Hamas’s Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar, in a rare televised address on Thursday, called for Friday to be a “red bloody day,” following the day’s United Nations vote against US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Sinwar called on “the people of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Palestinians everywhere, to spring into action on Friday so it will be a red bloody day for the occupation,” he said in the speech, broadcast on Al-Aqsa Television.

“I call for turning Friday into a decisive day in the struggle of our people to bring down the decision of Trump,” he added, speaking before a crowd of Gazan youth.

Amid fears in the terror group’s ranks that violent Palestinian protests against Trump’s December 6 announcement were fading, Sinwar gave specific instructions to would-be attackers in an explicit bid to fan the flames in the West Bank.

1. The goal is for Palestinian women and children to be brutally murdered, so I guess this was

a success for our neocons.

Oh, and Israeli's will be killed as well, rank and file Israeli's dont want this, only their neocon criminal fuck leader does.

[Marengo]

4. Dont the majority of Israelis support the declaration of Jerusalem as the capital?

[Mosby]

5. Yes, and most Jews and the US congress.

And the Democratic party.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. American Jewish support isn't that clear cut

See Question 15 in this survey of American Jews:
https://www.ajc.org/survey2017

15. Regarding a possible move of the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which of the following courses of action do you most support?
Move the Embassy to Jerusalem immediately 16
Move the Embassy to Jerusalem at a later date in conjunction with progress in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks 36
Not move the embassy 44
Not sure 4

You only get to 50% support if you include the 36% who want it moved later in conjunction with progress in I-P peace talks.

2. trumps MO...destroy something so completely that anything you do to..

....make it even a little better seems like a miraculous 'fix'.... enter Jared...

3. Being called a "terror group" in the first paragraph kind of gives away some BIAS.

Clearly in context the statement was simply rhetorical.

The massive violence that did NOT erupt is troubling the biased editors of this paper it seems...and many others who are upset about the muted response.
The whole world knows the fake Trump regime is a dead regime walking.

[Mosby]

6. everyone considers Hamas a terror group.

[angstlessk]

7. So was the IRA...look at them now.

Politics changed their way of doing things.

[Mosby]

11. Hamas is not a state. Hamas is a terrorist organization - Barack Obama

[Cold War Spook]

9. Not Palestinians

who gave Hamas a majority of seats. If you consider how many civilians have been killed in the Middle East, the US would be at or near the top of the list.

[Mosby]

10. that was more than 10 years ago

And after the legislative election Hamas illegally took over the Gaza Strip.

"Hamas is not a state. Hamas is a terrorist organization,”.... President Barack Obama

Do you disagree with PBO?

12. No more than Israel is.

June 8, 1967. To keep the US from knowing it was taking the Golan Heights, Israel attacked a US spy ship to keep it from listening in on Israeli movements. The problem is, there weren't any Hebrew linguists aboard the USS Liberty, only Russian linguists. But that doesn't make any difference, they intentionally murdered 34 US Marines and Sailors. How do I know? I was a Russian linguist in the Army Security Agency.
