City seethes amid continuing calls for 'third intifada' as thousands gather to commemorate 11 years since Yasser Arafat’s death.
The new Nutella shop on Zahra street in downtown Ramallah was humming with business on Wednesday.
High school students Nur and her friend Sawsan had come into the city from the town of Katanna for memorial ceremonies marking the anniversary of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s death 11 years ago, but they seemed more interested in consuming large amounts of creamy Nutella atop fresh warm crepes than in discussing politics.
“Yes, we’re having an intifada, but it’s not so bad here. It’s worse in Nablus or Bethlehem. It’s fun to come to Ramallah,†said Nur.
Arafat’s legacy and memory loom large among Palestinians in Ramallah, the sprawling city that functions as a de facto administrative capital for the Palestinian Authority. Graffiti of the former leader dot construction sites and walls. Sometimes he is painted posing with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, other times with Leila Khaled, the iconic female PFLP member who is always shown with her AK-47.

"Alright, but apart from the power, water, medical care and food...what have the Israelis EVER done for us?"
Homeless refuse even Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the rest of the Islamic community doesn’t want in the slightest. Yet they blame all their troubles as black sheep on Israel. Worthless, nationless trash.
“City seethes amid continuing calls for ‘third intifada’ as thousands gather to commemorate 11 years since Yasser Arafat’s death.”
MOAB. Problem solved.
Those posts sum it up.
One thing left out, all those countries that don’t want the Palestinians, they trash Israel for dealing with them exactly like they would have to, if it weren’t for Israel.
I’ve always said, if there was no Israel, those entities would all fall in on each other with no one else to blame for their disgusting existence.
>They get their power , water , medical care , food , etc from Israel
Sounds like an opening to control the breeding of these animals.
Multiple generations of cousin-boffing has left the “Palestinians” on the shallow end of the gene pool. So while their Israeli neighbors invent new medical and IT technologies — they can only devise new ways to strap a bomb to something.
“Aquaducts ok, but apart from that. ... what have the Romans ever done for us?”
Really. Can you forgive your leaders for what they have done to your people? Why does the Arafat Foundation have well over a $billion in Swiss bank accounts?
More and more young Americans are pro-Palistine.
They don’t know what they are talking about.
Pray for Israel and the Great Bibi.
I wanted to smack Zero when they met the other day. Now that IS another miscreant! Obummer.
AND we can’t forgive you for what you have and are doing to Israel....your terrorist...pure and simple!!!
Since when have muslims ever forgiven anyone?
What about Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi, Kuwait, etc.
They’ve never accepted you (as required in some cases by the U.N. Partition.)
kill em all dept. cont’d.
“What about the peace?”
They should commemorate Yasser Arafats death, because that was a good thing.
Ferguson youth: "We can't forgive the police for what the activists told us they've done to our people."
Missouri youth: "We can't forgive the university President for what the professors told us he's done to our people."
Somehow, there is always a Pied Piper involved...
So, nu? You poke a hornet’s nest and you complain to the world you got stung?
How true. Someone should also point out to these idiots that whatever Israel did to their people is child’s place compared to what their so-called “Arab brothers” did to them.
