(EPA photo)JAKARTA: Hardline Muslim groups in Indonesia burned photos of US President Donald Trump, as well as US and Israeli flags, on Monday during a protest outside the US embassy against Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Hundreds attended the protest outside the US embassy in Jakarta, which was barricaded by barbed wire and dozens of police officers. "Let us witness the destruction of Israel's hegemony," one protest leader shouted into a megaphone as protesters burned an Israeli flag. Many protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried banners supporting "intifada", or an uprising against Israel, and rally leaders also shouted anti-Semitic slogans.
