Arab doctors to probe allegations Arafat poisoned
AMMAN, Jordan - Nearly five years after Palestinian President Yasser Arafat died by what French doctors called a massive brain hemorrhage, | If you know what they mean and I think you do... |
Arab doctors will meet in Jordan to probe rumours Arafat was poisoned - a suspicion that has lingered years after his death.| A rumor that is now being exhumed and reanimated so it can lurch zombielike throughout the islamosphere...feeding on a zombie's usual sustenance - brains. |
Arafat's death Nov. 11, 2004 at the Mal de Mer hospital outside of Paris almost immediately spawned speculation he'd been killed by Israel who viewed him as an obstacle to concluding a peace treaty.| And here I was thinking it was Suha when she tripped and crushed his oxygen cord... |
The 75-year-old Arafat who led the Palestinian movement for almost 40 years fell violently ill in his Ramallah compound in Oct. 2004 and two weeks later was evacuated to a French hospital where he died.| Good times, good times. The vulture silently circled the 'Burg for days and days... |
At the time, French doctors bound by strict privacy rules were tightlipped on Arafat's condition, and his widow refused an autopsy. | "Just get him in the ground already! I have an appointment at Hermès in TWENTY MINUTES!" |
Causing Adding to the speculation, Palestinian leaders have never given a definitive cause of Arafat's death. | Doc Steve, I distinctly remember you saying it was heart failure. |
| Come to think of it, might have been a chicken bone ... |
Ultimately it's always heart failure, isn't it?
French doctors who treated Arafat concluded in a report later obtained by the AP that he died of a "massive brain hemorrhage" after suffering intestinal inflammation, jaundice and a blood condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC. What brought on the DIC remains unclear. The condition has numerous causes, ranging from infections to colitis to liver disease.| And sometimes, just pure, dumb luck. |
"Consultation with experts and laboratory tests could not help to find a cause that would explain ... the group of syndromes," his French doctors wrote at the time. | "Damned if we know. Or more correctly, we're damned if we tell what we know. So we don' know nuffin'!" |
The report made no mention of poisoning or another popular conspiracy theory, AIDS.| They also left out the part about Dick Cheney and his secret jinn squad and special operations efreets... |
Israel strongly denied accusations it played a role in Arafat's death. French doctors declined to comment on the speculation.| "Mais non. Now you mus' leave before we call sécurité." |
There has been no prior formal probe into Arafat's death that followed a quick deterioration of the Palestinian leader's health.| All the better to keep a proper rumor in circulation - which is why I too question the timing of the non-probe. |
Jordanian heart surgeon Abdullah al-Bashir said the meeting Thursday involving seven to eight doctors - many who treated Arafat when he fell ill in Oct. 2004 - will try to determine whether Arafat was poisoned.| Or whether whatever assurances have been granted by Hamas, Fatah, or Foreign Hand can be trusted. |
The longtime Palestinian leader battled Israel for years before signing peace treaties with the Jewish state in the 1990s. But Israel blamed him for the failure of further peace talks, and he spent the last two years of his life under his bed siege in his West Bank compound, | Misty water color memories... |
after Israel accused him of being behind a wave of suicide bombing during the second intefadeh.| Filthy infidel Zionist pigs, always so quick to call names and point fingers. |
Dr. Ashraf al-Kurdi, a Jordanian neurologist who regularly examined Arafat, fuelled speculation on the cause of death after the late Palestinian leader died. At the time, al-Kurdi said lab tests revealed Arafat had a low count of blood platelets: components that help clotting. He insisted doctors had excluded other reasons for the low blood platelets such as infection or cancer and that poison could explain the deficiency. Although "not definitive, I believe the highest reason for Arafat's mysterious death is poisoning," al-Kurdi said in 2004.| The balance of the article is yet another typical AP islamist propaganda piece: |
Adding to the speculation, Arafat's nephew, Nasser al-Qidwa, who received a copy of the French medical report on the late leader's death, said in 2004 that the lack of clear reason for his uncle's death raised suspicions Arafat died of "unnatural" causes.
Suspicion about Israel and Jews have deep roots in the Middle East where many people believe, for example, that no Jews died in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center because they were warned to stay home.
Israel has been implicated before in trying to poison Palestinian officials. In 1997, Israel tried to poison Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in Jordan. But the agents were caught, and King Hussein of Jordan forced Israel to provide the antidote in exchange for their release.
Al-Bashir said the decision to undertake the inquiry was taken last week at a meeting in Cairo to launch the Yasser Arafat Foundation.| Here's the part that's got me scratching my head. Why this, and why now? Is this a fundraising thing, or a lather-up-the-rubes-and-western-university-students thing? Or both? Are they trying to get some good ol' fashioned riots and car-b-ques in the Paris ghettos? Someone's trying to keep us from watching the hands. |
| If we had a CIA worth anything, the rumor would be that Yassar got AIDS from his friend Meshaal ... |
