Significance of Arafat's Jewish Ancestry?

This is a poll.

"None" is the answer.

This is an opinion poll and it is difficult to see how one could back up any response. Your job isn't to find the "correct" answer. Your job is simply to specify your opinion and maybe describe some thoughts you were thinking when you were reading the question and thinking about the alternatives provided.

If you think that it would not even get news coverage, then you should click on the "Other" option. If you think it would get nothing but some news coverage, then you should click on the first option.

How about this question: if Arafat went on the record stating that he is 1/8th Jewish, would the Palestinian people give him a higher approval rating, a lower approval rating, or the same approval rating that he already has?

What if he went on the record stating that he is 1/4 Jewish?

Skeppie,

I'm afraid it's not on his ass that he's thinking of getting it.

Science. I note from the poll 1 person voted for "I heart Amateur Scientist". Who was that, I wonder?
