Arafat died of AIDS, confirms Palestinian leader

Arafat died of AIDS, confirms Palestinian leader

A leading Palestinian “resistance” figure has confirmed what many suspected all along: Yasser Arafat died of AIDS.

In an interview with Hizballah's Al-Manar TV earlier this month, Ahmad Jibril, founder and leader of the Damascus-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, revealed a shocking conversation he recently had with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and his staff.

Said Jibril: “When [Abbas] came to Damascus with his team, I asked them: 'What happened to the investigation into the death of [Arafat]? Is it conceivable that when [former Lebanese prime minister] Rafiq Hariri was killed, all hell broke loose, but the death of Yasser Arafat, is not investigate?”

Jibril, like many Palestinians, readily accepted the notion that Israel had assassinated Arafat, and wanted the Palestinian Authority to conduct an official investigation concluding as much. The response from Abbas' aides changed in an instant Jibril's view of his deceased mentor.

“They were silent, and then one of them said to me: 'To be honest, the French gave us the medical report, that stated that the cause of [Arafat's] death was AIDS.'”

Arafat eventually died in a Paris hospital after being airlifted out of Ramallah. Many speculated that the Palestinian leader, who was said to have had numerous homosexual relationships, had in fact contracted AIDS.

A clearly angered Jibril said that Abbas and every other member of Arafat's Fatah faction “should be happy that we got rid of the plague, which had been imposed upon them and upon the Palestinian people. The Fatah movement now has an opportunity to renew itself.”

Ndugu SCHMIDT Hakuna uhakika kama kweli Mzee Arafat alikufa kwa AIDS ni uongo ötupu waliozua wazungu hebu soma hapa chini kifo chake na maradhi yake ARAFAT
Illness and death

First reports of Arafat's treatment by his doctors for what his spokesman said was the "[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza"]flu[/ame]" came on 25 October 2004, after he vomited during a meeting. His condition deteriorated in the following days.[98] Following visits by other doctors, including teams from Tunisia, Jordan, and Egypt—and agreement by Israel not to block his return—Arafat was taken on a French government jet to the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_military_hospital"]Percy military hospital[/ame] in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamart"]Clamart[/ame], a suburb of Paris.[99] According to one of his doctors, Arafat was suffering from [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_thrombocytopenic_purpura"]Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura[/ame] (ITP), an immunologically-mediated decrease in the number of circulating platelets to abnormally low levels.[98] On 3 November, he lapsed into a gradually deepening coma. In the ensuing days, Arafat's health was the subject of some speculation, with suspicion that he was suffering from [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison"]poisoning[/ame] or [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS"]AIDS[/ame].[100] Various sources speculated that Arafat was [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comatose"]comatose[/ame], in a "vegetative state" or dead, however, Palestinian authorities and Arafat's Jordanian doctor denied reports that Arafat was brain dead and had been kept on life support.[101]
A controversy erupted between officials of the PNA and Suha Arafat when officials from the PNA traveled to France to see Yasser Arafat. Suha stated "They are trying to bury Abu Ammar [Arafat] alive".[102] [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_France"]French law[/ame] forbids physicians from discussing the condition of their patients with anybody with the exception, in case of grave prognosis, of close relatives.[103] Accordingly, all communications concerning Arafat's health had to be authorized by his wife. Palestinian officials expressed regret that the news about Yasser Arafat was "filtered" by her.[104]
The next day, chief surgeon Christian Estripeau of Percy reported that Arafat's condition had worsened, and that he had fallen into a deeper coma.[105] [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh_Taissir_Tamimi"]Sheikh Taissir Tamimi[/ame], the head of the Islamic court of the Palestinian territories—who held a vigil at Arafat's bedside—visited Arafat and declared that it was out of the question to disconnect him from life support since, according to him, such an action is prohibited in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam"]Islam[/ame].[78]
Arafat was pronounced dead at 3:30 am [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time"]UTC[/ame] on 11 November at the age of 75. The exact cause of his illness is unknown. Tamimi described it as "a very painful scene."[78] When Arafat's death was announced, the Palestinian people went into a state of mourning, with Qur'anic mourning prayers emitted from mosque loudspeakers and tires burning in the street. One obituary at Socialist World

