| Some 1,500 Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets of Gaza City Friday, October 4, to protest a U.S. law calling for the U.S. embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Occupied Jerusalem, implicitly recognizing the city as Israel's capital. "Jerusalem is our capital!" the demonstrators "Yes! That's it! Fatimah, get me my dynamite belt! We need revenge! Revenge for... for... whatever." "We condemn the U.S. Congress decision and call on Arabs, Muslims and Christians to intervene for an end to the United States' support for the Israeli aggression," Palestinian MP Ibrahim Abu al-Naja told the rally. "Damn that damned Congress! If we had a Congress, we'd damn them, too!" The demonstration was called for by the National and Islamic Forces, an umbrella organization grouping the 13 main Palestinian resistance groups. The coalition, which includes Fatah and Hamas, called Thursday, October 3, for an urgent meeting of the Al-Quds (Jerusalem) committee of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to discuss means of countering the U.S. law. The National and Islamic Forces had also called on all residents of the occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights to "defy the Israeli curfew ... and pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and gather in all the churches in Palestine." "Yeah. Get the Christians in on this. They're usually pretty easy. We can slaughter them later, after the Jews are all dead." |
