The “Palestinian” terrorist organization Hamas has threatened to ramp up violence against Israelis if the US Congress dares to ratify a bill calling for global recognition of Jerusalem as the Jewish capital.

The proposed legislation was submitted by Senator Sam Brownback (Rep.-Kansas).

It links recognition of a unified Jerusalem as Israel’s capital to the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state.

The bill also notes that while Jerusalem is central to the Jewish faith, it is not mentioned even once by name in the Koran.

“Jerusalem is essential in Judaism, it is mentioned in the Bible 766 times,” the proposal states.

Hamas responded Monday by threatening to end the temporary pause in its campaign to mass murder Israel’s Jews should Congress pass the bill.

“We will not accept less than” Jerusalem as the capital of a Muslim Palestinian state, Hamas spokesman Mushir Al-Masri told reporters in Gaza.

The Clinton and Bush administrations after it have refused for more than a decade to implement legislation calling for the transfer of America’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, calling such a move a threat to national security.
