Obama gets peace prize as Jeruslaem boils with anger

Maan reports thousands gathering in Gaza, West Bank and Syria to protest Jerusalem outrages. There is also a protest ongoing at the UN Human Rights Council head office in Switzerland. Clashes also reported in Ramallah. Police attack protesters in East Jerusalem.

Also, on a more surreal note, Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace prize - for what? Making a speech in Cairo that said some nice things about Islam? Suspect this prize is for NOT being George Bush, and little else.
Gaza, October 9, 2009, (Pal Telegraph)-Scores of protesters from the Palestinian, Arab and European communities marched in front of the headquarters of UN Human Rights Council in protest against the decision to postpone the vote on Richard Goldstone's report which accuses Israel of perpetrating war crimes against Palestinians. Member of the European Campaign to End Siege on Gaza, Anwar Al Gharbi said in the protest that this move aims at sending a message of objection against what happened.

"We are very upset about the postponement of the report which was about to pave the way for the condemnation of the Israeli occupation by committing crimes against the Palestinians. We are shocked and furious over the decision of Palestinian Authority to postpone the report for Six months. Palestinian Authority saved the occupation from court." Said Al Gharbi.
