“Palestinians are clashing with Israeli troops in the West Bank a day after deadly clashes killed dozens in the Gaza Strip.
Thick black smoke billowed from burning tires as Palestinians threw stones at Israeli troops, who responded with tear gas. About 200 Palestinians were protesting in the biblical city of Bethlehem while another 100 were demonstrating in the Palestinian city of Ramallah.
Palestinians are marking the anniversary Tuesday of what they call their “nakba,” or catastrophe, a reference to the uprooting of hundreds of thousands who fled or were expelled during the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation.”
A general strike in Gaza and the West Bank was called for this very purpose. Another words no one was to go to work today. Everyone was suppose to engage the IDF and stir themselves into a rage by attending their martyrs-hero-funeral-party.Updated May 15, 2018, 2:19 PM
