Arafat Haunts Us From The Grave
By Micah Halpern

Friday September 9, 2005

I've Been Thinking:

Yassir Arafat continues to haunt Israel, even from his grave.

Arafat's death read like a murder mystery. Was he poisoned? Did he have AIDS? Did Israel do it? Was it an intricate plan formulated by the Shin Bet?

Now, nearly a year later, the final chapter in the life and death of Yassir Arafat has been written. A physician's health report has been secretly released. The mystery is over. The doctor confirms that - it was all pure paranoia, speculation, a desire to blame Israel.
Arafat died of a massive brain hemorrhage.

Yes, Arafat had AIDS. Yes, Arafat suffered a bad case of food poisoning shortly before his death causing incontrollable and constant vomiting and diarrhea. Yes, Arafat led a decades long life of decadence. But none of that killed him, and neither did Israel.

Those who want to blame Israel already have and always will.
Nasser al Kidwa, the Palestinian Authority foreign minister and former PA Ambassador to the United Nations and a nephew of Yassir Arafat calls the report inconclusive. It was Kidwa who was shouting that Israel had poisoned Arafat.

Expect a sequel.
