From Ma'an:
Palestinian Authority police have dispersed two fights in the southern West Bank city of Hebron and the nearby Nuba village, detaining 15 suspected of involvement.You mean, Hebron - the town of 70,000 Arabs held hostage by a few hundred Jews - has a swimming pool? But I thought that the settlers stole all the water of the West Bank for their own wasteful swimming pools and the poor Palestinian Arabs had none to drink, let alone swim in!
Police said a fight broke out at a public swimming pool, where suspects used clubs and pelted one another with stones. Five sustained various injuries, and five others were detained.
Here's a photo of a pool in Hebron that I somehow managed to find last year when the BBC had written a story about how Palestinian Arab water was all taken by evil Israelis.
And that is hardly the only swimming pool in the territories.
Remember this?
Family fun for Nakba day
Well, you are in luck, because there are lots of ways to spend Nakba weekend after you are finished your rock throwing and molotov cocktail hurling!
For example, you can go to the Haddad Park and Tourist Village in Jenin:
Or you can take your family to Bananaland, in Jericho:
Perhaps you'd like to visit the Ein Almarj Tourist Resort in Ramallah (click to see video):
In fact, you can browse through over five pages of places to visit, many with pools filled with water that is too scarce to drink, by looking at the Playgrounds and Amusement Park section of the Palestine Yellow Pages.
After all, you need to relax so you can get the strength to scream at the world how oppressed you are.
