Thousands of Palestinians are marching from Ramallah towards Jerusalem as IDF reportedly uses live fire to try to turn them back. At Least 1 Palestinian has been killed and 21 wounded.

 

Thousands of Palestinians are marching from Ramallah towards Jerusalem now, Ha'aretz has just reported.

"Palestinian ambulances, blaring their horns, are streaming in the opposite direction, carrying protesters wounded by IDF fire at the Kalandia checkpoint," Ha'aretz says.

Update 3:45 pm CDT – Ha'aretz is now reporting that one Palestinian has been killed and 21 wounded in clashes at the Qalandiyah (sometimes spelled "Kalandia") checkpoint in the West Bank.

Update 4:20 pm CDT – Two Palestinians were killed tonight in clashes with police in East Jerusalem as thousands of West Bank Palestinians marched on Jerusalem. Dozens of Palestinians were wounded, seven of them seriously. Additionally, there have been sporadic riots tonight by Arabs across East Jerusalem. At least two policeman have been injured, as well. (Ha'aretz)

Update 6:10 pm CDT –  Ha'aretz reports that Palestinian media is reporting two deaths at the Qalandiyah checkpoint, Mohammad Al Araj, 19, and Majed Sufian, 27, while Palestinian medical sources say that more than ten of those wounded there were brought to the hospital in critical condition.

About 60 people in all were wounded by live fire, and other by what likely was rubber bullet fire.

Fatah's armed wing, the Al-Aqsa Brigades, is reportedly claiming responsibility for the attacks on Israel security forces at the Qalandiyah checkpoint that led to Israel police and security forces firing on the mob.

Meanwhile, Palestinians in East Jerusalem are reporting dozens of Palestinian rioters have been wounded in clashes with police, including four wounded by live gunfire. So far, 39 Palestinian rioters have reportedly been arrested by police.

Just blast these clowns with water and tear gas.

[Alter Kocker]

They want enough footage for the news nets to be able to call Israel a mass murderer. Turn them back, but do not fire on them. Water cannons and rubber bullets. DO NOT let the right wing go out and fire on civilians. The palestinian spin doctors are working overtime to brand Israel as genocidal. They would like nothing more than a UN resolution which would put troops on the ground in Gaza to oppose the Israeli army. This is a trap.

I hope they use that stink spray on them. It's such a great weapon. They could just spray into their path.

Tonight is the 27th of Ramadan, the night jerusalem is most full in the whole year, w/ West Bank worshippers. Israel declared aqsa closed. Just an added to your updates..

[Jake]

I suggest they attempt to over run Israeli positions. Riot in W Jerusalem and riot in settlements. That will lead to a good day.

[Lubavitchers Are Christians]

They're either rioting against metzitzah bepeh or against the Zioinst Jews n the USA who have destroyed the US economy......

(like Schumer, Bernanke, Yellen, Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Bloomberg, Madoff, George Soros, Gefen, Lew, Feinstein, Boxer, Carl Levin, Barney Frank, Spitzer, Axelrod, Weiner, Al Franken, Bernie Sanders, Debbie Wasserman Schultz)

And once again, I ask the following question: WHY THE IRRATIONAL HATRED TOWARDS JEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD? ARE WE REALLY THAT BAD?!?!
