http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2017/12/22/Palestinian-killed-in-anti-US-protests-after-UN-vote-on-Jerusalem-health-official.html"Palestinians launched more anti-US protests on Friday, and at least two demonstrators were killed in the Gaza Strip, a health official said, after the UN General Assembly rejected Washingtons recognition of Jerusalem as Israels capital.
Smoke billowed from burning tires at a demonstration in Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, two days before Christmas celebrations in the biblical town.
Israeli gunfire killed a 24-year-old Palestinian and wounded 10 other protesters during a stone-throwing demonstration in the southern Gaza Strip, a spokesman for the Palestinian Health Ministry there said. The Israeli military said it was checking the report.
A second man,whose identity is still unknown, died in clashes east of Gaza. He was shot in the chest according to the health ministry official."

"Friday's deaths in Gaza raised to nine the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire during the demonstrations, Palestinian health officials said, and dozens have been wounded. Two militants were killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza after a rocket attack. There have been no Israeli fatalities or significant injuries.
One of the wounded, part of a crowd that approached the border fence chanting that US President Donald Trump was a fool and a coward, was dressed as Santa Claus, witnesses said."

Amnesty International on Friday called on Israeli authorities to stop using excessive force.

But the world media, Palestinians, and their supporters say that we should focus on some words spoken by a illegitimate American president.
Crazy.

Meanwhile the posts about J'lem have gotten thousands of views. All over some words.
Some people here seem a little obsessed with Israel and Jews. Just saying.
