Ha’aretz reports:
Israeli Arab leaders were sorely disappointed by the poor turnout at a procession in memory of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat held in Nazareth on Saturday.
The most optimistic estimate says 1,500 people marched in the procession, while some said only 800 attended.Officials also said the procession was timed poorly, coming one day after Arafat’s funeral, a climatic moment for the Arab public.
A memoral procession held after the death of the subject. What were the organizers thinking?!?!
But in all seriousness, I think the timing could have been better. It should have been held over twenty years ago.
