Sharon Killed ARAFAT?
Assassination Cover Up Succeeds
Quick Clean Funeral and Burial Planned
MIDDLEEAST.ORG - MER - Washington - 11 November: The powers that be have gotten things mostly their way when it comes to the death of the man Yasser Arafat, as well as they must be thinking to the symbolic end of the true Palestinian nationalist quest he came to symbolize.
Amazingly the assassination of Yasser Arafat is being covered up right in front of the whole watching world.
By at the least a preponderence of all the evidence and circumstances Arafat was blood poisoned by the Israelis with the help of turned Palestinians and an American OK. His own personal doctor reached that diagnosis before being barred from seeing Arafat at the French military hospital and from speaking out further. After threatening to go public about the great 'conspiracy you can't imagine' of which she screamed in her short frantic call to Al-Jazeera Monday, Arafat's 'wife', Suha Tawil, appears to have been herself threatened and bribed to shut up or else.
The announcement of Arafat's death was withheld for some days as the Israeli and U.S.-approved new 'Palestinian leadership' worked to coordinate with those in Washington and Jerusalem, in addition to the French, just how to transfer to themselves as much of Arafat's powers and monies as they could; how to best take care of the funeral and burial with the least fanfare they could get away with; and how to position everyone for the new political pressures and disingenuous 'peace plans' now immediately ahead.
To minimize things as best they could the funeral plan initially agreed upon before the death announcement was to be a fast and symbolic Cairo airport funeral. Insufficient, that now has been shifted to a nearby military club in Heliopolis, near the airport. But both the public and the Arab League have been pushed aside, Arafat's body will not be brought to Arab League Headquarters in downtown Cairo, and no special crypt or monoment is planned.
The Egyptian Army and secret police are all over Cairo today in a massive show of force few can remember since the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981. Visiting dignitaries for Friday's funeral in many cases will not even overnight in Cairo. And very few if any of the international dignataries will even be allowed to go to Ramallah in Occupied Palestine -- though truth be told again very few of the VIPs coming from the Arab 'client regimes' would even want to do so if they could. They've been given the very kinds of excuses they were looking for.
Arafat's body will not be even be brought to Gaza afterall; and Gazans will remain totally imprisoned behind the Israeli military walls, fences, and checkpoints unable to go to Ramallah or to prays in Jerusalem at the Noble Sanctuary.
And few Palestinians other than those who actually live inside now barricaded and walled-in Ramallah will even be able to attend the burial there on Saturday.
Much of this is certainly not as it should be; but the new 'Palestinian leadership' has been taught a special lesson with the killing of Yasser Arafat. If the Israelis and the U.S. can manage this assassination and its aftermath in such a crafty and deceptive manner, and get away with it all so easily, the message is rather clear:
"You Arab and Palestinian 'leaders' have much more to fear from us (Israel and the U.S.) if you don't play ball than you do from your own people. On top of all the other leaders we have killed off or imprisoned one way or another, we can even pull off a 'Stealth Assassination' of Nobel Peace Prize winner, former most frequent foreign guest to the White House, and international famed Yasser Arafat because he refused to do as we told him he must. So beware: COMPLY, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."
