Maariv picked up on Suha Arafat’s first interview in the Arab media since her husband died, including this fantastic snippet:
Suha also said that she was afraid for her life and the life of Zawa, and hinted that Israel might try and assassinate her. “All my life I have lived under occupation. I know that I, as Suha Arafat, am a target”, she concluded.
All her life ‘under occupation’?! She’s been primarily occupied by shopping, and in fact spent much of her youth in Paris, where she studied at the Sorbonne. In fact, Suha became controversial among Palestinians for giving birth to her daughter in Paris since Gaza wasn’t sanitary enough.
So if Suha so much as stubs her toe on a gold-plated French doorstop, you can imagine how fast Israel will be blamed. Meanwhile, ChronWatch notes that email scammers are already using Suha’s name in their latest efforts to part fools from their money.
