OLD WORLD COVERED
Snow means peace in Baghdad ... and also in Ramallah:
Men in long Arab robes pelted each other with snowballs in the Jordanian capital, Amman, and the West Bank city of Ramallah, seat of the Palestinian government, came to a standstill.
“I’m originally from Gaza where snow never falls,” said Bothaina Smairi, 28, who was out in Ramallah taking photographs. “The white snow is covering the old world and I feel like I am in a new world where everything is white, clean, and beautiful.”
All those years of conflict ... and the place only ever needed just a little global coolening. There’s plenty to go around.
