Qatari Prince Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani sent $9 million worth of medicines, medical supplies, foodstuffs and fuel for the operation of hospital generators in the Gaza Strip. Qatari ambassador Mohammed Al-Emadi held a press conference to announce the grant.
What could be wrong with that?
Apparently, the janitorial staff that is on strike for non payment of their salaries protested Al Emadi's visit and besieged his car.
Apparently they were upset that he didn't address their plight in his speech. He responded that only the PA is responsible for their salaries.
It is weird enough, although common, for Palestinian Arabs to protest the very people who are helping them.They protest UNRWA and the Red Cross regularly, often shutting down offices that help their own people.
But even weirder is that Fatah was proud of this protest, putting it up on their Facebook page, twice. As best as I can tell, any protest that appears to be against Hamas is worth publicizing - even if the entire reason the protesters aren't getting paid is because the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority refuses to.
At any rate, Fatah is supporting protesting those giving their own people millions.
It is a special kind of sickness.
