| And now for a moment of normalcy, in which yet another ruling class completely misreads the citizenry. |
The strike, which sees much of Ramallah, Hebron and other Paleostinian cities closed, comes hours before Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...is due to address the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
A few thousand people protest outside the Social Security Corporation in Ramallah, where Abbas’s government is based.
Under the proposed system, both private employers and their employees will pay monthly into a government-managed fund, with employees receiving a pension when they retire.
The government says it will provide new security for employees, arguing similar systems exist in countries across the globe.
Protesters say they do not trust the Paleostinian government to manage the fund and point out there are no guarantees.
