Oh, for Pete’s sake. The disgraceful spectacle of mainstream media pandering to the hateful delusions of the Arab world has passed the point of absurd, and is entering the land of the surreal. No known poison found on Arafat but diagnosis unclear: nephew.

Watch as the media avoids the term AIDS like, well, like the plague, while continuing to give credence to the Palestinians’ ridiculous face-saving “poisoning” fantasy.

PARIS (AFP) - French doctors who carried out tests on the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat discovered no trace of any known poison, his nephew Nasser al-Qidwa told reporters before adding he could not rule out the possibility of poisoning.

After receiving the medical report on his uncle’s death, Qidwa said there was still no clear cause of death and the poisoning theory could not be ruled out definitively, even though there was no clear evidence of it.

“I have not had the time to study the report and obviously I am not competent because I am not a doctor,” he said Monday.

“But two central points remain. There is no clear diagnosis of the reason for the death, and second the toxicological tests were made and no known poison was found.”

If any other world leader had died in these circumstances, with these symptoms, media would have been having a feeding frenzy over the possibility of AIDS. But because it’s Yasser Arafat they prostitute themselves, giving protection to a mass murderer (even after his death!) that they would afford to no other person in the world. What a sad joke our news services have become.
