Palestinian Leaders Struggle to Mobilize Street Against Israel
(AFP-Daily Mail-UK) With loudspeakers mounted, Palestinian flags unfurled and civil servants allowed off work, everything appeared set for a large protest in Ramallah against prospective Israeli moves in the West Bank. But only 200 people turned up for the June 8 demonstration, in a sign of the struggles the Palestinian Authority (PA) has faced generating outrage on the street. There was a larger rally in Jericho last week, brought to the protest site on buses chartered by the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, but many left even before the speeches began.
