Palestinians are not merely the PA's political appendages

Ramona Wadi- Using violence against legitimate protesters is not only proof of the PA's authoritarian strategy, but is also reminiscent of the times that Palestinians have been left unprotected

These PR stunts by PA officials alongside the relatives of Palestinian prisoners are pathetic attempts to portray the leadership as being involved actively in anti-colonial resistance.
