Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli jail shouted through the barbed wire perimeter of the prison that President Clinton’s peace mission to the Middle East was a sham. “Clinton, you coward, go look for women,” chanted the prisoners, who are continuing a hunger strike in hopes of getting their freedom. Four Palestinians were killed during the past week during a series of violent clashes in the West Bank with Israeli troops over the prisoner issue.
