Stupid Western media theories about the origins of the Saudi-Qatari rift

Of course, it will start now: that Iran will be blamed for hacking the Qatari News Agency website and starting the rift between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.  Only those who don't know a word of Arabic and who has not read or watched the media of the two regimes in the last 12 hours will believe this.  It was clear that Saudi regime was prepared for this in advance: the column already appeared in the morning papers against Qatar, and the guests were already lined up to voice criticisms of the Qatari regime and its Emir.  It makes more sense that the Saudi regime was behind the hacking if there was any hacking. The statements of the Emir sounded true to me, and they are in line with the previous stances of Qatar.  So either there was an inside sabotage within the Qatari regime or the Saudis were behind the hacking with the assistance of their friends the Israelis.  And if Iran was behind the hacking, why were the statements about Iran not far more favorable?
