Anees writes from Jerusalem:
The compliant Palestinian Authority readily accepted Israel's suppression of yesterday's celebrations. They had known at least a week before that Israel won't allow the main celebration to be here in Jerusalem, and the invites they sent out back then already indicated the Bethlehem location.
Palestinians with two functional neurons were wondering how much more spineless our collaborationist regime can become, by not even daring to celebrate Jerusalem in Jerusalem. A television hook-up was not defiance; defiance would have been to do it all here and face some real heat. I'm just ashamed that Mr Abbas has not yet been shoe'd off. I'm ashamed of the Palestinians who participated in his sham Bethlehem event.
