(21 Oct 2000) Natural Sound
Thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese demonstrated in Lebanon on Saturday.
They're condemning the continuous Israeli bloodshed in the Palestinian territories and asking the participants of the Arab summit in Egypt to come up with a unified position concerning the Israeli-Palestinian clashes in the West Bank and Gaza strip.
In Beirut, a sit-in was organised by Lebanese and Palestinian parties in front of the Arab League headquarters.
Demonstrators carrying anti-Israeli banners, urged Arab governments to cut their diplomatic, economic and political ties with Israel.
Also in Tyre, thousands of Palestinian refugees took the streets of Rashidieh camp. Protesters burned the Israeli and the US flag and called for the Arab Summit to support the creation of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Earlier hours before the beginning of the Arab Summit in Cairo, thousands of Palestinian refugees demonstrated in Ein El Heloueh refugee camp in Sidon, the largest refugee camp in Lebanon.
They called on the Arabs to adopt a firm stand against Israel.
The four thousand protesters who marched through the narrow streets of Ein El Heloueh carried Palestinian flags and anti-Arab Summit banners while chanting anti-Israeli slogans.
U-N, U-S and Israeli flags were burned, as well as effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
