JAKARTA, Indonesia - Hundreds of hard-line Muslims protested ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon in the Indonesian capital on Friday, calling for the fall of the Jewish state and an end to killing of their brothers in the Middle East.
Demonstrators chanted anti-Israeli and anti-American slogans as they marched from the Presidential Palace to the US Embassy, calling on the Indonesian government to send holy warriors to Lebanon and the Palestinian territories to join Hezbollah and Hamas in their fight against Israel.
We demand that the war be stopped,” said demonstrator Muhammad Ismail Yusanto of the Hizbut Tahrir organization, which wants to introduce Islamic law in Indonesia. “Send the Indonesian army to wage Islamic holy war against the Jews.”
They called on the United States to “stop the slaughtering of Muslims in Palestine and Lebanon” by Israel.
Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags, carried banners reading “topple the government of the Israeli terrorists” and chanted: “God is great” or “the United States and Israel are the real terrorists.”
Protests were also scheduled in other major Indonesia cities Friday, including Surabaya, Bandung and Yogyakarta.
