Indonesians rally against Israel
20/03/2010 - 15:02:38Thousands of Indonesians rallied in the capital of the world’s most populous Muslim nation today to protest against Israel’s plan to expand settlements in disputed east Jerusalem.
Demonstrators organised by an Islamic political party waved Indonesian and Palestinian flags and carried banners that read “Save our Palestine” and “Israel is the real terrorist” on their march through downtown Jakarta.
The crowd swelled to an estimated 5,000 people during the three-hour protest, which was mostly peaceful, said police officer Riza Rusmawan.
