LGF Still Thinks Dead King Rat Was Felled By AIDS...

lgf: Arafat Death Cover-Up

At Israel Insider, a report on the death of Yasser Arafat suggests strongly that the cause was AIDS—but that the diagnosis has been covered up by French doctors: Arafat’s physician: French found AIDS; cover-up alleged on cause of death.


The release of Yasser Arafat’s pathology report has reignited a heated debate about the former PA Chairman’s cause of death. Although no sources point to a definitive conclusion, most signs — including an admission by Arafat’s doctor Ashraf al-Kurdi, that the French doctors that cared for Arafat found the virus in his blood — point to AIDS. Still, some experts maintain that he was poisoned.

Al-Kurdi’s implausible allegation that the virus was given to Arafat by Israel to disguise poisoning was rejected outright by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s office, which according to a report in Haaretz, called the accusation “nonsense”.

After Arafat died on November 11, 2004 at the military hospital in Paris, top secret copies of his pathology report were handed over to Arafat’s widow, Suha, and senior Palestinian Authority officials.

On the date of his death, IsraelInsider reported that the hospital concealed the cause of his death, with the hospital citing French privacy laws; a concealment which strengthened the suspicion that Arafat had died of AIDS.

After the French rejected requests for Arafat’s medical records, as reported by IsraelInsider, suspicions grew even stronger. So strong that Israel conducted an inquiry into the possibility of AIDS. Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that the accumulation of evidence — gathered by both intelligence and medical sources — suggested to Israel’s “intelligence branch” that such a possibility was “much more than speculation.”

Later, when IsraelInsider brought to light that the French had accepted a falsified death certificate indicating Arafat’s place of birth as Jerusalem, rather than his actual birthplace of Cairo, suspicions of a cover-up grew even stronger.

Then, when IsraelInsider reported that Arafat’s family had admitted that to publicize the medical truth would harm the Palestinians, the possibility of AIDS grew even likelier still.
According to a report in Haaretz, Arafat’s pathology report findings are finally about to be published for the first time. The conclusions will appear in the revised edition of “The Seventh War,” by Israeli journalists Amos Harel and Avi Isacharoff, and released next week by Yedioth Ahronoth in Hebrew.

Although Israeli and foreign doctors who have seen the report say the details do not lead to a definitive conclusion on what caused the death — “a discussion among a large number of medical experts... shows that it is impossible to pinpoint a cause that will explain the combination of symptoms that led to the death of the patient,” reads the report in Haaretz — several indications (besides historical evidence and al-Kurdi’s admission) suggest that he may have in fact had AIDS.

The New York Times, however, has decided to continue the cover-up: Medical Records Say Arafat Died From a Stroke; Poisoning Unlikely.

Charles. Bubby. Your a true mensch but drop the "Fats died from AIDS" premise once and for all. Please. I quite understand that absence of proof isn't proof of absence, but fair-minded speculation becomes tiresome innuendo when it is beaten about the head and shoulders 'till dead. Neither goats nor camels can become infected by, nor transmit the Human Immuno Virus. Case closed.
