The opposition leaders failed the people, but the people did not fail Palestine. As soon as Friday prayers were over in Al Husseini Mosque, hundreds gathered and started chanting: �Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar!� (God is Greater, God is Greater!). A street storm was brewing. Thousands began to pour in to join in a moment of true freedom. The protest was totally leaderless and disorganized. Even the independent activists who took the lead in the protests that occurred at the beginning of the Intifada in October and November had a rather weak showing. The whole thing did not last a few minutes, maybe ten, maybe fifteen. Then, the attack began. An army of undercover policemen and special anti-riot troops launched their onslaught at the heart of the protest from several directions. Several young men were dragged away to an unknown destiny. Several protestors were beaten senseless to the ground. "Without a Peoples Army the people have nothing" Mao _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