said: "Many Palestinians will view the death of Yasser Arafat with a mixture of sadness and a wish that the Palestinian Authority he led, had done much more to end the poverty and oppression that blights their lives".[106] The Canard Enchaîné newspaper reported alleged leaks of information by unnamed medical sources at Percy hospital who had access to Arafat and his medical file. According to the newspaper, the doctors at Percy hospital suspected, from Arafat's arrival, grave lesions of the liver responsible for an alteration of the composition of the blood; Arafat was therefore placed in a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematology"]hematology[/ame] service. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukemia"]Leukemia[/ame] was "soundly ruled out". According to the same source, the reason why this diagnosis of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrhosis"]cirrhosis[/ame] could not be made available was that, in the mind of the general public, cirrhosis is generally associated with the consequences of alcohol abuse. Even though the diagnosis was not of an alcoholic cirrhosis and Arafat was not known for consuming any alcohol, there was a likelihood of rumors. The source explained that Arafat's living conditions did little to improve the situation. Thus, according to the source, the probable causes of the disease were multiple; Arafat's coma was a consequence of the worsened cirrhosis. The French newspaper [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Monde"]Le Monde[/ame] quoted doctors as saying that he suffered from "an unusual blood disease and a liver problem".[107]
After Arafat's death, the French Ministry of Defense said that Arafat's medical file would be transmitted to only his [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_of_kin"]next of kin[/ame]. It was determined that Arafat's nephew and PNA envoy to the UN, Nasser al-Qudwa, was a close enough relative, thus working around Suha Arafat's silence on her husband's illness. Nasser al-Qudwa was given a copy of Arafat's 558-page medical file by the French Ministry of Defense.[108]
[edit] Rumours about cause of death

[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassam_Abu_Sharif"]Bassam Abu Sharif[/ame], Arafat's former advisor, claimed that the Mossad poisoned Arafat through his medications.[109] Another "senior Israeli physician" claimed in the article in Haaretz that it was "a classic case of food poisoning", probably caused by a meal eaten four hours before he fell ill that may have contained a toxin such as [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricin"]ricin[/ame], rather than a standard bacterial poisoning. However, in the same week as the report in Haaretz, The New York Times published a separate report, also based on access to Arafat's medical records, which claimed that it was highly unlikely that Arafat had [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodborne_illness"]food poisoning[/ame].[110][111] Both publications further speculated that the cause of death may have been an infection of an unknown nature or origin. However, rumors of Arafat's poisoning have remained popular around the world, and especially among the Arab populace. Al-Kurdi lamented the fact that Arafat's widow Suha had refused an autopsy, which would have answered many questions regarding cause of death.[112][113] In 2005, al-Kurdi called for the creation of an independent commission to carry out investigations concerning Arafat's suspicious death, stating, "any doctor would tell you that these are the symptoms of a poisoning".[112][114]
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Assembly_of_France"]Paris deputy[/ame] Claude Goasguen asked for a parliamentary inquiry commission on the death of Arafat in an attempt to quell rumors. The French government insisted that there was no evidence Arafat had been poisoned; otherwise, a criminal investigation would have necessarily been opened.[115]
In September 2005, the Israeli newspaper [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaretz"]Haaretz[/ame] reported that French experts could not determine the cause of Arafat's death. The paper quoted an Israeli AIDS expert who claimed that Arafat bore all the symptoms of AIDS, a hypothesis later rejected by [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times"]The New York Times[/ame].[110] Ashraf al-Kurdi, a personal physician of Arafat for twenty years who had also treated the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kings_of_Jordan"]Hashemite kings of Jordan[/ame], later declared that nothing in Arafat's medical report mentioned the existence of such an infection.[112]
[edit] Aftermath

