Yasser Arafat was Egyptian. He was born there and his tribe is there. He's as Palestinian as every Turk or Houthi.

It's public knowledge.

Also Wikipedia is known for it's progressive stance. Can't trust it for anything that intersects with culture war issues where everything is a conspiracy.




You can probably trust Wikipedia when it says that Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt to Palestinian parents.


Arafat was born in Egypt to Egyptian parents. I knew where he was born since before Wales had the idea.


He was Palestinian. It's public knowledge. Secondly, let's say he's from Mars, does that maean the rest of the millions of Palestinians are also all Martians? LOL


I'm sure I'm misreading you; you didn't intend to say you can't trust Wikipedia because it doesn't indulge conspiracy theories, but I'm having a hard time understanding your meaning in any other form. Can you clarify?


Wikipedia overdoes it's claims that things are conspiracy theories. While people publicly promote those things.
