1. It took a month for the PA to extend this invitation?
Jake   (08.08.12)
LOL, you would think if there was a genuine reason to suspect that "Mr. Palestine" was poisoned by Israel, the PA would jump at the opportunity to conduct an investigation and autopsy immediately. But, just as Sooha Arafat refused an autopsy when Arafat died and kept his medical file under wraps for more than 7 years, the PA is now dragging its feet. Something is fishy, and rotten in Ramallah.
2. Just test him for HIV and enough of this nonsense

3. Arafat Testing
Lynn ,   Knoxville USA   (08.08.12)
Looking for "supposed poison?" Would the leftist Swiss also report any possibility of viral infection such as AIDS? Not likely since this is just an exercise in trying to smear Israel. The Swiss are not any more credible than their Scandinavian counterparts when it comes to the truth, just a country of/with anti-Semitic leanings. Israel needs to point out those anti-Semitic leanings and lack of Swiss credibility upfront.
4. Polonium assassinations are a Russian specialty
Stephen in New York   (08.08.12)
not Israeli. And the brief half-life of polonium indicates that whatever polonium was found on Arafat's clothing arrived there long after he died.
5. How can they figure out with which boys the Rais fooled
A Palestinian boy ,   Ramallah   (08.08.12)
around, with how many of them and when; and, who of them was infected by the HIV?
6. The Truth!
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (08.08.12)
Yassir Yourafart was a pedophile cum junkie. He died of AIDS. He preferred sniffing pickles to sampling Baccala. He used to work in a Butcher Shop in Ramallah. He specialised in taking meat in the back!
7. Yasser Arafat. Rest in Pieces. end
Danny ,   London England   (08.08.12)
8. who is paying for all this cadaverous baloney?
Jewish Doctor ,   ATLANTA GA USA   (08.08.12)
$uda? the poor grieved multi multi millionairess widow?. The PA (P-hew) The Swiss (yeah right) The USA (probably) Israel (yeah right)
9. Hopefully they will also test for....
Ariel ,   Modi'in   (08.08.12)
.... the presence of the HI Virus as well while they are at it. This raises another question, has Suha or her daughter been tested for HIV? If so, maybe Suha's daughter should have paternity tests conducted as well!!
10. #4, And with the millions that Sooha defrauded from the PA
Jake   (08.08.12)
It woudln't have been too difficult to get hold of a vial of polonium from some rogue elements in the Russian intelligence or former KGB (PLO was virtually built by KGB).
11. Can you blame him....
Jack Hoffer ,   NY NY   (08.08.12)
Suha is so ugly, no wonder he preferred Homosexual encounters.
12. this can only be counter productive
zionist forever   (08.08.12)
If its found there was no murder plot involved the ordinary palestiian on the street will be convinced there is a conspiracy. If there is found to be Polonium in his system Israel will be blamed for Arafat's murder, it will lead to terror to which Israel will respond with force. So palestinians losers. If the PA suddenly got some kind of desire to start negotiating agains which I doubt they will this will be just another obstacle to getting it started because now Israel is responsible for Arafat's murder. Arafat has been dead for close to 8 years digging him up won't bring him back or help anything. Isn't it best to let sleeping terrorists lie.
13. Swiss
rj ,   tel aviv   (08.08.12)
I was wondering when the Swiss visit the West Bank will they stop over in Israel to return all the nazi treasures that were stolen from Jews that they have been holding since the Holocaust. It is time for them and the vatican to return what is rightfully NOT THEIRS. As for arafat well really does anyone really care why he died or who maybe helped him along to his death.
14. #12,The pals are free to screw themselves
Jake   (08.08.12)
Avi Dichter, (former Shin Bet director), said that this has nothing to do with Israel, and that the pals have the body and all the keys are in their hands and they have the ability and the means to conduct their own investigation to find out the cause of Arafat's death. In other words, he knows for a fact that the only ones to be potentially screwed by the results of the investigation are the ones who issued the blood libel in the first place, not Israel.

"...let sleeping terrorists lie! I think you mean let sleeping "dogs" lie!
16. we already know these swiss are incompetent so it will be a
ralph   (08.09.12)
bought opinion.
17. So it took Suha 8 years to learn how to use Polonium safely?
Marco ,   Spain   (08.09.12)
If this is so deadly, and she didn't know about it, handling the bag she should be too dead by now.
18. Like Hitler, Arafat's body should be incinerated & disposed
Common Sense Guy ,   Israel   (08.08.12)
so that the Drek has no grave to become a shrine for hatred.
19. How much does the "Lady" pay
Mira ,   Vienna   (08.08.12)
the Swiss doctors out of her donation fed private bank account?
20. Aids. All Else is Commentary.
