> [@Reeder](#): > > Does anyone really believe Israel wouldn’t have done it if the had the chance? Poison Arafat? of course they wouldn’t: the last thing they want is Arafat the Martyr haunting them for decades to come. The man was close to death anyway: why make him immortal? Ah, but they could do it without anyone noticing? Bullshit. Ain’t no such thing as a perfect crime, and they knew for damn sure that when Arafat died, his death would be closely investigated. Not worth the risk. Daniel ---

But if they could make in look natural. It’s looks to me like the Drs could not find a reason for what happened to Arafat. ---
