Ha'aretz reports that "several hundred" Palestinians marched in Gaza today, "setting fire to U.S. and Israeli flags, and chanting 'Dear Saddam, bomb Tel Aviv.' " Charming, huh?
But not all Palestinians are caught up in this frenzy of hatred and violence. A Jerusalem Post report from Ramallah quotes a 24-year-old Palestinian woman who's been forced to sell her jewelry because of terror-induced economic hardship, and she knows exactly who's to blame: "This intifada has destroyed everything. We are paying a very heavy price and no one seems to care about us. Arafat doesn't care if we sell our jewelry or not. He and his men have billions of dollars."
Similarly, Fox News quotes Atta Sarasara, a father of a 16-year-old suicide bomber, who Fox says "is angry with not just the Israelis, but also with the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades for preying on impressionable teenagers and giving his son a bomb. 'They used a child. He was very kind, handsome, smart. They used him,' Sarasara said."
Middle East Online, a London-based pro-Arab site, reports on the diminishing nightlife in Gaza. A 51-year-old woman named May, buying ice cream with her niece, says: "Thank God we have this little pleasure left, but believe me life used to be so much better before the intifada when we would go out dancing, dining out and even to casinos."
In a sign someone may think peace is in the offing in the not-too-distant future, "Palestinian sources said Thursday that work had begun renovating the Casino in the West Bank city of Jericho," the Jerusalem Post reports, citing Israel Radio. Gambling.com notes that the casino catered mostly to Israelis, since Palestinian Arabs were barred from playing there. "opinionjournal"
