'Suha Arafat admits husband premeditated Intifada'
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12/29/2012

Posted on 12/29/2012 11:40:39 AM PST by SeekAndFind

In interview, Palestinian leader's widow says Arafat decided to launch Intifada after Camp David, according to research institute.

Yasser Arafat's widow Suha admitted that the late Palestinian leader premeditated the Second Intifada, in an interview with Dubai TV earlier this month, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

“Immediately after the failure of the Camp David [negotiations], I met him in Paris upon his return.… Camp David had failed, and he said to me: ‘You should remain in Paris.’ I asked him why, and he said: ‘Because I am going to start an Intifada. They want me to betray the Palestinian cause. They want me to give up on our principles, and I will not do so,’” the research institute translated Suha as saying.

“’I do not want Zahwah’s (Arafat's daughter's) friends in the future to say that Yasser Arafat abandoned the Palestinian cause and principles. I might be martyred, but I shall bequeath our historical heritage to Zahwa and to the children of Palestine,’” Suha quote her late husband as saying, according to the translation.

Arafat's comments run contrary to claims that former prime minister Ariel Sharon's infamous visit to the Temple Mount triggered the Intifada, which was launched in September 2000.

Well, duh. Everybody knew that at the time, and that Sharon’s visit was just a convenient pretext.

And she doesn’t even try to hide it now.
Because she knows that nobody will pick up on it or hold anyone to account.
All she has to do is point and shout “Look, Jews!” and the world will froth and rage some more.
Sickening and predictable.

Before purchasing an expensive villa on the Rue Fauborg St. Honore, Mrs. Arafat occupied a 19-room suite for more than a year at the five-star Bristol Hotel in Paris that goes for about $16,000 a night, paid for by the Palestinian Authority

An excellent account was written during the Intifada 2 by a professional whose assignment to a trauma unit led him to observe and treat many of Arafat's victims.

"The medical challenges are daunting. Victims with blast injuries can seem perfect on the outside but may be burning up inside. Several weeks ago, I kneeled over a beautiful young woman named Shiri Nagari in the hospital parking lot. I asked her how she was feeling, and she answered that she was okay. But I felt that something was wrong. She was slowing down. I ordered immediate intubation to create an airway. Some of my colleagues thought we needed to spend time on the patients with more visible wounds. But her chest X-ray confirmed my hunch: a white butterfly on the black background. Shiri's lungs had exploded. The same loud wave of air that smashes your eardrums can compress the air in your lungs and send it to destroy the organs in your abdominal cavity. Three concussive waves do lethal damage when a bomb explodes in an enclosed area. We rushed Shiri to our trauma operating room, always left empty for emergencies, and opened her up: blood in her chest and abdomen, a liver torn apart. No matter how much blood we pumped in, she couldn't survive."

It would be interesting to ask Ms. Arafat and Ms. Clinton, their reaction to these accounts of "diplomacy" with explosives.

Neither would be fazed by it, nor would they care.
The soul-less always view people as expendable and disposable.
Especially if the “expendable classes” are a racial/ethnic/”undesirable” group said soul-less person dislikes.
Basically white males, Jews, and businessmen fall into the “expendable class” in Clinton’s eyes, but Suha?
Who knows beyond what we already know, she hates Jews and wants them all dead.
