Wrong. Polonium 210 occurs naturally in pitchblende. In fact, it is the most common of all the naturally occurring polonium isotopes. Arafat (may his name be cursed throughout eternity) was the most useful idiot that the Arab world has ever produced. An unshaven, scraggly looking monstrosity of a human being, responsible for the deaths of thousands. He wasn't the power in either Fatah or the PLO -- Israel took out the PLO's entire brain trust (traveling, on occasion, great distances to do that). That's why the PLO collapsed. That's why Fatah is in disarray. Israel was smart enough to know who needed to be eliminated and who was more useful alive. That said -- by the time of his demise, Arafat (may his name be cursed throughout eternity) had a great many enemies and not very many friends. He had become an anachronism and an embarrassment.

Because Shamir was a freedom fighter who did not target innocent civilians and Arafat (may his name be cursed throughout eternity) was a vile terrorist who specifically targeted innocent civilians, and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Jews.
33. Ynet! You censored my post!

Why? Is it because I suggested Suha and others are getting money for this farce? Is it because I suggested that this is just a gimmick and questioned who is behind it? Is it because it throws Suha in a bad light for having kept her husband's soiled clothing all those years and what was her reason for that? Is it because I wondered how come the Swiss "co-operated" and I asked about the results from the other European laboratories? Is it because I pointed out that Litvinenko lost all the hair on his head? Is it because I wondered if the French hospital had radiation equipment? Is it because I wondered if the items of clothing even belonged to Arafat? Is it because I said what kind of person Arafat was rather than what the Balestinians are making him out to be? Is it that my language was too blunt for comfort?
34. 32 - Shamir was a freedom fighter who did not target innocen

Google "Shamir terrorist" ;) ,...
35. "Extraordinary man???" a terrorist, nothing less
James ,   UK   (07.05.12)
He was a terrorist and decent Arabs should be ashamed of him - no one who cares what he died of. Think of how many lives are saved since his death. I don't think the French are stupid to report that he died of AIDS if it was not true, that would make them liars otherwise.
36. the Arabs are not too happy about his faith and that's
James ,   UK   (07.05.12)
why they want to rewrite his legacy. Ask Suha his wife to submit his death certificate.
37. To: No. 34

No need. Anybody can slap up a website and say whatever they want. It doesn't make it true. Shamir was not a terrorist; he was a freedom fighter. Arafat (may his name be cursed throughout eternity) was a terrorist, and darned proud of it. Reprehensible to most sane human beings, which is probably why you think so highly of that disreputable slime.
38. #23 - Indeed, Arafat was iconic
William ,   Israel   (07.06.12)
"we teach his doctrines...and actions to children at schools" Yes, we saw the videos of young kids dressed up in suicide bomber gear, being taught that Jews never had a history in the region and are an inferior race, and glorifying terrorists who take innocent lives. Arafat indeed is iconic because he represents everything there is about the "Palestinian people"...that is, he claimed to be "Palestinian" but was born in Egypt... ...he claimed to be a freedom fighter but targeted mostly innocents - in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, etc. - and repeatedly passed up deal after deal that would bring peace and prosperity to his "people". And he was corrupt, just like every other despotic Arab leader. In short - he was a fake, a mockery of human decency, and basically a violent parasite - like the "people" he created in 1964.
39. #34 - I googled it...
William ,   Israel   (07.06.12)
ended up returning a bunch of opinion pieces from fringe "news" groups no one ever heard of. Funny, I get the same type of results when I Google "chem trails tin hat Nevada", though I'm not surprised.
40. #24 Split - very easy
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.06.12)
Shamir didn't go around using our children & civilians as Human Shield Nor did we send our people around wearing Homicide Bomb belts PALESTINIAN’S ARE “INVENTED PEOPLE” Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad Slams Egypt over Fuel Shortage in Gaza Strip, and Says: "Half of the Palestinians Are Egyptians and the Other Half Are Saudis" Al-Hekma TV (Egypt) - March 23, 2012 - 03:09 HIS VIDEO IS ON YOUTUBE “FATHI HAMMAD” Hamas official reveals where Palestinians came from "Half of the Palestinians Are Egyptians and the Other Half Are Saudis" Al-Hekma TV (Egypt) - March 23, 2012 - 03:09 ---------------------------- Another of his Video’s brags about Hamas using their own people for Human Shields If you should want to dispute what Fathi Hammad has said, please take it up with him, since he said it More Videos from Hamas, Hamas trains future terrorists in Kindergarten
