In Ramallah, under Israeli control since Friday, dozens of European peace activists, their arms raised and holding white flags, marched past Israeli soldiers surrounding Yasser Arafat's office to join the Palestinian leader, saying they would stay with him as human shields.
We're sure the Israelis will be blamed if these goobers end up decomposing. Some people are just plain stupid.
The Ramallah-based International Media Center said 10 members of an international group who marched into Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's compound in the city were arrested by the surrounding troops, and that 33 others remained inside. The army earlier said Ramallah was a closed military zone and that non-residents, including foreign journalists, would be removed by force "if necessary." It said the foreign detainees were being held at a nearby base and could be prosecuted.
Good idea. Lock them up and leave them there until you can get around to them - say, after peace has been restored in the Middle East. |
