ARAFAT....  WAS HE MURDERED?

Al Jazeera dropped a bombshell that most other media outlets are going to be slow to respond to given Al Jazeera did the investigative work.

The question becomes, are they really on to something?

My hunch is they are and for that reason I believe this story could go big real fast.

As you watch the clip   http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/whatkilledarafat/2012/07/201273181058734888.html

you will see what appears to be a compelling story that is worthy of further investigation.

Given the energy  Al Jazeera has, this will be one of their cornerstone investigations, if not their biggest one ever.

Would it be a surprise if some organization could point a finger at Israel for the death of Arafat?

Not really.

 That was the theory when he died, they just couldn't prove it with him being

buried within 24hrs of death and no autopsy.

If his wife agrees  to have his body exhumed, and it appears she has, this could turn into a full  blown crisis.

If you wanted a rallying cry for large scale protest in Israel, this would

be  just the ticket.

What I find even more interesting is the unique way he may have been murdered and the similarity to the murdered Russian Spy two years afterwards.

When it comes to the Middle East, there is no such thing as a coincidence.

What I find even more interesting is who would have benefited from Arafat's death?

Israel is an easy, uneducated answer.

Let me stir the pot just a little.

How about Hamas??

How about Abbas?

In the Al Jazeera story, notice the segment touching on when Arafat's wife called Al Jazeera when he was near death.

Notice who she stated was behind it?

With the death of the Fatah hero, Hamas was sure to rise to power... as they did!

So, like any good murder mystery....... who really killed Arafat, if he was killed?

Was there coconspirators?

If so, and we all know there is always coconspirators in political murders, then who were they and how nervous are they now about this story?

Notice how the Palestinian Doctors who were involved are so reluctant to talk to Al Jazeera?

Would they be that way if Israel was solely responsible for this event?

I don't think so.

This story has all the makings of a " game changer".

The question becomes, who tries to make it so?

The other fact of the matter is this; the truth may will get lost in the youth of the Arab world and we all know  perception rules in the Middle East.
