Arabs celebrate Hebron self-rule
News Wire Services
Transcribed from the clipping
“HEBRON, West Bank — Hundreds of Palestinian school children waving flags and posters of Yasser Arafat marched through Hebron yesterday to celebrate the start of self-rule… ‘It was a dream and now we are realizing some of our hopes,’ said a smiling Fathi Jarradat as he watched the parade go by. ‘What you see here is the foundation of a Palestinian state. I hope now my children will have a better chance than I ever did.’”
Context added by this archive
The dateline is HEBRON, West Bank. Occupied has gone. Two other things happen on this page: the headline says Arabs while the story says Palestinian six times, and Jibril Rajoub is quoted on the 500 Jewish settlers living amid Hebron's 140,000 Palestinians.
