But S, all of this has been known forever. None other than Oriana Fallaci tipped off the world to Arafat's provenance (and sexual orientation) in the 1970's.
Arafat was actually "run" by the East Germans, with help from the rest of the COMBLOC, as directed by the KGB. Also, British sources estimate Arafat's personal fortune as close to $9 BILLION! That should be enough to set up every Palestinian refugee with a chicken ranch and a new car!
