By Micah Halpern
Wednesday August 17, 2016 I've Been Thinking: Hamas sent out a scathing ultimatum to the Palestinian Authority yesterday. Hamas said that if the PA doesn’t stop arresting their people in the West Bank --- Hamas will boycott the upcoming local elections. Actually, many of the Hamas leaders that the Palestinian Authority is arresting in the West Bank are election organizers who are motivating people to vote for Hamas over Fatah. Fatah might actually want Hamas to boycott the local elections - it would give Fatah a hands down victory over Hamas. The problem is that if Hamas is absent from the election, it would call into question Fatah's true popularity and give Hamas the opportunity to delegitimize the entire election.
