(Times of Israel) Khaled Abu Toameh - A U.S. delegation visiting Ramallah in the West Bank, that included New York City Council members and civil society groups, had to be rescued by PA policemen on Thursday after being attacked with eggs by Palestinian protesters. "America is the head of the snake" and "Americans are not welcome in Palestine," the protesters chanted. PA anti-riot policemen escorted the U.S. guests to a police van that took them to a secure location. The U.S. State Department said: "This type of action is unmistakably counterproductive to Palestinian interests; it serves only to ensure that Americans are unable to hear or consider Palestinian perspectives."
