Should We Be Suspicious?

Palestinian Authority News Item #1:-

Minister of Justice at the Hamas government dies in Gaza

Hamas movement reported on Wednesday that Dr. Ahmad Shweideh, minister of Justice in Haneyya's government in Gaza, died on Wednesday at dawn the Al Shifa Hospitals in Gaza after suffering a heart attack.

The minister was moved to the hospital on Tuesday at night but died several hours later.

The Hamas-run website Palestine-info reported that a government source said that “Dr. Shweideh, who also occupied the post of acting minister of Prisoners and ex-prisoners, fell ill and was taken to the Shifa hospital for treatment, but died after deterioration of his health”.


Palestinian Authority News Item #2:-

Fateh member dies in a Jericho prison

Palestinian media sources in the West Bank reported on Wednesday that one member of Fateh movement died in vague circumstances at the Jericho Central Prison controlled by Fateh security forces and police in the West Bank city of Jericho.

The sources stated that Shady Shaheen, in his thirties, suffered from a sharp deterioration in his health conditions two days ago, but members of his family accused the security forces of torturing and executing him in prison.

The family demanded an autopsy to reveal the causes of his head.

Shaheen was arrested in 2002 after he was accused of opening fire at Nabil Amro, the then Palestinian Minister of Information. Amro is now the Palestinian Ambassador in Cairo and is one of the close figures to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas.


Can you spot the differences?

Does it all really matter?
