JERUSALEM: Thousands of flag-waving Israeli nationalists marched through the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday in a deeply divisive parade that Palestinian factions warned could re-ignite their conflict with Israel.
"Death to Arabs", some youths shouted as they entered Damascus Gate, the main entrance to the Old City's Muslim neighbourhood."An Arab is a son of a whore," one small group yelled out in front of Jerusalem's ancient walls., a record number for a single day. Some of the visitors wore religious garb and prostrated themselves. A few held up Israeli flags and sang the national anthem.
"The Israel government is fully responsible for all these reckless policies and the following consequences," senior Hamas official Bassem Naim told Reuters. Clashes were reported across the West Bank on Sunday, injuring at least 30 Palestinians, medics said.
