"Gazans are being slaughtered while the people of Ramallah are dancing" was the common phrase in Palestinian discourse this week, against the backdrop of the grand opening of the largest mall in the territories, "Icon Mall," in the town of Surda, north of Ramallah, on Sunday. The festive event included music performances, dancing, and fireworks, accompanied by the presence of senior officials from the Palestinian Authority and Fatah. Crowds, primarily young people, flocked to the shops and flooded social media with photos of their purchases, captioned: "This is not Dubai - this is Ramallah."
