Palestinian activists and citizens organized on Saturday afternoon in Nablus city a protest they called “Dajeej” to express their rejection of the US recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The participants aimed to create a lot of loud sounds or noise (dajeej in Arabic) to break the silence vent their anger in solidarity with Jerusalem and in protest at the US decision and make it clear that the holy city is “the eternal capital of Palestine.”
To create the noise Church bells were sounded and Mosque loudspeakers were used to chant Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest) while the participants played musical instruments and taxi drivers honked their horns.
The event was held in al-Shuhada area in central Nablus and attended by dozens of citizens. Similar events were also held simultaneously in different areas of Palestine and other cities around the world according to the organizers.
