"Dalia sent me this: "so al manar was showing clips of enormous protests in jordan (this friday’s slogan is “don’t you understand?” ألا تفهمون؟, ) not just against wadi ‘araba, tarawneh, the entity’s embassy, but importantly for palestinian and jordanian political prisoners on hunger strike. UPI arabic says there were thousands: , protesters were telling tarawneh, one of the architects of wadi ‘araba: "يا فايز روح إرتاح، ما رح تنفع للإصلاح"
here’s the al-ghad story (copied below; UPI’s won’t copy):
in the meantime, the guardian is re-assuring us that protests in jordan are against tarawneh, but he need not worry, because they’re small and peaceful and state repression is “mild by middle eastern standards”… how racist is this?! don’t they mean by western-supported “moderate” dictator standards?"
