Repression in Ramallah

Palestinians on FB and Twitter have been outraged over the repression by Israeli-sponsored security forces in Ramallah.  As some of you may have learned, Ramallah Oslo police forces have been repressing protests by Palestinian youth who were outraged over the impending visit by Mofaz to Abu Mazen.  I heard from young Palestinian activists in Ramallah and they want the world to know about their plight.  But there is barely any coverage of that: Israeli clients always get favorable coverage in the Western press.  I remember that South Lebanon Army (one of the most worst torturing militias in the history of civil war) was treated in the US press like a scout group.

PS The visit by Mofaz was only cancelled because of the expression of outrage by Palestinian youths.
