Report zur globalen Intifada

6 reporters and 36 Palestinians were injured in the demonstration in Jerusalem Friday. In Bil'in and Wad Rahhal and other localities, Palestinian demonstrators and international supporters voiced strong support for the people's revolution in Egypt and vowed to attend planned demonstrations Saturday which are happening in hundreds of cities around the world (including Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Ramallah; see below). Here is a short (<3 minute) video of what happened to us in Wad Rahhal today.

Thugs AKA security services paid for by US taxpayers run over peaceful demonstrators.

Egypt: how to negotiate the transition. Lessons from Poland and China

Unrest Rises in Jordan, but Few Expect Revolt
(few expected revolts in Tunisia and Egypt and in Eastern Europe under communism or South Africa under apartheid etc)

A Jewish Group Makes Waves, Locally and Abroad
"The group's views differ markedly from statements about the Egyptian protests coming from the Israeli government and many other Jewish-American organizations, which caution that the demonstrations in Cairo could ultimately threaten Israel."

As usual, politicians and mainstream media are behind the wave. Now even CNN is upset over the methodical attack on journalists by the Mubarak thugs (paid for by the US administration)

Palestinian Popular Committees Against the Israeli Occupation stand with the Egyptian people in their revolt

Meanwhile Palestinian authority figures violated Palestinian law by disrupting a demonstration in Ramallah (and in turn organized paid people to show support for Mubarak) but more demonstrations in support of the Egyptian people are planned Saturday (5 February) at 2 PM in Ramallah (Al-Manara area), Bethlehem (Nativity Square), Jerusalem (Damascus Gate) and other locations.
