That square in Ramallah
Hussein Ibish has just informed me that the square in Ramallah (the West Bank capital), which caused an uproar last year (and a small tumult when Meretz USA visited there in March) because it was named for a terrorist, was actually so named ten years ago! Dr. Ibish indicated that an Israeli TV crew found it less than a year ago, and touched off a firestorm against the current Palestinian Authority leadership, which had nothing to do with this ill-considered decision.
