[Marxism] Arab World Losing Tolerance For Indifferent Leaders





When people feel there is no justice in the world and no legitimate outlet
for their justified frustration, things tend to boil over. And that's what
happened at a huge anti-Israel, pro-Hamas demonstration in the Yemeni capital
of
Sana'a.

By Roshan Muhammed Salih

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 - "_Press TV_
(http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=79750&sectionid=3510303) " -- -More than
30,000 people crammed into the main Yemeni
soccer stadium on Sunday to express their solidarity with the suffering
masses in Gaza. The day before Yemenis had been glued to their television
screens
watching the scenes of suffering that followed Israeli air strikes. Dead
bodies in the streets, dismembered body parts strewn everywhere, the cries of
the
wounded and the grieving -- scenes Western viewers were only allowed to
witness in part.

The people of Sana'a displayed amazing solidarity and love for their Muslim
brethren, dressed up in Hamas green and waving the Islamic movement's
emblematic flags. Pictures of the assassinated former Hamas leaders Sheikh
Ahmed
Yassin and Abdel Aziz al Rantisi were everywhere. The crowd chanted
anti-Israel
slogans and supported the right of Gazans to resist the Israeli occupation.

Up until then it was an impressive, lively, yet in its way, quite
predictable demonstration. Then something strange happened.
