SO HOW DID JARADAT REALLY DIE AND DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

Arafat Jaradat died in Israeli custody that is an undeniable fact, but how he died, is where the truth may fall victim to convenience.

It's no mystery that Hamas and Fatah continue to struggle for the leadership position in the Palestinian statehood issue.

Waiting for an event such as the tragic death of this young man is something that Hamas is notoriously famous for taking advantage of.

Developing a scenario where Abbas once again appears to be incapable of protecting the Palestinian movement is the desire of Hamas.

As is often said in the world of politics, "never failed to take advantage of a good disaster"!

Is Hamas out to create open hostilities with the Israeli government?

Is this truly Hamas is attempted a third intifada?

Is a third intifada a Hamas tool of Abbas's downfall?

Are the Israelis doing whatever it takes to prevent the potential of a third intifada?

Is Hamas or Fatah capable of controlling the youthful violence of the Palestinians?

If the fears that Abbas could lose control, is there also a fear that even Hamas can gain control?

What is the purpose of trying to structure these protest other than the continuous one-upsmanship between Hamas and Fatah?

A few months ago, Mr Morsi attempted to take advantage of the youthful protest and he quickly found out how little control he truly had over the Egyptian people.

If Hamas and Fatah are not careful, they can learn the same lesson that the Egyptian leader did.

So, the underlying question seems to be is this event going to lead to a third intifada?

Fortunately, the answer to that question lies more with the Israeli leadership that it does the Palestinians.

Yes, this young man died in Israeli custody, but his death seems to be nothing more than a tool in the ongoing power struggle within the Palestinian movement; how pathetic!
