Isn't that the same stuff that killed that Brit spy?

Ivan has a way of illuminating certain issues, or blame it on Hymie?

But who shot JR?

More importantly, tests reveal that Arafat’s final personal belongings – his clothes, his toothbrush, even his iconic kaffiyeh – contained abnormal levels of polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element. Those personal effects, which were analyzed at the Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland, were variously stained with Arafat’s blood, sweat, saliva and urine.

Urine on the toothbrush or kaffiyeh or clothes? What has he been doing? Pissing on his toothbrush or in his kaffiyeh or in his pants?

Depending where you keep your toothbrush in your bathroom it could be stained with urine. Urine splatters travel far.

Wonder if it's true, and if anyone will attempt payback via dirty bomb in central Tel Aviv if it's proven Scary thought.

I don't keep my toothbrush next to the crapper. Besides, I prefer to take a leak sitting down with a magazine or phone for surfing. Take a leak and a seat, read something, get the pants on and do the next thing.

"A conclusive finding that Arafat was poisoned with polonium would not, of course, explain who killed him."

I wasn't referring to your urinating habits, they have nothing to do with the story. But maybe I wasn't clear, my bet.

At the end he wasn't beloved by either side. The rumors was that the Israelis poisoned him with the help of Fatah and Abbas.

Wasn't "The rumor" of which you are now mongering about, actually just "A rumor"? You know, the difference between one of many rumors mongered about at that time but indisputably not a singular or unique rumor, of course? Surely you can stipulate that there where very many rumors and numerous ones imagining Israel or some subdivision thereof visiting death upon Arafat and there was undoubably maybe another equal measure of Non-Israeli interests that would do him the same?

That's what a rumor is, a rumor. Who benefited by his death; the Israelis, the US and Fatah. I don't know if you remember how he spent his last years, but at that point there was no peaceful solution. He had to go.

And what Non-Israeli interests are you talking about, is not all that happens in that region and beyond in the interest of Israel?
