A photograph was showing the family of former U.S President Bill Clinton posing with the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. This image was widely circulated in the first two days of August 2016 on most of the social media websites. The circulated photograph has a title “A sweet picture before you go to sleep, for all Jews voting for Hillary”. It was still unconfirmed that who produced the extraordinary expectation for Jewish voters to be shocked by an expression that the Bill Clinton ever endorsed debatable former chairman of PLO. It was also expected that young Jewish voters will not identify Arafat. Point to be noted that Yasser Arafat was died in 2004 and the photograph was supposedly presented as showing the wife and daughter of Bill Clinton, and wearing headscarves welcoming the Middle Eastern guys.

Point to be noted that Yasser Arafat was the Chairman of Palestine Liberation Organization and President of Palestine National Authority. The former U.S President Bill Clinton arranged a number of negotiations with Yasser Arafat & the leaders of Israel during the term of Arafat in order to finish the conflict between both sides. Importantly, the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Israeli foreign minister Shimon Pares. He shared this prize due to their efforts in creating peace in the region of Middle East. The published photograph was captured when various world leaders were gathered in Morocco at the funeral ceremony of King Hassan II. The published photograph has a misleading statement as described the Clinton’s family was only posing with Arafat, but originally they were jointly posing with Turkish President Suleman Dameral.
