Yasser Arafat
A 9 month investigation has revealed that Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was likely poisoned with a radioactive element in 2004, causing his death.
Levels of Polonium found on some of Arafat’s personal effects registered “more than 20 times the dose to kill an average human being,” Al Jazeera reports. The same element killed Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006.
Al Jazeera initiated the investigation. The tests were carried out at The Institute de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland.
More importantly, tests reveal that Arafat’s final personal belongings – his clothes, his toothbrush, even his iconic kaffiyeh – contained abnormal levels of polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element. Those personal effects, which were analyzed at the Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland, were variously stained with Arafat’s blood, sweat, saliva and urine. The tests carried out on those samples suggested that there was a high level of polonium inside his body when he died.
“I can confirm to you that we measured an unexplained, elevated amount of unsupported polonium-210 in the belongings of Mr. Arafat that contained stains of biological fluids,” said Dr. Francois Bochud, the director of the institute.
……
[P]olonium’s most famous victim was Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian spy-turned-dissident who died in London in 2006 after a lingering illness…..Litvinenko suffered severe diarrhea, weight loss, and vomiting, all of which were symptoms Arafat exhibited in the days and weeks after he initially fell ill.
The French hospital that treated Arafat has all the data about his illness and death
afai knew they refused to release the information on the grounds of respect to privacy
of his family (ie his wife Suha) that refused to release the information to the public.
So this is all very interesting.
I wonder why they are stirring this now.
The list of everyone murdered by the Ziobots is a very long one. Lord Moyne, Falke Bernadotte, Ghassan Kanafani, Arafat, Abu Jihad, countless Lebanese civilians, Sheikh Yassin, thousands of Egyptian soldiers and on and on.
The funny thing is that violence hasn’t worked for them . They could have had a stable state by now but they don’t. And soon they will lose it.
Zionism is vicious.
It is just past 11:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time and NPR has yet to mention this in their hourly news, though they had a moment to mention what happens when Palestininian refugees in Syria attempt to enter Jordan. For a media so disproportionately Jewish, this is a tough story — Do they think it will dissappear?

From Uri Avnery:
On the way back from Arafat’s funeral in 2004, I ran into Jamal Zahalka, a member of the Israeli Knesset. I asked him if he believed that Arafat was murdered. Zahalka, a doctor of pharmacology, answered “Yes!” without hesitation. That was my feeling too. But a hunch is not proof. It is only a product of intuition, common sense and experience.
Recently we got a kind of confirmation. Just before he died last month, Uri Dan, Ariel Sharon’s loyal mouthpiece for almost 50 years, published a book in France. It includes a report of a conversation Sharon told him about, with President Bush. Sharon asked for permission to kill Arafat and Bush gave it to him, with the proviso that it must be done undetectably. When Dan asked Sharon whether it had been carried out, Sharon answered: “It’s better not to talk about that.” Dan took this as confirmation.
