JAKARTA, April 9 (IslamOnline) - The daily anti-Israel protest continued in the streets of Jakarta on Monday, April 8, with protesters rallying in front of the U.S. Embassy in a move against Israeli incursions in Palestinian territories, news agencies reported.

The group burned makeshift Israeli flags in front of the U.S. Embassy on Medan Merdeka Selatan Street in Central Jakarta, El Shinta, a local radio station reported according to the Indonesian daily newspaper, The Jakarta Post.

Security personnel were in force in front of the iron fence, the report said.

The group urged the United States to intervene and stop Israel's aggression toward Palestine. The daily protests has see as much as 5000 people rallying on Sunday last, urging the Indonesian government to take stronger steps to force the world community to take actions against Israel.

The Indonesian government has strongly condemned Israel's recent operations, particularly the occupation of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's West Bank headquarters in Ramallah, which resulted in the deaths of five Palestinian security personnel and one Israeli soldier.

Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, does not have any diplomatic ties with Israel.

Former president Abdurrahman "Gus Dur" Wahid, an acquaintance of Nobel peace laureate foreign minister Simon Perez had tried to build ties with Israel but the plan was strongly denounced by most Muslim elements here and subsequently failed.

Wahid engaged Henry Kissinger, former State Secretary in the U.S. as an adviser to oversee the troubled province of Aceh. Wahid is said to have followed Kissinger’s advice on Aceh, disallowing them a referendum for independence.

Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation on earth, with a population of 212 million 85 to 90% of which are Muslims.

The two most influential Muslim groups in the country the Nahdatul Ulama (NU) and the Mohamadiyah has both condemned Israel but has also been silent on actions Indonesia should take to force the Jewish state to stop its aggression.

Indonesians are continuously enrolling themselves to fight a “Palestine Jihad” against the Jews, some political organizations told IslamOnline.

On the other hand, white doves were set free by protesters during Monday’s peace campaign against the Israel's ongoing aggression in Palestine and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's West Bank headquarters in Ramallah.

The non-government organization, along with women and children, staged a protest in front of the U.S. Embassy in Central Jakarta on Monday, demanding the United States take firm actions to stop the violence.

Meanwhile in Kuala Lumpur, the Party Islam Se Malaysia (PAS) is staging a massive protest for this Friday, April 12, expecting 5000 protesters to rally in front of the U.S. Embassy.
