Dolfus: Palestine Helmut Kohl
Also Arafat is as can be prove unites purposeful „killings “by of Israel leaders escaped: there are photos of its niedergebombten bed.
In addition it is a scandal that a strange state places the president of a neighbour state under house arrest, as this Israel with Palestine Arafat practiced.
Arafat stated still some time ago that someone tried obviously to poison him.
It surely already was over 70, but the time of its death is nevertheless strange.
Arafats successor does not make the best impression. It smells after a palästinensichen FRG Federal Chancellor.
