Protestors gather in Palestinian West Bank

Kazakhstan News.Net
Monday 12th January, 2009

West Bank protesters have gathered in the town of Ramallah, to rally against Israel's continued offensive in Gaza.

They have been flocking to support Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza.

Demonstrations have become a daily occurrence across the West Bank since the Israeli assault began more than two weeks ago.

Protestors have accused the government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of being ineffective in helping the Palestinians of Gaza.

Palestinian doctors and nurses have joined marches in central Ramallah to make people aware of mounting casualties.

Protesters have been holding up pictures of defenseless women and children whose houses have been shelled.

So far the protests have been peaceful, with the security forces of the Palestinian Authority out in force

Green flags that symbolize Hamas have been banned by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a well-known moderate who has previously been in negotiations with Israel.

Many Palestinians in the West Bank have long expressed anger at the Abbas government, accusing it of corruption and collaboration with Israel.

Protestors gather in Palestinian West Bank

Based on my observations so far, unfortunately this site has become a vantage point for the Isreali and pro-Israeli fanatics. People obviously devoid of any rational argument and reasoning except that which compliments the state propaganda of Israel. Not to mention the abominably poor spelling and gramatical structure as well. I urge all people possessed of common sense and rational thinking to boycot this web site and not to contribute any material at all, as it is obviously a fruitless exercise. Instead please visit BBC where common sense, rationality and correct spelling prevails.

We need to change before we ask others to change

We, the Palestinian people need to change our mentality of violence. All those firing of rockets and throwing of stones does not accomplish anything. Why can’t we behave like rational human beings. The people who are out chanting and screaming are not the majority of the Palestinians. They are merely the people out to further their own future. They are not out there to better the lives of the Palestinian people. Abbas is our leader for the long haul. Please do not be swayed by HAMAS, they will only bring about the end of the Palestinian people. I truly wish our Palestinian brothers will help attain a PEACEFUL solution very soon. LONG LIVE ABBAS.

The killing of Palestinians by the Israeli Army is just their way of controlling the worlds largest concentration camp.
