HEAVY POLICE DETACHMENTS PATROLLED THIS ARAB CITY’S STREETS TODAY AS A MOSLEM RELIGIOUS CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF NEBI (PROPHET) REUBEN WAS CONVERTED INTO A HUGE ARAB NATIONALIST DEMONSTRATION.
SIMILAR DEMONSTRATIONS, TO EMPHASIZE ARAB OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED TRIPARTITION OF PALESTINE, WERE HELD IN THE NEARBY TOWN OF RAMLEH. MOSLEM MOSQUES HERE AND IN RAMLEH WERE THE FOCAL POINTS FOR THE THRONGS OF DEMONSTRATORS.
JEWISH-OWNED BUSES TRAVELED THEIR ACCUSTOMED ROUTES CONSPICUOUSLY EMPTY OF PASSENGERS DURING THE DEMONSTRATIONS.
