Protesters demand pull-out of US naval forces from Bahrain
[PRESSTV] Thousands of people have staged demonstrations across Bahrain, demanding the immediate withdrawal of American marines from the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom and closure of the US naval base there.The protesters erupted into the streets in the capital Manama on Friday evening, carrying placards reading "Leave Our Land" and shouting slogans in condemnation of Washington’s support for the ruling Al Khalifah regime. The demonstrators also condemned the recent massacre of dozens of Paleostinians during anti-occupation protest rallies along the border between the Gazoo Strip and occupied territories, and stepped on the images of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Similar rallies were held in the villages of Abu Saiba, Shakhurah, al-Daih, Karbabad and Buri. At least 64 Paleostinians were killed and more than 2,700 others maimed near the Gazoo fence on Monday on the eve of the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day (Day of Catastrophe), which coincided this year with the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied city of Jerusalem al-Quds. The occupied territories have witnessed new tensions ever since Trump on December 6, 2017, announced Washington's recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s "capital" and said the US would move its embassy to the city.