[edit] Funeral


Arafat's "temporary" tomb in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramallah"]Ramallah[/ame], 2004


On 11 November, the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_France"]French military[/ame] [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_Guard"]Honor Guard[/ame] held a funeral for Arafat at a military airport near Paris.[116] President [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Chirac"]Jacques Chirac[/ame] stood alone beside Arafat's body for about ten minutes in a last show of respect for a leader he hailed as, "a man of courage".[117] The next day, Arafat was flown to Egypt's capital Cairo for another brief [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_funeral"]military funeral[/ame] there, before his burial in Ramallah, later that day. The funeral was attended by several heads of states, prime ministers and foreign ministers.[118] Egypt's top Muslim cleric [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Sayyid_Tantawy"]Sayed Tantawi[/ame] led mourning prayers preceding the funeral procession.[99]

Honour guard at attention over Yasser Arafat's [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombstone"]tombstone[/ame] in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum"]mausoleum[/ame], opened 10 November, 2007 at the PNA Presidential headquarters in Ramallah


Israel refused Arafat's wish to be buried near the al-Aqsa Mosque or anywhere in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem"]Jerusalem[/ame], citing widespread security concerns.[119] Following his Cairo procession, Arafat was "temporarily" laid to rest within his [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukataa"]former headquarters[/ame] in Ramallah; tens of thousands of Palestinians attended the ceremony.[99] Also attending were at least one Jewish peace advocate and a Christian minister.[120] After [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh_Taissir_Tamimi"]Sheikh Taissir Tamimi[/ame] discovered that Arafat was buried improperly and in a coffin–which is not in accordance with [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_law"]Islamic law[/ame]–Arafat was reburied on the morning of November 13, at around 3:00 am.[121] On November 10, 2007, prior to the third anniversary of Arafat's death, Abbas unveiled a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum"]mausoleum[/ame] for Arafat near his temporary tomb in commemoration of him.[122]
[edit] Successor

Upon Arafat's death, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_of_the_Palestinian_Legislative_Council"]PLC Speaker[/ame] [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawhi_Fattouh"]Rawhi Fattouh[/ame] succeeded Arafat as interim President of the PNA. PLO Secretary-General [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Abbas"]Mahmoud Abbas[/ame] was selected Chairman of the PLO, and [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farouk_Kaddoumi"]Farouk Kaddoumi[/ame] became head of Fatah.[123] The PNA and the leadership of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_refugee_camps"]Palestinian refugee camps[/ame] in Lebanon declared forty days of mourning for Arafat.[99] Abbas won the January 2005 presidential election by a comfortable margin, solidifying himself as the successor to Arafat as leader of the Palestinians.

I googled about dude after reading this and found out Arafat was long understood to be on the DL. Dude was known to "roar like a tiger" while laying pipe on his own commandos.
 
Hata hivyo kwa kipindi cha mwisho mwisho cha maisha yake walimyanyasa sana Arafat na jengo alilokuwemo lilikuwa isolated,no water no nothing,alibakia kwenye chumba kimoja tu kwa muda mrefu sana kabla hajaanza kudhoofu na kubidi kukubaliwa akatibiwe or something,nakumbuka sana nilikuwa nikifuatilia sana kwene tv kipindi hicho,alibakia yeye tu na wapambe kadhaa wa karibu na bastola yake hapo mezani,umeme hakuna,mazingira aliyokuwa akiishi ni very possible kuwa poisoned kama wangetaka,maji chakula nk alikuwa akipelekewa kwa masharti,na haya yalikuwa maisha yake ya kawaida kwa muda mrefu kwani Ariel Sharon alikuwa mkorofi sana na alikusudia kumwodoa moja kwa moja baada ya kumkosakosa wakati wa vita ya lebanono miaka ya themanini,muisraeli anaweza kumfanyia mpalestina kitu chochote kile mahali popote pale anapotaka ndani ya ukanda wa gaza na west bank yote kwasababu wako very close to each other,hata mara nyingine mtu kutoka Palestina territories anakwenda kumsalimu mjomba ama ndugu na inabidi avuke vizuizi vya maeneo ya waisraeli,sometimes hata kazini,hospital nk.
 
