Sliema, Malta – Nine years after his death, Yasser Arafat’s widow says her marriage to him was a ‘big mistake,’ and that despite her wishes, the former Palestinian leader refused to allow her to leave.

In an interview with Turkish Newspaper Sabah (http://bit.ly/Xmy0FI), Suha Arafat said, “I loved Arafat, but the marriage to him was a big mistake on my part.”
The 49 year-old Suha married Arafat in 1990 when she was 27. Arafat was 61 when the two wed.
Suha said that during their 14 year marriage, which ultimately ended with Arafat’s death in 2oo4, she tried leaving him countless times, but that Arafat prevented her from doing so.
“I tried to leave to leave him hundreds of times, but he wouldn’t let me. Everyone knows he wouldn’t permit me to leave. Especially those in his servitude, they know very well what it was like.”
Homely isn’t she! You would think with all the billions he stole from his people he could have found a prettier trophy wife
Ah ha! So it was she who poisoned him! Not the Israelis as the Palestinian squatters implied.
Amazing she still hasn’t died from what he died from….
I really feel sorrow and sympathy for Mrs. Arafat. Now will she return to the poor Paletineans the hundreds of millions of dollars that she stahed away in foreign countries. Its called stealing by any other name. What chutzpa she has.
I’m sure the millions of dollars she gained from the marriage are providing slight comfort to her in her older age.
Maybe she will come over to Israel’s side now.
Oh, puh-lease! I’m sure she didn’t have a “traditional” marriage but the oodles of money more than compensated!
what a couple. Both are irresistible. if you recall Hillary Clinton hugged and kissed her after Suhah made allegations of blood placed in matzos that Jews baked. How could Hillary help herself?
And Yassir…….what a looker. No wonder a 27 year old meiskeit fell for him when he was 61. How could anyone resist someone who is such a model of masculinity.
In view of rumors that have circulated concerning Arafat’s sexual orientation, I wonder if it can be shown that their daughter is not biologically related to Arafat. And what compelled Arafat to marry a Christian woman?
Reply to 10. Hillary one of Israel’s staunchest supporters? Either you’re on drugs or you’re Chelsea Clinton. Which is it, come clean!
