Suha Arafat & Palestinian Poverty

[frizzer1]

NEW YORK — Palestinian First Lady Suha Arafat — whose husband regularly duns governments in the Middle East and Europe to help his poverty-stricken people — is living in Paris on $100,000 a month from Palestinian Authority coffers. And Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has amassed a personal fortune estimated at between $1 billion and $3 billion.

CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl offers those and other choice nuggets this Sunday on "60 Minutes." Stahl told me exclusively Wednesday that Suha Arafat's mother, Raymonda Tawil, is also living lavishly — apparently off international largesse and the Palestinian taxpayers.

"I have visited Suha's mother and she lives very well," Stahl said. "On our last trip to Paris, we looked for Suha but we didn't find her. I heard that the French took away her bodyguards and that Palestinian bodyguards now protect her."

Rumors of the 40-year-old Suha Arafat's extravagance — and her 74-year-old husband's use of public funds to pay her expenses — have been circulating for years in the Arab world and beyond.

"The last I heard, she was living in the Bristol Hotel, which is regarded as one of the premier hotels — if not THE premier hotel — in Paris," a highly placed Arab source tells me. "It is not far from the Elysee Palace and the American Embassy and the fashionable shopping district, Rue St. Honore. I understand that she has a whole floor to herself and her entourage, and that she has been living there for over a year. Must be quite expensive, especially given the financial situation of the Palestinians. . . . And that does not include shopping and dining!"

The switchboard operator at the Bristol, where a suite and 19 rooms go for $16,000 a night, told this column yesterday: "There is no one listed under the last name Arafat at the hotel."

A Paris-based letter-writer, Eli Tabori, told the Jerusalem Post last year that Suha was said to be living with Arafat's 8-year-old daughter Zahwa "in the fashionable Neuilly quarter . . . protected from the ill-doings of her husband." Tabori added: "While Europeans find it hard to make ends meet under the yoke of their respective EU tax systems, she shops for jewelry in the Place Vendome and frequents chic boutiques."

Asked by the French magazine Le Parisien why their daughter was born in Paris, Suha Arafat explained: "Our child was conceived in Gaza, but sanitary conditions there are terrible."

Ar current rates that is the subsistence of almost 5,000 Palestinians families per month.

Why they do not 'ceausescu' him is beyond me.

They have no bread? Let them eat cake.

Beyond me, too.

I was quite entertained by Arafat's marriage from the beginning. Suha was (is she still?) Christian Arab (as is Hanan Ashrawi - as well as the victims of the Haifa restaurant bombing before Yom Kippur). In addition, in view of long-time rumors of Arafat being homosexual, once they had a child, I would love to see DNA testing on Suha's daughter.....

I would also love for the money-trackers to see how others in Fatah have made out in personal finances since the money for oppressed Palestinians started rolling in.

What is so very sad is the world deliberately closing their eyes for an entire decade to the open evidence that "Palestinians" have been much more brutally abused and "oppressed" by their own supposed leaders than by the "Zionist enemy". sigh

filthy conditions??? what a lying bitch. a gold digging whore. her daughter was born at a time when arafat had very lavish homes in virtually every "palestinian" town.

But of course it was really those sneaky U.S. bastards again that were responsible:

700 rally in Gaza

GAZA CITY: Hundreds of Palestinians demonstrated yesterday in the streets of Gaza City against the freeze by the Palestinian Authority (PA) of some Hamas-linked charities' bank accounts. "Feed our children", "Cancel the freeze" shouted some 700 Palestinians, including a majority of women and disabled people, as they marched from the parliament building to the PA monetary authority. On August 28, the PA froze the accounts of six charitable organisations linked to the hardline Islamic group Hamas in a bid to comply with a US demand to clamp down on armed groups.

If these idiots don't get the message now, they will never get it! I don't give it much of a chance... as it seems ignorance is bliss.

Noam, Mediocrates: (ceaucescu him/Let them eat cake/Suha Antoinette): you guys should send these to Jay Leno except he probably would not dare to air these jokes for fear of offending the CAIR/Zogby type people. But you guys are right on!

And Wellofvow: I love your signature which to me summarizes the whole Arab/Israeli conflict in a nutshell. I think it's one of the wisest quotes in history and I would have loved to pick it as my signature if it wasn't already being used. I'm glad you put it out there for all to see.

