Beastly Me: What Israel learned from Arafat
Tomorrow's Netanyahu-Obama summit has Iran, Gaza, and settlements on the agenda, but the Israeli leader will bring a new tactic learned from an old nemesis. On The Daily Beast today, my take on how Bibi will "pull an Arafat."
Arafat poison stories show need for new journalism
Journalism needs a new way to handle a world run by corrupt oligarchs, megacorporations and others who'll just lie through their teeth
Along with my The Murder of Yasser Arafat co-author Matthew Kalman, I've written an op-ed for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz explaining why journalism isn't the best way to find out what's going on. The article's behind a paywall, but for the elite readers of this august blog there's always a way and this is it. Old-fashioned types can even buy the book.

Arafat murdered with polonium, Swiss report
Net closes around Palestinian president's killers
It's 11 months since I published The Murder of Yasser Arafat with co-author Matthew Kalman. We reported that Palestinian leaders in the immediate circle of the president had fed him poison, leading to his death nine years ago next Monday.
Swiss scientists reported this week that they had found unusually high levels of radioactive polonium in Arafat's exhumed bones. While some have tried to pooh-pooh the science behind the Swiss report, a leading UK nuclear physicist told the BBC that he agreed with the Swiss statement. In particular he cited the Swiss assessment that they'd give a "5 out of 6" chance Arafat died of polonium poisoning.
If you want to find out what really happened to Arafat, you could wait around for the leaders of the Palestinian Authority to clear it all up.....(I couldn't find the infinity symbol on my keyboard...) Or you could download our ebook and read the truth.
