When a prisoner dies in custody, the burden of proof is on his jailers, to prove he wasn't murdered. This is especially true, when those jailers have a pattern of killing prisoners in their custody, and never naming or punishing anyone for the crime.

I'm sure, if a prisoner died while in the custody of the PLO, you wouldn't assume "natural causes", no matter what the PLO said. When prisoners in Stalin's Gulags died in custody, nobody believed it was "natural". But, with the U.S. and Israel (and nobody else), you are endlessly credulous.

What Abbas did in 1985 was a crime. What my nation did to him, in 2004, is also a crime. The ironic thing is, if he'd stayed in Israel, he'd still be alive, because Israel had given him an amnesty.
