Sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned:
All heaved a silent sigh that it was a disease, not Israel, that seems to have ended Arafat’s political career. “He is and was sick,” Saleh said. “There is no possibility of blaming the Israelis for his [possible] death.”
It’s not the whole dying thing that seems to bother them. It’s the whole “how’re we gonna stir up riots now” thing. I’m not worried – if the Palestinians hold true to form, Israel will get accused of poisoning him and then blaming it on cancer.
