First time hearing about it, so cannot comment without reading further.

KGB and CIA had their noses in the affairs of every country, more so in the mid east, so cannot be ruled out.

Historical interest aside, that was not the point I made on this thread.

The point was justifying war on Iran upon the reason that they funded Hamas. So did Israel, they pretty much helped birth it. KGB may or may not be funding PLA, but that doesn't change who set up Hamas in the first place.

If reminding Arafat's Egyptian origin is to caste a shade, many in the Israeli government have European (often Polish) origin and surnames that they changed to fit their political career. Netanyahu included. So that cuts bothway.

It's a lot more than just nosing around. Just Google it, and if you don't trust the sources, just switch to the images tab.
