The the best of my knowledge, he was not Arafat's blood uncle. Arafat has referred to Al-Husseini as "his spiritual uncle", which is worse. You can disavow an uncle who embraced Hitler and espoused the "Final Solution". But Arafat embraced such a man as if he was his uncle. Very revealing of the evil of this man who Colin Powell apparently considers to be a Palestinian George Washington.
