'Jews Poisoned & Murdered Arafat Like They Did The Prophet Muhammad', Palestinian Minister Claims

A Palestinian Authority minister has delivered a sermon comparing Yasser Arafat’s death to that of the Prophet Muhammad – and blamed the Jewish people for both deaths.

The Palestine Liberation Organisation leader died mysteriously in Paris in 2004, following a short illness, prompting suspicions he had been poisoned.

In October Swiss radiation experts confirmed traces of polonium-210 were found on clothing used by Arafat, further igniting the debate.

"Citing a hadith which claims Muhammad told his wife on his deathbed that he had been served poisoned meat by a Jewish woman, Minister of Religious Affairs Mahmoud Habbash insisted both men had been poisoned and murdered by the Jewish people."

7. 'The soil of Europe which germinated and cultivated this poisonous virus of Jew hatred and plots '

In case you think that this poisonous hatred is confined to the Arab and Islamic world let me demonstrate how it has already spread most effectively beyond the confines of those with whom we are being pressured to make a fake peace. The soil of Europe which germinated and cultivated this poisonous virus of Jew hatred and plots continues to incubate and spread its own updated version these days.
Recently a newspaper in Germany published a cartoon depicting a snail and a dove heading in the direction of a signpost indicating Iranian talks. Standing on the road was Netanyahu speaking into his mobile and requesting snail and bird poison. The obvious assertion of course was that the Israeli Prime Minister needed this poison in order to kill the talks or those engaged in talks with Iran. As an added insult this classic depiction of Jews wanting to poison others was published on the anniversary of Kristallnacht. Could anything be more illustrative of how far this poisonous virus of Jew hatred has spread among the so called enlightened media in Europe? This was not the first time such a Nazi era type cartoon has been published as a similar Judeophobic cartoon portraying Jews as poisonous man eating monsters appeared in another German newspaper awhile ago. In today’s internet world cartoons like these go viral instantly and their evil messages are internalized by millions.

11. Was Muhammed supposed to have been poisoned by anybody?

I always thought he died of natural causes; he was in his 60s which was quite old in those days, and, though I admit to not being an expert on Islam, I didn't think he was thought to have been murdered.

I know that there have been suspicions that Arafat may have been poisoned, but both the French and Russians did investigations, which did not result in clear evidence.

In any case, even if someone was murdered, that does not automatically mean that the jooooooos dunnit, much as some people might like to think so.