But PLLLEAZZZZ! do not get me started on Suha Arafat. She definitely belongs with the likes of the Ceaucescu bitch with her diamond-encrusted shoe heels. It still baffles me that so few in the world even notice her and her shameless hypocrisy such as when she said she'd be honored to have a martyr son. I guess she thought it was safe to say since she has a daughter. We should reassure her that she can get what she wishes for as Arab discrimination against women stops at martyrdom. For Hamas et al, girls are more than welcome to blow themselves up even though they ain't gettin' no virgins up there. Did you guys read about how it is now practice for Hamas guys to seduce Palestinian girls and get them pregnant so then they can tell them that the only way out of bringing dishonor on themselves and their families is to redeem themselves by dying as martyrs and killing Jews (no, this is not from the Enquirer, see Page 131 in Alan Dershowitz's "The Case for Israel"). I don't know about you guys, but, while I tend to be pro choice, these homicide bombings/abortions are definitely beyond all human decency in my book.

Incidentally, I'll have to check my facts about Suha but, if I'm not mistaken, she delivered her daughter at the American Hospital in Paris which is well known for its excellent care to the rich and famous and out of reach to even the average Frenchman let alone Palestinian wretches. As far as the reason why she gave birth outside of the West Bank, I thought I read somewhere that the streets there are too narrow to accommodate her large BMW. LOL!

As far as sexuality, I saw a scandal sheet at the supermarket which revealed an intimate dalliance between Usama and Saddam. I guess we could always complete the perfect menage a trois by sending them Yasser. And, since we're at it, why not pair off Suha with Hillary. I understand the two infamous first ladies were on quite chummy terms before Hillary realized it might offend Jewish voters in New York, LOL!

I'm reading this book "Arafat's War" at the moment which claims that Arafat is actually a homosexual. What the f---? Is this true?

Nothing would surprise me about Arafat... it will be confirmed when we see him as the "head" marshal at the next Gay Pride parade! Perhaps an intelligence agency should send an "undercover" agent to "uncover" the truth about Arafat's alternative-lifestyle.
Scary thought... I wonder what his true-believers think of it, if it's true?

Oh enough with all that 'facist zionist propaganda.' Its well known that Palestinians live in poverty because of the Israelis - even 'humanatarian' aid agencies have proven this. Even the good old trusted UN has issued condemnations.

Yes, the Palestinians are poor thanks to Israel. The fact that Arafat had a collections of Rolls Royces and was rated as one of the wealthiest despots in Forbes (in the Kings, Queens and Despots seciton) is a well 'constructed myth' - according to campaigners for the Palestinian Cause. And what happened to all that Hundreds of Millions of dollars in aid from the U.S and EU...oooh thats out of the question.

[PeteRoy]

Arafat is and always has been a murderer criminal.

Don't expect him to be fair in anything.

LOL

Cant say I have ever heard this rumour before but it would certainly explain the love affair British Coloumbias NDP Svend Robinson the gay socialist had with Arafat.

Remember when he RUSHED to the compound last year?
LOL

The NDP party were so aghast at being aligned with Arafat they almost had heart failure when Svend darling befriended Arafat.


LOL
Priceless




Speaking of being Head Marshall, I propse we have him first up with the Dykes on Bykes who simply run him over a few times.

Great idea, Kev... Can you see Arafat and Svend at next year's Gay Pride Parade... they could get married right after and spend their honeymoon in .... ideas????? When Svend rushed the compound... I screamed at the TV..."Shoot him! Shoot him!!" the Israeli military are too well trained, in this case... I should have screamed at the Palestinians... "Shoot him!" If they had thought he was a Jew Arafat would have pulled the trigger himself! OOooohh! Can you imagine those two wankers being 'INTIMATE'...mustn't be crass...
YUK!! I think they would do well to become spokespersons for 'CELIBACY'. Straight or gay, one wouldn't want to think of sex, let alone having it; after witnessing those two. Robinson is a work of art, EH?? Someone should hang him... in the National Gallery of Canada, I must insist! Sorry, didn't take my meds today!!

Glad to see this duplicity and corruption exposed although much more needs to be done to unravel the b.s. being espoused by the western media.
