Feel free to post any news, information, embassy warnings or other on topic content, but not political opinion.
We have a confirmation Trump has declared a new official capital of Israel as far as the US is concerned, and heard the reactions from around the world.
That leaves Americans (and anyone white) in a greater danger of violence in many countries, Indonesia included.
This isn't about the rights and wrongs of his move, but all about the very likely increased danger to anyone who looks as if they could be American.
I fully expect demonstrations with a lot of shouting and screaming but I also expect terrorist attacks against western targets here.
I would strongly recommend not wearing anything that could single you out as a possible American and being careful of your surroundings, watching out for suspicious activity from people around you.

TEMPO.CO, Jerusalem - America`s friends and foes unleashed fierce criticism on Wednesday ahead of President Donald Trump`s announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel`s capital.
While Israel welcomed the news, Palestinian officials declared the Mideast peace process "finished" and Turkey announced it would host a meeting of Islamic nations next week to give Muslim countries' leaders an opportunity to coordinate a response. The Arab League scheduled an emergency meeting on Saturday.
Please note, I have deliberately NOT expressed my opinion of the move and don't want this thread to be political either way so posts expressing support or otherwise will likely be removed.