This is old story. Haikuwa siri kuwa blockade ilikuwa na lengo la kumdhoofisha kiafya, haikuwa siri kuwa alikuwa anenda Romania na Egypt na kuviingilia kimwili vivulana, cospiracy iliyopo kuhusu kifo chake ni kwamba Mossad walimlengeshea mtu aliye HIV positive.

Suha, na hata mkewe walijua hilo, ndio maana walifanya kila liwezekanalo kupata mifedha kabla hajaaga.

Lakini this does not mean anything, wangapi hapa kwetu wako madarakani wako +, wangapi hapa JF tuko +, does being + make you mentally ill?
 
Kwa kusoma thread hapa nime gundua kuna conspiracy theory tatu na kila mmoja anaye toamadai yake anasema kwa kuamini yeye yupo sahihi.

1.Arafat aliyekufa 2004 siyo Arafat wa kweli bali puppet wa Israel. Alinyeshwa sumu na Israel baada ya wenyewe kumchoka.

2. Arafat alinyweshwa sumu na Waisrael. Hapa hakuna madai ya kwamba aliye kufa si Arafat original

3. Arafat alikua ana mtindo wa kufanya mapenzi na wavulana aka tegeshewa mwenye mvulana mwenye HIV na Israel.

Hizo theory zote tatu zime tolewa na members kadhaa humu JF. Sasa kila mmoja ana jiona yupo sahihi nani ana sema ukweli? Mimi naona kukiwa na cospiracy theory nyingi hivi basi kuna baadhi zitakua tu uzushi. Mh haya ngoja tuone zingine zitakazo jitokeza.

Once again, the rumor that Yasser Arafat was gay is making headlines. In July, Ahmad Jabril, the secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, the Marxist Palestinian resistance movement based in Damascus, Syria, told Al-Manar television what had long been known in diplomatic circles: that Arafat died of AIDS. “'To be honest, the French gave us the medical report, that stated that the cause of Abu Ammar’s death was AIDS.' I am not saying this—they did,” Jabril quotes officials from Fatah, Arafat’s political fiefdom.


That Arafat died of AIDS does not necessarily mean that he was homosexual. The prevalence of AIDS among heterosexuals in Africa destroys the perception that AIDS is a “gay disease.” But considering the decades-long rumors that have been circulating about Arafat’s homosexuality, most notably publicized in the memoirs of Ion Mihai Pacpea (the former head of Romanian intelligence and the highest-ranking intelligence officer to have defected from the Soviet Union), that Arafat potentially died of AIDS is but more evidence for what many have long suspected about the late Palestinian nationalist leader’s sexuality.


Pacepa recounted a conversation with a Romanian general, Constantin Munteaunu, tasked with training Arafat. “I just called the microphone monitoring center to ask about the ‘Fedayee,’” explained Munteaunu. (Fedayee was Arafat's code name.) “After the meeting with the Comrade, he went directly to the guest house and had dinner. At this very moment, the ‘Fedayee’ is in his bedroom making love to his bodyguard. The one I knew was his latest lover. He’s playing tiger again. The officer monitoring his microphones connected me live with the bedroom, and the squawling almost broke my eardrums. Arafat was roaring like a tiger, and his lover yelping like a hyena.”


If you can, put the image of a sexually aroused Yasser Arafat “roaring like a tiger” to rest. How ought those party to the Arab-Israeli conflict respond to this news?


