Thousands hold pro-Saddam protest in Jenin

By THE JERUSALEM POST INTERNET STAFF

Thousands of Palestinians thronged the center of the West Bank city of Jenin in a demonstration in favor of Saddam Hussein, media reports said.

The protest had been planned as part of a commemoration of the one-year anniversary since Operation Defensive Shield, when dozens of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers were killed as the IDF conducted searches for terrorist hideouts in the Jenin refugee camp.

However, sporadic pro-Saddam protests have been staged in a number of towns in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the past week.

Earlier this week the Palestinian authorities in Jenin renamed the central plaza in the refugee camp to honor the Iraqi suicide bomber, Ali Ja'afar al-Na'mani, who killed four US Marines in an attack outside the southern Iraqi town of Najaf on Saturday.

The IDF should attack the Palis with bulldozers. That tactic always works.

Have these people (and I use the term with extreme generosity) ever done one single useful and productive thing in the last 50 years?
