riot police prevented dozens of angry protestors from breaking into a building where the offices of Al Jazeera TV channel are located in the center of Ramallah. The Fatah Youth movement called for a demonstration against Al Jazeera after a guest attacked the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. Ibrahim Hammami, a pro-Islamist writer and head...

J-Street student trip pays respects to Arafat

A student took a J-Street sponsored tour of Jerusalem and Ramallah - and there was nothing remotely even-handed about it. While the point of the article is about how her fellow college students were so lacking in critical thinking skills that they swallowed the lies they were given whole, one could not tell that this trip was organized by a supposedly Jewish, "pro-Israel/pro-peace" organization as opposed to an Arab propaganda outfit. And this J-Street...

Arafat's Corpse for PA President!

On November 26, the bones of Palestinian Arab terrorist leader Yasir Arafat are being dug up. Given the withering disapproval that Mahmoud Abbas has been getting for declaring that he would no longer want to live in Safed, this is an opportunity for another set of elections in the territories - and Arafat's bones should run. Why not elect the skeleton of the only...

Fatah members proud that Arafat intended to fool the world with Oslo

I was going through a Fatah Facebook page and saw someone posted a video that they said was "very important." It was a slightly edited version of a video that Palestinian Media Watch had posted long ago from a 1995 PA TV broadcast. Arafat: "When the Prophet made the peace of Hudaybiya, [Muhammad's followers] Omar Ibn al Khattab and Ali Ibn Abi Talib said: "How can we accept an agreement like that?" "How can we accept such humiliation of our...
