יום השנה ה-14 למותו של ערפאת: יועצו בסאם אבו שריף טוען כי הוא חוסל באמצעות רעל שהוחדר למשחת השיניים שלו. כל פעם שציחצח, ספג קצת.

Translation: On the 14th anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat: His adviser Bassam Abu Scharif claims that Arafat was poisoned via poison inserted into his toothpaste. Every time he brushed his teeth he absorbed a little bit more...

Compliments to the Mossad agents, I guess. I do wonder if the toothpaste in question was Colgate or Aqua Fresh, and how long it took for the toothpaste to kill him..

this isn't a chiddush, but it is being said by Arafat's own bodyguard...

PA: Jews Poisoned Arafat 'Like Prophet Mohammed

  -- INN

I was not aware that we Killed Mohammed. So we have killed Jesus, Mohammed and Arafat. Any others? Did we kill Lincoln? Kennedy? I guess we killed Rabin.. We did kill Eichmann... What about Ceasar? Any other religious leaders in whose name a religion was started? Joseph Smith?

this doesn't seem like such a surprise...

Quote Of The Day

Yasser was not a terrorist. A terrorist would have never won the Nobel Peace Prize. You know, there is a difference between a freedom fight and a terrorist. My husband was never a terrorist - he was a freedom fighter....  
Of course he had a conscience. Yasser Arafat was the conscience - he was the [Nelson] Mandela of the Arab world. The Mandela of Palestine.

 -- Suha Arafat, in an interview to CNN about her late husband, Yasser Arafat

It's Yasser Arafat's yahrtzeit. I don't know the exact date it is celebrated, as he died November 11, 2004 but I think the Arabic date fluctuates, and the rallies in his honor are taking place today.

MK Ahmed Tibi is one of the scheduled speakers at the main rally in Ramallah later today.

By law it is illegal for Israelis to enter into Palestinian Authority controlled territory deemed as Area A, which Ramallah is. Some members of Knesset, upset at Tibi going to speak at Arafat's yahrtzeit rally where he will spew anti-Israel hatred and accuse Israel of apartheid policies, have appealed to the Defense Minister to not approve Tibi's trip to Ramallah. Complaints have also been filed with the Knesset ethics committee.

MK Danny Danon, as he has said before, said that the appropriate place for Tibi is in the parliament of Ramallah, rather than in the parliament of Israel.

We shoot ourselves in the foot time and again, allowing our enemies, those looking to destroy us, to have opportunities in the name of democracy to do so from within.

In this evening's edition of the Yisraeli newspaper, there was a small piece on on an old topic.

The spokesterrorist of Hamas announced that in their raids of Gaza and the PA government offices, they have uncovered documentation and evidence that Mohammed Dahlan, the PA Chief of Security (and member of Fatah) was responsible for the death/murder of Yasser Arafat.

It did not say how Dahlan had Arafat killed.

When Arafat died, there were varying rumors as to what was the cause of death. The PA never released any real information. The PA accused Israel of being responsible for his death. There were rumors Arafat died of anything from AIDS to cancer and many other options as well..

It looks like, if Hamas can be trusted at all, the PA killed its founder. A senior member of Fatah killed the founder of Fatah.
