The Archbishop of Sebastia of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, Atallah Hanna, fell ill over the weekend.
So he blamed Israel for poisoning him.
Speaking to what appears to be dozens of reporters at a hospital in Jordan, Hanna changed the original story of his illness, when he claimed that Israel shot some sort of shell into his church in Jerusalem, a claim that was obviously not corroborated.
He now says that it is possible that the alleged poison was hidden somewhere in his library.
Hanna says "I hold the occupation authorities responsible for the serious health problem that has afflicted me for this day."
He says that he is having difficulty speaking, even though he gave a 13-minute statement without any seeming slurring or stuttering.
But he also said, "I cannot be certain that Israel is behind this incident, but indications are that it is behind it...I believe that if Israel was implicated in this incident, its goal was not an assassination, but rather an attempt to harm me."
Because it makes so much sense for Israel to put poison hidden in his library, not knowing if or when he would be exposed, and only wanting to get him sick but not seriously harmed. It's so obvious!
