From a piece in the Jerusalem Post: “A Palestinian journalist in Nablus

says that the attitude toward Saddam began shifting when Palestinians saw on

the Arab TV stations all the palaces the Iraqi president had built for

himself and his cronies while his people were starving. … “The people are

very angry with Saddam because they weren’t aware that he was such a big

dictator,” the journalist explains. “I myself feel like taking a shoe and

hitting all the Arab leaders on their heads.”
