Bin Laden Figurine a Hit with Palestinians

(Jerusalem Post) - Khaled Abu Toameh A figurine of Osama bin Laden that is used as a key ring and sells for $1 is the latest hit in Palestinian markets in the West Bank and Gaza. According to a shopkeeper in Ramallah, the huge demand reflects anti-U.S. sentiment among Palestinians. "People here are very angry at the U.S. because it is totally biased in favor of Israel and because it is waging a war against Islam," he said. "In addition, you can say that many people regard Osama bin Laden to be a hero." Posters of bin Laden can still be seen hanging on the walls of refugee camps and university campuses in the West Bank and Gaza.
