By: Ismail Zabeeh/ Karim Tellawi
BAGHDAD/ DAMASCUS/ SIDON: Thousands of protesters took to
the streets of Iraqi cities of Baghdad, Basra and Najaf,
Lebanese cities of Beirut and Sidon, Egyptian city of Cairo
and Syrian cities of Damascus and Aleppo on the last Friday of
the fasting month of Ramadan to condemn Israel and demand that
Jerusalem (Al-Qods) be handed over to Palestinian control,
marking the “Day of Al-Qods”.
They showed their support for the Palestinians while chanting
anti-Israeli and anti-American slogans and carrying banners
saying "Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Palestine!
Resistance is our slogan," "Despite our own suffering, we have
not forgotten the Palestinians and Jerusalem" and "We will go
in our millions to Jerusalem as martyrs.”
Effigies of US President Bush and former Israeli prime
minister Ariel Sharon were burned during the demonstrations.

more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
