The march was smaller and more peaceful that the one on May 10, when the ultranationalists were diverted from Damascus Gate at the last minute amid clashes with Palestinians that spread to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Hamas, the political and militia force in Gaza that considers itself the protector of Jerusalem and its Muslim holy sites, unleashed volleys of missiles into Israel that night, triggering an 11-day war that killed 263 Palestinians and 13 Israelis.
Israel went on high alert on Monday, when Hamas asked Israel to stop the march. “The flags march is like an explosive that will cause a new campaign to protect Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to ignite,” Hamas spokesman Abd al-Latif Qanou said in a statement. The march was seen as an early test of Mr. Bennett, a right-wing nationalist who partly earned his credentials by taking a hard-line stance against Palestinians. He opposes Palestinian statehood and supports Israel’s annexation of much of the West Bank.
Speaking to the media in the late afternoon at Damascus Gate, Ahmad Tibi, the Knesset’s senior Arab lawmaker, called the marchers “crazy people who are celebrating the occupation of the Palestinian people.”
Juvenile provocateurs, who have the big guy behind them to back them up. Middle eastern shit disturbers for the rich and the military industrial complex. Don't hate for other peoples money, especially the ones who don't give a shit about you, their greed and power isall they care
Thousands of settler Jews marched provacatively in the streets of East Jerusalem shouting 'Death to Arabs' on the same day a writer tried to make it look that Palestinians in Toronto had shouted 'Death to Jews' without mentioning names or producing video of these so-called Pals.
A) they are not 'ultra Nationalists' B) this is an event that has happened for decades celebrating Jerusalem being unified under its rightful people - a Jewish city established long before Islam even existed. Get a history book.
I’m confused. Only Muslims can protest
If they are “ultranationalists” (whatever that means) what is Hamas? Globalists?
