Blast from the past: Suha Arafat, the show wife of former palestinian leader, arch terrorist Yasser Arafat, flapping her gums snout to a Saudi magazine in 2001, confessing she never really wanted peace with Israelis anyway (hat tip: LGF reader).

suha arafatSuha Arafat, the Palestinian first lady once famed for her outspoken remarks and a talent for embarrassing her husband, has confessed that she hates Israel, and never really believed in peace with the Jewish state.

Her remarks to the Saudi women’s magazine, Sayidaty, break a lengthy silence from the 37-year-old convent-educated wife of Yasser Arafat. They were reprinted yesterday in Yediot Ahronoth, the largest circulation Hebrew newspaper, at a time when the Palestinians are trying to get Israel to agree to an Egyptian-Jordanian ceasefire plan.

“I hate the Israelis,” Yediot quotes Mrs Arafat as saying. “I oppose normalisation with them. Israeli women have attempted to make contact with me and I rejected them.

“I am giving an unequivocal message to all Israeli women proposing help for our institutions: you are responsible for the problems our children have. How do you dare to offer donations?”

The interview is the first extensive airing of Mrs Arafat’s opinions since 1999 when she embarrassed the then visiting American first lady, Hillary Clinton, by accusing Israel of poisoning Palestinian air and water, and causing cancer.

She makes plain that, even in the years before the intifada, she did not fully believe in the peace process. “I was never happy with the way negotiations with the Israelis were conducted. The way things are now, I do not believe we will ever achieve true peace.”

Mrs Arafat has not been seen at her seaside home for several months and is believed to have spent most of the intifada in Paris. Her absence has embittered ordinary people who had expected their first lady to remain by their side.

The photo spread may also be an attempt to assure Palestinians about her marriage to Mr Arafat. She says they have grown closer despite disagreements including, she claims, her efforts to stamp out corruption in the Palestinian Authority. “I am not afraid Arafat will marry another wife at the same time he is married to me. He doesn’t have the time.”

Or the sexual orientation.

Meanwhile, Suha offered this explanation for his quivering lip:

“This is the result of air pressure on aeroplanes – he is under pressure, and it is no wonder that the situation has had an effect on him.” Mrs Arafat says her 71-year-old husband is in good health.

At least he never had to worry about the aeroplane being hijacked.

It wouldn’t happen unless he gave the orders.

    "she embarrassed the then visiting American first lady, Hillary Clinton, by accusing Israel of poisoning Palestinian air and water, and causing cancer"

    That's an interesting way of putting it. Miss Rodham not only made no protest, but air-kissed her. Try "exposed".

  2. Indeed a blast from the past. Not only was Yasser still alive at the time of the interview, but his kleptomania was in full career. He may have even stolen more than Bernie Madoff, since the latter paid back part of his collections to early investors, while Arafat paid back nothing. And Suha by all accounts blackmailed the PA and Fatah into keeping the loot by threatening to reveal the real cause of Yasser's death.

    We enable her to live a lifestyle beyond the dreams of avarice, and she hates us? Talk about projection!
