Palestinians Plan "Warm" Welcome for Obama
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - When U.S. President Barack Obama comes to the Middle East later this month, Palestinian activists are planning anti-U.S. demonstrations in Palestinian cities, particularly outside the place in Ramallah where Obama is scheduled to meet with PA President Mahmoud Abbas. Activists said they would try to block the roads leading to the location of the meeting to protest against U.S. "bias in favor of Israel." Some activists have even prepared American flags and portraits of Obama that would be set on fire in front of TV crews covering the visit. Through protests against Obama, Palestinians are hoping to bring their issue back to the top of the U.S. list of priorities. They are also hoping to humiliate Obama for not being supportive enough of the Palestinians.
