Oh, excuse me, may have done it, nudgenudge, winkwink...It has begun. Via LGF and MOTNews, the "cui bono" analysis of BBC reporter Alan Johnston's potential murder leads Alan Hart to speculate that it was likely that Israel would have been the perpetrator, not the Palestinian Arabs widely known to be holding him. In other news, Israel is responsible for Hamas, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, every call for genocide ever issued by any Arab anywhere...after all, it all lends to their own image as "victims"...
Since when have the Arabs ever acted in a manner consistent with their own humanitarian self interest?
If Alan Johnston is dead, who, really, was responsible?
On Count Two, and if he has been murdered, Alan's death, if it could be blamed on a Palestinian or a pro-Palestinian Arab and/or other Islamist group, would be a huge political setback for the legitimacy of the Palestinian struggle and the present leadership of it [Since when has murder ever been a setback for the Palestinian cause?-S]. (The Al Qaeda franchise would not give a damn about harming the Palestinian cause).
There is a case for saying (repeat a case) that the party with most to gain from Alan Johnston's permanent disappearance was Israel. It would not be the first time that Israeli agents had dressed as Arabs to make a hit.
If Alan Johnston is dead, it's my hope that the BBC at executive management level will rise above its fear of offending Zionism too much and allow its reporters (Frank Gardner and Jeremy Bowen are second to none) to make a full, thorough and honest investigation.
