On Monday night, Feb. 25 Knesset member Ahmad Tibi made his way from Ramallah to his second home in east Jerusalem’s Beit Hanina neighborhood, after spending most of the day recording promotional broadcasts for the Palestinian reality show "The Rais."
Outside the studio the streets were still raging in the wake of the death of prisoner Arafat Jaradat in the Meggido prison. Tibi told me he thinks that the riots breaking out in the West Bank are harbingers of the renewal of a popular Palestinian struggle. This kind of development, he says, will surely make "The Rais" a hit.
