The Palestinian Authority announced that it would be “raging” on Tuesday at various confrontation sites in the West Bank, following US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s bombshell declaration last week that Washington no longer considers the Israeli settlements there illegal under international law.
The “Day of Rage” protest comes following an unprecedented two consecutive weeks of silence on the Gaza border, as the the committee in charge of organizing the weekly border demonstrations is reportedly mulling scaling them back to just once a month and for special events.
The West Bank protests are expected to take place in the Shcem area (Huwwara checkpoint), at several locations in the contentious Chevron area and in the Ramallah area.

Christian theology played a part in the stereotyping and persecution of Jewish people that ultimately led to the Holocaust, according to a new report released by the Church of England on Thursday.
Titled “God’s Unfailing Word: Theological and Practical Perspectives on Christian-Jewish Relations,” the 121-page report said attitudes towards Judaism over centuries had provided a “fertile seed-bed for murderous anti-Semitism,” and that Anglicans and other Christians must repent for the “sins of the past,” as well as actively challenge anti-Semitic attitudes or stereotypes.

A Geneva businessman took part in an auction to buy Adolf Hitler’s top hat and more Nazi memorabilia in order to keep them out of the hands of neo-Nazis and will donate them to a Jewish group.
Abdallah Chatila, a Lebanese Christian who has lived in Switzerland for decades, paid some 600,000 euros ($660,000) for the items last week at a Munich auction, intending to destroy them after reading of Jewish groups’ objections to the sale, ultimately deciding to donate the items to the Keren Hayesod.
The European Jewish Association applauded his “supreme act of kindness, generosity and solidarity.”

Defense Secretary Mark Esper asked for the resignation of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer on Sunday after losing confidence in him over his handling of the case of a Navy SEAL accused of war crimes in Iraq, the Pentagon said.
Spencer’s ouster was another dramatic turn in the story of Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, a Navy SEAL who was accused of committing war crimes during a 2017 deployment. Gallagher was acquitted of murder but convicted in July of posing with the corpse of an Islamic State prisoner.
President Donald Trump weighed in on the decision on Twitter, accusing the Navy of mishandling the Gallagher case and mentioning cost overruns in unspecified contracts.

More than 11,000 people have signed a petition urging the Canadian government to reverse its vote in favor of an annual United Nations resolution that deems the Western Wall and other sites of Jewish worship occupied Palestinian territories.
The General Assembly motion in question, which passed on Tuesday afternoon, describes east Jerusalem — home to the Temple Mount and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City — “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” without recognizing any Israeli claims to the land. It also condemned the construction of the West Bank security barrier, which was erected following a Palestinian campaign of suicide bombings and other attacks targeting civilians.
