This documentary is absolute crap and simply another political propaganda piece to drum up hatred against Israel.
The article does not say when they did the analysis on Arafat’s clothing but unless it was done within three years of Arafats death the chances of finding any residual Po-210 is just about ZERO.
The general fule of thumb I was tought in college was that three half-lives of an isotope typically takes the contamination of the isotope below detestability.
Granted that instrumentation today is much more sensitive but even if you stretch it out to 6 half-lives we are long past even that length of time. Even if the were to look for decay daughters Po-210 decays to Pb-206 (not 210) a stable isotope of lead by emission of a alpha particle.
But the simple fact is that Po-210 having a half-life of 138 days by December of 2011 would have gone through 18.5 half-lives and would be factually none existent in Arafat’s clothing and by 2009 would have been undetectable.
As far as an autopsy of Arafat goes Po-210 would undetectable there as well. Unless the dose that Arafat received was truly massive and left a huge amount of lead in his system an autopsy of his body would be indeterminate for Po-210 poisoning.
And this matters to the MSM and UN why?
Everything that you pointed out won’t matter to those that hate Israel. They will spin it to blame the Israelis and our State Department won’t argue.
