Suha Arafat Gettin' Busy
Suha Arafat is living large while the world's oldest terrorist live in a Ramallah hovel and the Palestinians are footing the bill:
As if all that were not enough, a new financial scandal emerged this week to add to the Arafats' anguish. The latest disclosures reveal that Yasser is delivering some $150,000 a month to support Suha's ongoing struggle for The Cause.
When an inquisitive journalist pointed out that Palestinians closer to home must get by on somewhat less, an Arafat aide helpfully explained that, "For people forced to live on their salaries, that seems to be a huge amount of money. But Suha is the wife of the President of Palestine " Such payments, he added, are common for the wives of Arab leaders. "It is entirely up to Arafat to give Suha as much each month as he wishes."
This is a funny line:
We know, for example, that she shunned the local midwives of Gaza, opting instead for the exclusive American Hospital in Paris when she gave birth to baby Zahwa - $10,000 per confinement; Jewish obstetrician guaranteed. ("Sanitary conditions in Gaza are horrible," Suha explained at the time. "I don't want to be a hero and risk my baby." Mercifully, we might conclude that she is not grooming Zahwa for martyrdom.
But of course, it's a zionist conspiracy:
Naturally, Suha rejects any responsibility for this embarrassment.
So who is responsible?
"Sharon is responsible for those wicked stories," she told the London-based daily al-Hayat. Why shouldn't Arafat support his wife, she asked plaintively, "especially since I am working for the Palestinian cause?" That did not cut much quiche with the French investigators. They are now expanding their inquiries to Brussels, where they are reportedly asking anti-fraud counterparts at the European Union about the alleged misuse of hundreds of millions of euros, ostensibly destined to prop up the PA and feed the Palestinians.
She's working for The Cause folks.
