Meanwhile, there were large demonstrations demanding the Palestinian dueling authorities (in Ramallah and Gaza) stop political arrests. And while our people are busy with local municipal elections, the Zionists intensify their assault on common decency. Avigdor Lieberman and over 100 settlers came to my town of Beit Sahour Thursday wanting to build a new colonial settlement in the area of Ush Ghrab to be called Shdema. So now the local committee is re-emerging to try to deal with this new challenge. And today (Saturday) Israeli authorities discovered a fairly sophisticated unmanned drone that apparently was hovering in the Neqeb (Negev) area and shot it down. That shook the Israeli public and showed that all the sophisticated military gear in the world will not protect you from such efforts. The world is changing and only justice to the native Palestinians can bring security and peace here.
