Palestinians clash with Israeli troops ahead of 'day of rage' at Trump's Jerusalem mo

[charley]

RAMALLAH, West Bank Palestinian protesters and Israeli soldiers clashed Thursday in Jerusalem, Ramallah and other places in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with some demonstrators burning American flags and posters of President Trump a day after he sided with Israel by ​

announcing U.S. recognition

of Jerusalem as its capital.

More than 100 people were injured Thursday, according to the Palestine Red Crescent, despite the deployment of several extra battalions of Israeli troops. The critical test comes Friday, when larger demonstrations are expected as crowds leave mosques after the weekly noon prayers.

Trump's announcement Wednesday that he would move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and his declaration that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital reversed a decades-old U.S. policy. But the status of the city holy to Christians, Muslims and Jews and struggled over for millennia is a deeply charged issue that resonates beyond the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. Trump has never understood the history of the Middle East.

Turkey's president predicted that the region would ignite in a "ring of fire," while European leaders reiterated their opposition to the policy, and 86-year-old Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu declared, "God is weeping."

In some places, notably Gaza, protesters set fire to images of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and to U.S. and Israeli flags.

"Trump made the wrong decision," said Sarah Louay, 15, who was making her way toward the demonstration carrying a Palestinian flag. "We will raise our voices for Jerusalem."

Clashes also erupted in East Jerusalem and at the border fence between Israel and Gaza. In Bethlehem, tear gas filled streets that were strung with festive lights for Christmas. At one of the main checkpoints between Jerusalem and Ramallah, soldiers fired sponge bullets at children throwing stones from behind metal trash containers.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh called for a new uprising in the Palestinian territories and declared Friday a day of rage."Tomorrow should be a day of rage and the beginning of a broad movement for an uprising that I call the intifada of freedom of Jerusalem," he said.​

Not too sure what that was about. When he started slurring, it seemed like his right side of his face was not moving and his head leaned to his right. Then at the very end, it looked as if he was wearing dentures and it came loose.

... so if you're a Israeli Nationalist, you may be right,,, but for 98% of the middle east it's a nightmare... yo Z. I'm for the jews ,, but this was a dumb uneducated move on trumpy's part... it's mostly for evangelical Christians is the USA... it's because the 'end of the world' begins with Israel being destroyed, then comes the 'end of time' for Christians & they all go to see GOD !!!

.. Don't wait for Rob to explain, he doesn't read, If Fox news doesn't say it ain't true...

President Trump summed up a central reason for declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel one of the most consequential and globally risky decisions of his presidency in a single statement. Trump doesn't know the history of the world, or the Jews and Arabs.

The decision may have alarmed prime ministers, presidents, kings and their subjects around the world. But it fit neatly into Trump's political calculus and personal view of his mandate. It's a gift for the

evangelical Christians​

in America, another promise made to his donors.

In his view, he is the president who pushes through toward historic change while those around him urge equivocation. He is the president who bluntly scorns the judgment of elites. And he is the president who tallies promises kept.

Especially important are promises to the voters Trump sees as his base, who include a strong majority of evangelical Christians.

But those who support the idea are passionate and influential. That includes a large number of evangelical Christians, as well as some prominent conservative Jews, notably Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who is one of the most important donors in the Republican Party.

Ben-Ami credits Adelson and other conservative Jewish donors, banded with evangelicals, for forcing the issue to the center of Republican politics.

Sheldon Adelson gets what he wants by buying 'right-wing' politicians such as Trump.

It's either oil or some other resource. All this isn't happening out of kindness from the heart.

In 1995 congress, both house and senate, passed a bill recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by overwhelming majorities. Clinton, Bush and Obama simply kicked the ball down the road, Trump picked it up and ran with it. This sort of fighting is near-constant in the region, it doesn't get the airtime because it's so common. 69 years of doing the same thing hasn't made anything better over there. Maybe it's time for something different and this could be it.

Trump rejected pleas from Pope Francis and world leaders in reversing 70 years of American foreign policy by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, saying it was the reality on the ground and should not prevent a deal between Israel and Palestinians.

The European Union has a clear and united position. We believe the only realistic solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine is based on two states and with Jerusalem as the capital of both,EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini ​

told a news conference

.

Reverberations from President Donald Trump's recognition of reality to accept Jerusalem as the capital of Israel spread with Islamic group Hamas calling for a new ​

intifada in the face of the Zionist enemy

and the UN Security Council ​

summoned to meet

on the crisis provoked by the historic shift by Washington.

We should call for and we should work on launching an intifada in the face of the Zionist enemy, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said in a speech in Gaza reported by Reuters.

Saudi Arabia, which Trump has hailed as a key diplomatic partner in the Middle East, described the recognition as irresponsible and unwarranted.

In an ​

official statement from the Saudi royal court(Arabnews.com)

whose members have particular importance in Sunni Islam as the defacto leaders of the sect said: The Kingdom expresses its denunciation and deep regret that the (Trump) administration has taken this step, as it represents a great bias against the historic and permanent rights of the Palestinian people in Jerusalem, which have been affirmed by the relevant international resolutions and have been recognized and supported by the international community.​

King Abdullah II (corrected from III) of Jordan said

Jerusalem was the key to achieving peace and stability in the region and the world, and that the move would have dangerous repercussions for the stability and security of the region.
