Facebook Page Calls To March On Israel's Borders On June 7th

Palestinian Media Watch reports: "Following the events of May 15th, when Syrian protesters crossed the border into Israel, the official PA daily reports that the 'Third Intifada' Facebook page is calling on Arabs to march on Israel's borders again, this time on the anniversary of the Six Day War, and what the activists refer to as 'June 7th - the anniversary of the theft of Jerusalem.'"

The following was reported in the official PA daily:

"Palestinian activists on the "Third Intifada" Facebook page called for marking the anniversary of the [Israeli] occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip [i.e., the Six-Day War], as on [the anniversary of] the Palestinian catastrophe [i.e., Palestinian term for the creation of the State of Israel], when demonstrations were held - one of which succeeded in crossing the border between Israel and Syria... The activists said, in their Internet announcement: "Out of loyalty to the Shahids (Martyrs), and in order to continue the path and to base ourselves upon the achievements of the revolutionaries and those who rose up, we announce forcefully and loudly that June 7th - the anniversary of the theft of Jerusalem, the 'flower of cities', by the Zionists - is the day for swearing loyalty to Jerusalem in every country of the world.'"
