Here's is what I know and hold to be true from following the story over the years:
Quite a few high ranking sources in Israel insinuated he died of AIDS. He contracted the disease in the '80s. He was a homosexual and the Israeli intelligence is rumored to have videotaped proof.
Israel had no reason to poison him. After the Karine A affair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karine_A_Affair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karine_A_Affair Arafat's reputation was tarnished beyond repair with Western leaders. In later 2004 the intifada was mostly mitigated already. He was no longer a threat politically or militarily. Israel knew he was dying anyway and if you go back and read news reports you can see that over years he received quite a few treatments overseas for cover up diseases.

- chc 13y agoIt's very coincidental that somebody would die of AIDS at the same time he had a lethal dose of polonium in his system.
- ilitirit 13y agoIf they had video proof they would have released it ages ago to discredit him. If there was anything it was a probably a video of him hugging and kissing another man, which is not a strange custom between men in the ME.
