Jerusalem, West Bank, Gaza on alert against Palestinian threats - www.debka.com...

Although Monday, March 15, went by without an unusual level of Palestinian violence, aside from sporadic rock-throwing incidents against Israelis, Fatah factions opposed to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas called on the Palestinians of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as well as Israeli Arabs to mark Tuesday as a "Day of Rage."

In the Gaza Strip, Halil al Haya, speaking for the ruling Hamas said "rivers of blood must be caused to flow," while the radical Muslim leaders of the Israeli Arab communities threatened to descend on Jerusalem in force.

Abu Ala, former Palestinian prime minister and peace negotiator with the Olmert government, and Hatem Abdul Qader, head of the Jerusalem desk in the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, said the Day of Rage must be the opening shot for a fresh uprising (intifada) against Israel.


Guessing they're quite angry then....

Palestinian leaders are taking encouragement from the Obama administration's harsh campaign against Israel of the last five days as their big chance to embark on another violent war of "resistance" to Israel. They are convinced that the Jewish state is in such bad odor with its best friend, America, that it will be held responsible for the outbreak by the entire world, even if it is initiated by the Palestinians.


Both sides blame each other as usual, when both are just as responsible.

Monday night, Mahmoud Abbas was still deploying his US-trained Palestinian security forces in an effort to thwart West Bank demonstrators' attempts to forcibly break through heavily-reinforced Israel roadblocks protecting the West Bank approaches to Jerusalem.

But he is laboring under heavy pressure to let large Palestinian mobs fight their way through to Temple Mount.

Israeli security chiefs are taking into account that Abbas might rethink his orders or lose control of the situation, in which case a bloody showdown may ensue between inflamed Palestinian mobs and Israeli security forces. Terrorist squads may also be preparing to launch raids into Israel from the West Bank.

Israeli security chiefs are not ignoring a possible conflagration flaring first Jerusalem or any other part of Israel where security forces are thin on the ground.

Monday night, police began monitoring the traffic on the section of Highway 65 leading out of the Arab Triangle of eastern Israel, the vehicles driving through the Jordan Valley's Highway 90 and along the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem Highway 1. They turned back buses and other vehicles packed with Israeli Arabs heading for Jerusalem.

In the Gaza Strip, Hamas units were seen gearing up for attack, both for launching terrorist raids against neighboring Israeli towns and resuming missile and mortar fire, which had almost petered out in the year since Israel's Operation Cast Lead in the enclave.

Jerusalem on high alert after Hamas announces 'day of rage'

Warnings of widespread violence in Jerusalem on Monday proved to be unneeded, but police say the real test will be Tuesday.

Hamas announced a "day of rage" in response to the dedication of the restored Hurva synagogue in the Old City's Jewish Quarter, police said. Large forces will continue to be deployed throughout the city, with 3,000 police and border police officers stationed in East Jerusalem and neighboring villages.

This is what tends to happen when a nation runs an apartheid state. Israeli Arabs are second class citizens. I think the end game is approaching for the Netenyahu coalition.

The U.S is going to force the freezing of these 1600 apartments in E Jerusalem which will cause outrage among the Right-Wing Likud and the splintering of the coalition. Hopefully Kadima will gain control, then a serous peace process can begin in earnest. Fatah and Hamas need to deal with their split as well.

Looks like the 16th is going to be an interesting day like many ATSers predicted. I remember in George Orwells, 1984 when there was the Two Minute rage thingy.
