It's goofy watching you make a fool of yourself trying to 'participate' with these vague link dumps- many nearly identical, and as I said, canned posts.
It's like you have only 8 posts- (and accompanying 20 links) with maybe 2 or 3 variants, and you copy them anywhere and everywhere.
Yes it is amazing how often you refer to the same topics that have been refuted many times in UN documents. Your postings then need to be refuted again and again with virtually the same pieces. I can only put it down to you not reading the links posted.

Something one would never even know, you didn't, from all your Jerkoff arabist/anti-semite Links you use.
Oh it was so complex according to you! Oh even his family and friends didn't know! OH no!

Amazing, Truly amazing the classic "Planet Chomsky"- "You get to choose your own reality".. and have.
10 years it's been settled and you are telling us all this arab-line *beep**T blaming what is the truth on "Isreali Cliques"!
Oh goofy how can you expect to be taken serioulsy!?!?
But then you seem to have an aversion to Books and UN Document, preferring Israeli Fiction.

Actually it’s from a book Abu. “Arafat In the eyes of the Beholder” by Janet Wallach and John Wallach. Foreword by Shimon Peres. 1997. Gosh it’s another first printing of the revised edition I’ve got. PS they worked on the book for 5 years and speak from a pro Israeli stand point, which seems like a good place to start? A bit more clued up than a 5 minute Google search.

Preface to First edition xvi

Over the years, there has been much misinformation purveyed about Yasser Arafat, some of which he encourages to maintain the aura of mystery about his roots and some of which is deliberately engendered by those who want to destroy his credibility. We tried [Janet Wallach and John Wallach], as much as possible, to ignore hearsay, the disinformation and the malicious gossip, most of it bred in ignorance or sheer hatred. Wherever we [Janet Wallach and John Wallach] went, of course, we heard conflicting and often contradictory stories about Yasser Arafat.

His origins, for example, are emblematic of the ambiguity that is Arafat. He passionately contends that he was born in Jerusalem and therefore Palestinian by birth; others claim with equal assurance he was born in Cairo or Gaza. An Egyptian birth certificate exists, and it seems to support such claims. However, we [Janet Wallach and John Wallach] found virtually no one in his family who believed he [Yasser Arafat] was born in Egypt. We [Janet Wallach and John Wallach] suggest an answer to the riddle of Arafat’s birth: that he was, as he claims born in Jerusalem, but in circumstances that still deeply embarrass him, circumstances of which he [Yasser Arafat] has never spoken openly because they involve the marital problems of his parents. A close relative even suggests that the birth certificate was a forgery, manufactured to help win Arafat the free university admission to which all Egyptians were entitled.
Page 61.

It was Zahwa Abu Saud, Arafats mother, who was his first source of grief. Her death, when he was four, caused his father to send him from Cairo to Jerusalem.

So whatever you say he still came back to Jerusalem to live with his mothers’ family. Maternally he is still Palestinian. Or don’t you accept maternal parentage for proof of linage.

What does Simon Peres say about Yasser Arafat:-

Quote:
“You [Yasser Arafat] have now decided to make historical change. It is true that many citizen you [Yasser Arafat]. Some of your people are even out to get you. But consider this: you are the very first Palestinian in history who has already given his people a territorial address, administrative authority, the taste of freedom and hope for the future. In a single year, you [Yasser Arafat] have achieved what others have failed to do in a century.”
Tel-Aviv December 23rd 1996

Peres even refers’ to Yasser Arafat as Palestinian. In conclusion you are trying to put the clock back on a spurious point that is immaterial.
