Latest nutty Muslim rumor: "The Israel lobby poisoned Ataturk" - in 1938!

Turkish media is reporting that a journalist named Fatih Tezcan is claiming that the founder of the Turkish republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, didn't die from cirrhosis of the liver as has been assumed - but, according to a supposed new autopsy, he was poisoned.

Tezcan is convinced that the only way Ataturk could have been poisoned was through his alleged involvement with Freemasons, who every conspiracy theorist knows is really a Jewish organization.

The motive? Why, because Ataturk was against the establishment of Israel! So the Mossad - before there was a Mossad - decided to get rid of him, because Turkey's opposition to a Jewish state was really, really important in 1938 to Jews.

While the Turkish media reporting this craziness is careful to say "The Israel lobby" killed Ataturk, the Arab media is saying in a more straightforward manner that it was the Jews.
