Funny, but I do not recall even one photo of “palestinian pacifists” protesting against the use of violence against Israeli targets. I always assumed it was, in part, because people were afraid to protest in the palestinian controlled territories against the terrorists’ violence at all , but the above picture and caption show that this is not the case.

Why does the sign say “no” in English (or Spanish I suppose) rather than the Arabic letters for “la”?
It couldn’t possibly be that this demonstation is a show for the foreign press could it?
Great find Dave. A pacifist neo-Pal. Can we have a picture of a snowball in hell next?
I’m with Kibi…. that sign was for foreign consumption only.
