10,000 Palestinians take to streets of Gaza in support of Saddam
2003-01-17
At least 10,000 Palestinians rallied in Gaza City Friday in support of Iraq and against United States military action against the Gulf state. The demonstrators, supporters of various Palestinian factions, marched Gaza City's main street waving Palestinian and Iraqi flags and carrying posters of Palestinian President Yassir Arafat and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The crowd had gathered at Gaza's Palestine square, after the weekly Moslem Friday prayers held in several mosques in the city. It headed for the yard of the unknown soldier in Remal neighborhood, before arrived at the building of the Palestinian Legislative Council.
The Yard Of The Unknown Soldier?
The demonstrators chanted slogans denouncing U.S. warnings to hit Iraq, shouting "George Bush listen to us, Iraq will never surrender." Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of the Islamic militant Hamas movement, as well as leaders of other political factions, led the demonstration.
Wonder who picked up the tab for organizing this little shindig?

#5  "Iraq will never surrender." So what? I mean, it's just a paperwork thing, right?

#4  Since they blow themselves into pieces very often, the "yard" of the unknown soldier takes on a whole new meaning.

#2  But wait, I thought there was no tie between the palestinian terrorists( of which al queda is just one organization) and iraq? Martin Sheen may not think so, but the people in Gaza seem to think there is.

Have the leftist idiots in holloywood been lying to us? I feel so used..........

#1  "George Bush listen to us, Iraq will never surrender."

I don't think Sheikh Yassin reads the papers.
