The 'Palestinian Authority' will control the next intifadeh too
During the Oslo war, it took nearly two years before the IDF raided Arafat's Mukhata compound in Ramallah and 'discovered' what everyone with a brain in their head assumed all along: That the issue wasn't Arafat's ability to control the terror (as Ehud Barak and the 'international community' claimed), but the fact that Arafat himself was orchestrating, paying for and controlling the terror just fine. Arafat was acting like a commander in chief.For the last seven or eight years, we have been told how the 'Palestinian Authority' is weak without Arafat and therefore cannot fight terror. With the next 'Palestinian' war with Israel apparently just around the corner (that Facebook page now has over 140,000 "likes"), a 'senior Fatah official' has assured us that once again the 'Palestinian Authority' will be in control. Except that this time, our elected officials will have no excuse for fooling themselves (Hat Tip: David Hazony).
In a conversation with Ynet, a senior Fatah official denied the possibility that the Facebook campaign will lead to another Intifada.And when they want to start another war with Israel, they will start one.
"There is no organization from high ranks, which is why we are not worried about it," he said. "The situation in the West Bank is different than that in Egypt; if there isn't a political order to begin an intifada, there won't be an intifada."
The same official said that Fatah has the situation completely under control, but that senior Egyptian officials made similar claims in the early days of the uprising, before President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.
"We are certain there is nothing to it – at most, riots will go on for a day or two, but then the situation will calm down," he said.
He added that the authorities will prevent the rallies against the Hamas-Fatah dispute from turning into a call for another intifada. "We have control over these demonstrations," he said.
What could go wrong?

They should definitely rally around the Temple Mount. That's the jihadi place of choice to start an intifada... Bulldozers at the ready! :D
Israel's government is in denial.
Here's betting it will go back to sleep once the shock of the Fogel family massacre wears off.
What could go wrong indeed
