PLO leader Yasser Arafat, now dead, and his wife Suha, who lives in Malta.

Last Monday, Suha Arafat walked into a jewellery shop in Sliema and, when asked by the assistant what she required, she explained that she was there to buy jewellery as a Christmas gift for the daughters of the prime minister.

Why she should have found it necessary to tell the shop assistant this, rather than say she was looking for jewellery for two little girls, is beyond me.

Perhaps it is normal in her world for the widow of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation’s infamous leader to go around buying Christmas gifts for the children of the prime ministers of EU member states, and that it will not be seen as questionable, unethical and corrupt in Malta as it would in, say, Germany or Britain.

I hasten to add that I did not discover this information through the shop assistant or the shop owner. A friend who knows exactly who who Yasser Arafat was and who his widow is just happened to be standing at the counter waiting to pay for his own purchases when Mrs Arafat came in and had her conversation with the shop assistant.

Unfortunately, as the discussion over what to choose was taking place, his own transaction was completed and he had to leave, so I don’t know what pieces she bought or how much she spent.

    The husband of this woman stole food from the mouths of the Palestinian poor. Now she is throwing the money away. We never got to hear what presents she gave to the PN.

      Ah, but Yasser spent a lot of his money on the health needs of Palestinian people. That’s what his widow told Frank Psaila on Net TV’s L-Iswed fuq L-Abjad.

  2. ciccio says:

    Did Mrs Arafat buy that jewellery for the prime minister’s children using embezzled PLO money?

  3. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Not to belabour a point, but this vile black widow made her nest in Malta under the PN’s tenure, when Malta was ruled by a cabal of spineless puppets with a grey eminence whispering in the wings, who all thought they were answerable to no one but god.

    Ha jiddikjarhom lill-Public Accounts Committee issa, dawn? Ja ipokriti.

  5. PUG says:

    Yes, she did – and she will deliver the gifts accompanied by the self-appointed expert on all that is Palestinian – Joseph Mifsud.

  6. TROY says:

    Ghax it has to be extra special jewellery for these particular twins, hi.

  7. Rahal says:

    Who knows? Mrs Arafat could well be applying for a Maltese passport soon.

    [Daphne – She doesn’t need one. Mrs Arafat is a citizen of France.]

    Khodorkovsky could be a perfect candidate for Maltese citizenship. He needs a new passport. He probably has oodles of money stashed away somewhere. Hasn’t little Joey contacted him yet?

      Putin won’t let Joseph Muscat do it. Putin will get Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko K.O.M. to deliver the message to Muscat.

    The diamonds affair, known in France as “l’affaire des diamants”, was a major political scandal in the 5th French Republic. In 1973, the then Minister of Finance, president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, was offered two diamonds from the Central Africa Emperor and notorious dictator, Bokassa I.

    The affair was unveiled by the satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaîné on October 10, 1979. It contributed to Giscard’s losing the 1981 presidential election.

      I hope you’re not expecting a clamour of protest forcing Muscat to resign his seat, are you?

      This is only jewellery from the PLO leader’s widow, after all.

      Now if it was some homemade clock, the guillotine would be singing its bloody song.

    After exhuming his corpse and getting samples from his remains, it turns out that Arafat was not poisoned by polonium after all. This is according to two independent studies done in France and Russia respectively.

    Vanni, bil-Malti dik nghidulha korruzzjoni ghax hija aghar minn ghoti ta’ arlogg li ma jiswiex iktar minn ftit euros.

    Was it clean money which had been thoroughly laundered that she paid for the gifts with ? Some of it must have been stained red with blood in days of yore. Whatever it was, it must have cost more than a DIY maltese clock. Our Zeppi must be so embarrassed to let the cat out of the bag and spill the beans.

    On a separate note, last week I was at a very renowned jewellery shop in Valletta looking for my wedding ring and there was Nuxellina who bought a 1,500 euro Longines watch as a christmas present for her bf..guess the lady is “working” a lot.
