Does anyone else think the Mossad poisoned Arafat?

My friends who aren't conspiracy theorists like myself say he died from natural causes. I tell them it was too sudden and played out too quick. Then they throw more arguments out at me.

I've heard the argument that goes: "Why would they poison him quietly when Israel had no problem launching missiles directly at him?" My response is: "That didn't work too well though, did it. He lived through that and they don't often have an excuse for an attack like that everyday."

The other argument I hear goes something like: "Why wouldn't they have done it years ago if they could?" My response is: "The CIA spent a lot of time and money trying to kill Castro through clandestine means (infect him with STDs, poison his food, etc). They were never successful and look how long they tried."

Arafat died from a brain hemorrhage which led to multiple organ failure - and it all happened inside of a few weeks. More than that, no one else is saying. That's the thing I find strange. I get uncomfortable when people don't talk openly about stuff.

The Mossad is not a weak third-world intelligence agency. Their skills and resources rival MI6 and the CIA.

I know others probably have the same suspicion. It will be interesting, in the following months, to see what other facts bubble to the surface.