An honest reckoning on behalf of the Palestinians would be a good start. That Israel somehow killed Arafat is a conspiracy theory that still gains a great deal of traction in Palestinian society. Never mind that throughout his later days Arafat had an immune system–suppressing blood disease, lost 1/3 of his weight, and was suffering from mental dysfunction, all tell-tale signs of AIDS. In the popular Palestinian narrative, the menacing Jews poisoned Arafat, just like they poison Palestinian drinking wells or use Muslim blood to bake their bread. The Palestinians' denial that Arafat might have been gay is indicative of a broader self-delusion on their part to deny uncomfortable realities, the most prominent of which is the fact that a sovereign Israel is not going away.


While Palestinians deny, some conservative, pro-Israel commentators have jumped upon the latest revelation to not-so-subtly impugn gays. They relish the fact that Arafat was not just a terrorist, but a homosexual terrorist. Mark Steyn wrote a mocking post titled “No Fatah, No Fems” (mocking gay personal ads that warn “No Fats, No Fems,” on the National Review blog. Writing on the American Thinker, a popular conservative blog, James Lewis wrote of Arafat’s “malevolent narcissism,” a common trope used to disparage gay men with AIDS, and declared that “Arafat’s attitudes about sex no doubt applied to his politics and warmaking as well,” quite the armchair psychoanalysis (does having a hedonistic sex life translate into support for terrorism?). But it’s not Arafat’s rumored homosexuality that made him a disreputable character, it’s that he was a murderous thug. Anyone can be gay. Just as there are gay heroes in history—Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, maybe even Abraham Lincoln—there are gay villains too.


As for Arafat’s fellows in the Palestinian liberation movement, it makes perfect sense for his Arab enemies to publicize their contention that Abu Amar was a vulgar homosexual: Palestinian society—like Muslim society in general—is violently homophobic. The harassment and torture of homosexuals is a tried-and-true practice of the Palestinian Authority, and a burgeoning gay underground of refugee Palestinian homosexuals thrives in Tel Aviv, the gay capital of the Middle East. When Hamas gunmen raided Fatah offices in Gaza following their violent takeover of the territory in June, its operatives told Western media outlets that they had seized evidence of “corruption, collaboration with Israel, and a total lack of morals, including homosexual relations between officials.” Even though it is not Hamas indulging in the latest revelations about Arafat’s sexuality, Arafat’s supposed homosexuality and death from AIDS fits well with their narrative that the secular Fatah is little more than a gang of kleptocratic narcissists bent on sacrificing the future of the Palestinian people for their own self-enrichment. Homosexuality is just another indication of their corruption.


That this latest accusation comes from the PFLP—a secular, Marxist group—ought not come as a surprise either. The assumption that the left universally supports gay civil rights does not apply to doctrinaire Marxists, many of whom see homosexuality as a bourgeois practice standing in the way of the mighty class revolution.
If Arafat ever lifted a finger to stop the Palestinian Authority’s persecution of gays, then the rumors about his sexuality would not matter. But the fact that he was widely alleged to have had gay affairs while simultaneously looking askance at violently homophobic policies makes his sexuality relevant.


Arafat was and remains a hero to the Palestinians. This is regretful and indicative of the glaring problems in Palestinian society. A man whose life was defined by the murder of innocents and political rejection, both at the expense of his own people, is hardly the sort of figure who ought be the subject of nationalist hagiography. But such is the reality of Palestinian politics. At the very least, the Palestinians ought to have the honesty to accept that the father of their nationalist movement might have been gay. Once they do—and reflect that realization in their culture—perhaps Palestinian gays will no longer feel the need to seek refuge in the monstrous Zionist entity.
 
kama alikuwa na ukimwi sawa tunakubali inawezekana lakini kusema alikufa na ukimwi ni uongo mkubwa.ukimwi haui ghafla kiasi hicho na kila mtu anajua kwamba arafat aliuliwa kupitia food poisoning.
 
Pole yao lakini atleast wamesema kuwa AIDS ndiyo iliyochangia japo siyo official. Maana bado tu wagumu kutoa taarifa muhimu kama hizi especially watu wazito wanapoumwa au kufa.
