Palestinians seethed with anger and a sense of betrayal over U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize the disputed city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Many heard the death knell for the long-moribund U.S.-sponsored talks aimed at ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel. They also said more violence could erupt.

“Trump wants to help Israel take over the entire city. Some people may do nothing, but others are ready to fight for Jerusalem,” said Hamad Abu Sbeih, 28, an unemployed resident of the walled Old City.

Many heard the death knell for the long-moribund U.S.-sponsored talks aimed at ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel. They also said more violence could erupt.

“Trump wants to help Israel take over the entire city. Some people may do nothing, but others are ready to fight for Jerusalem,” said Hamad Abu Sbeih, 28, an unemployed resident of the walled Old City.

“This decision will ignite a fire in the region. Pressure leads to explosions,” he said.

Jerusalem — specifically its eastern Old City, home to important shrines of Judaism, Christianity and Islam — is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israeli captured Arab East Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East War then later annexed it in a move not recognized internationally. Palestinians want it to be the capital of a future independent state and resolution of its status is fundamental to any peace-making.

Trump is due to announce later on Wednesday that the United States recognizes the city as Israel’s capital and will move its embassy there from Tel Aviv, breaking with longtime policy..

“This is insane. You are speaking about something fateful. Jerusalem is the capital of the state of Palestine and neither the world nor our people will accept it,” said Samir Al-Asmar, 58, a merchant from the Old City who was a child when it fell to Israel.

“It will not change what Jerusalem is. Jerusalem will remain Arab. Such a decision will sabotage things and people will not accept it.”

Palestinian newspapers also decried the move.

“Trump Defies the World,” thundered Al-Ayyam. Another, Al-Hayat, roared “Jerusalem is the Symbol of Palestinian Endurance” in a red-letter headline over an image of the city’s mosque compound flanked by Palestinian flags.

Palestinian leaders have also warned the move could have dangerous consequences. Although winter rains dampened protests called for East Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank and Hamas-dominated Gaza Strip, few doubted fresh bloodshed now loomed.

Israeli security forces braced for possible unrest but police said the situation in Jerusalem was calm for now.

That could quickly change, given the religious passions that swirl around the Old City, where Al Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third-holiest shrine, abuts the Western Wall prayer plaza, a vestige of two ancient Jewish temples.

Palestinians mounted two uprisings, or intifadas, against Israeli occupation from 1987 to 1993 then from 2000 to 2005, the latter ignited by a visit by then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to the shrine area, known to Jews as Temple Mount.

Violent confrontations also took place in July this year after Israel installed metal detectors at the entrance to the

Al Aqsa compound. Four Palestinians and three Israelis were killed, as well as two policemen shot dead by gunmen.

ANGRY IN GAZA

In the Palestinian coastal enclave of Gaza, demonstrators chanted “Death to America”, “Death to Israel” and “Down with Trump”. They also burned posters depicting the U.S., British and Israeli flags.

Youssef Mohammad, a 70-year-old resident of a refugee camp, said Trump’s move would be a test for Arab leadership at a time of regional chaos and shifting alliances.

“Let him do it. Let’s see what Arab rulers and kings will do. They will do nothing because they are cowards,” the father of eight said.

The Jerusalem uproar could affect Egyptian-brokered efforts to bring Gaza, which has been under Islamist Hamas control for a decade, back under the authority of U.S.-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who favors negotiation with Israel.

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said Trump’s planned moved showed the United States was biased.

“The United States was never a neutral mediator in any cause of our people. It has always stood with the occupation (Israel),” he said.

He said Abbas’ administration should “rid itself of the illusion that rights can be achieved through an American-backed deal”.

      1. Doesn’t Dumbyad want all of Israel destroyed? With or without Jerusalem? 🙂

        1. Can’t say what she want, however she hates the Jews, Zionists regardless if they are Christian or Jewish.
          Visit her Twitter account so you will understand what I mean.

          Just some 30 minutes ago she twittered about Erdogan; [Hind Abyad @AbyadHind]
          “Trump’s Jerusalem move may prove blessing for Erdogan”.

          Trying to hang on my comments about this new dictator.

      Cut the crap..lets talk about your Jewish bible.

      “It should be noted that in the biblical text, Isaac (like Jesus) is repeatedly called “the only son” of Abraham (Genesis 22.2., 12., 16.) even though Abraham actually has another, older son, Ishmael.

      Moses orders Levite fanatics to murder 3000 golden-calf enthusiasts.
      (Exodus 32.27,29)

      “‘Today,’ Moses said, ‘you have consecrated yourself to Yahweh, at the cost
      of your sons and brothers. And so he bestows a blessing on you today.’”

      When the Lord says kill everyone He means EVERYONE!
      Saul loses out:

      “You didn’t kill enough,” says the Lord. “You can’t be king!”

            And Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the oxen that I hear?” … Then Samuel said, “Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites.” And Agag came to him cheerfully … And Samuel hacked Agag to pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. And the LORD regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.”

            In the original article with this foto on “http://samanews.ps” you will not find the ridiculous “colonists try to pull Palestinian teenager apart”.

            A group of settlers attacked a number of farmers and foreign solidarity activists as they were heading to their land near the settlement of Susiya, south of Hebron, on Monday, injuring three citizens and a foreign solidarity worker. Ismail al-Adra, one of the owners of the land, said that 10 settlers attacked them while they were on their way to their land and assaulted them and beaten them, wounding him with bruises and bruises. Saber al-Adra was wounded in the nose by a bullet to his face. Musa al-Aida and a foreign solidarity activist were also photographed. Different. He added that the citizens were forced to defend themselves when they found settlers attacking them with sharp tools, which led to a quarrel between the two sides, in which the four citizens and some settlers were wounded. The occupation authorities tried to accuse the farmers, claiming that they attacked the settlers, while the residents of the area south of Hebron to the attacks of settlers, who are prevented from access to their land and flattened. The Israeli occupation forces detained a number of farmers, while Israeli sources said that the settlers were wounded in the face and head and taken to the Hadassah Ein Karem hospital in Jerusalem for treatment.

            She keeps mentioning phone calls. Today she was like, “You call everyday, or 2 days, sometimes 2-3 times a day (such efforts changing numbers is useless)”. I’m starting to suspect paranoid schizophrenia. Who do these symptoms remind you of:

            “Some people with schizophrenia may invent new words (neologisms), repeat a single word or phrase out of context (verbal stereotypy), or use ordinary words to which they attribute a different, special meaning (metonyms).”

            “Delusions: These are false beliefs that a person has and most people from the same culture would agree that they are wrong. Even when the wrongness of the belief is explained, a person with schizophrenia is convinced that they are true.”

          7. She is traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

            Her concern over multiple nics, that email spam box and the copy/paste of past comments, sometimes over a year ago. I’m thinking she does need a tweak or two from a shrink.

            If Trump can ask “Why are we having all these people from s***hole countries come here?”

            Than I too can ask why are we having all these s***hole Palestinian Arabs like Ahmad A., the assassin from Hamburg, that was proud of what he had done.
