Intifadah has shown Palestinians their own strength

Context added by this archive

A Boston paper, one year in, writing the uprising as something that happened to the Palestinians rather than something done to them — and the thing it did was show them what they had. The same edition carried two of them killed by Israeli troops (CP-1988-031). The paper spells it Intifadah; the Times Colonist the same day spells it intifada (CP-1988-032).
