I have been posting most of what has been going on since last Friday's march on the "Who are the Palestinians" Thread.
Feel free to read the posts, those who would like to.

Since this is going to continue until May 14th, and probably beyond, let us keep all news about this non original event by Hamas and others in Gaza in order to try to invade Israel and destroy it, on this separate thread.

The news are so many that it does deserve its own thread after all.

So, here it goes:
------------------------


Attempting to learn from their last violent day of border rage, Hamas has instructed its faithful to NOT post photos of Gazan victims in military uniforms… and without their weapons.

The #PAsbara ploy is to confuse Social Media Justice Warriors (you know, the ones saying Kaddish for the dead terrorists) and to ensure they will continue to blame Israel with their mighty keyboards.

On the bright side, despite the planned 60 thousand tire burn-off on the Gaza side of the border… current weather predictions are for strong winds from the East… to keep the acrid, rubber smoke of burning tires away from Israel.

Watch: Armed terrorist near security fence

Where is the famous Palestinian solidarity? Where is BDS? Where are the Hamas leaders? Where are the famous media that make public opinion? They are all in Gaza, because there is Israel to execrate, to crucify, to condemn. A hypocrisy bathed in the blood of so many innocents, and they want to wash the blood of Palestinian terrorists with that of the Israelis. Perversity incarnate!

Imagine if Hamas had brought those 30,000 to the Iranian border. The ayatollahs would have sent them the Basiji, the Shiite militia. To shoot on the crowd, to make mass arrests, to torture them in Evin prison, to make desaparecidos. Let's think about what the Iranians did when their women tried to take off the veil on the street or their poor marched for bread. They did it to their own citizens.

Imagine if Hamas had brought those 30,000 against the Erdogan in Turkey. Ask the Kurds - they know what would have happened to the

Palestinians. And if Hamas had brought those 30,000 against the Egyptian border, would Al-Sisi have used white gloves?

Do we ever hear of Palestinian Arab marches in Jordan, where they make up the vast majority of the population? No? Because they remember what King Hussein did to them in 1972: 3,400 Palestinians killed in cold blood.

[ No children were shot at last Friday, but the UN cannot help itself but repeat what the Palestinians themselves say, whiteout showing actual proof of it.]

The UN envoy for the Middle East expressed concern Thursday of the “preparations and rhetoric” for the second Palestinian March of Return to be held along the Gaza border Friday, a week after protests morphed into deadly violence.

“Israeli forces should exercise maximum restraint and Palestinians should avoid friction at the Gaza fence,” Nickolay Mladenov said in a statement Thursday, as both sides girded for what isesxpected to be a repeat of last weekend’s protests.

---------
On Thursday, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry announced the death of an additional Palestinian protester who was hit by Israeli fire during border clashes last Friday.

His death brings the toll from Friday’s clashes to 20, according to the ministry’s figures.

However, there have been discrepancies in Palestinian reports on the Gaza death toll from Friday. While Hamas claimed Monday that 18 had died, the official news agency of the Palestinian Authority had the number at 16. Israel has no official death toll figures. Over 1,000 were reported injured.
-----------
Mladenov’s Thursday statement was nearly identical to one he made prior to the first March of Return, which coincided with Land Day last Friday.
----------
After the last protests, Hamas leaders boasted that the next one would not necessarily stop at the border and that the terror group could have more “surprises” in store for Israel.

Hamas to Swarm Israel's Border, Sparking Fear of New 'Passover War'

How exciting

 

[Sixties Fan]

In case the point was missed this time around, the statement from the Brigades promises: "The blood of the pure martyrs will not go to waste. The enemy will pay a price at a time and place and in a way that the resistance decides.”



None of this is to say that Gazans do not have legitimate grievances. They face a triple blockade from Israel to its north, Egypt to its south and the Palestinian Authority, that last year sought to choke off the strip from the electric grid in Israel. The fact that at least 16 Palestinians were killed in the march compounds this suffering.

And that suffering demands attention from people of conscience. But this attention should not treat the arsonist like the fire victim. The arsonist is the march's organizer, Hamas. For this group, any Palestinian casualties in the march were a feature and not a bug. Like its tactics in previous Gaza wars, where it launched rockets from apartment buildings and schools, Hamas seeks Palestinian casualties to earn legitimacy for its armed struggle.

Palestinian Casualties Are No Accident for Hamas

 

[P F Tinmore]

Mainstream media only has a framework of violence to understand the Question of Palestine, which makes it ill-equipped to understand and explain one of the largest civil protests among Palestinians in recent history. That is why the media sounds like it is trying to shove a square into a circle as it fails to explicitly say Israel executed 18 Palestinians and injured 1400 others where no lethal threat was posed and while Palestinians were literally on their own lands in the buffer zone - 300-500 meters of agricultural lands Israel arbitrarily marked as a buffer zone- and not even at Israel's undeclared militarized border.

This is about Israel's settler anxiety and the inability to make Palestinians disappear- they have not forgotten, not assimilated into other countries, and struggle to return motivated by love and belonging. ~ Noura Erakat

To the Editor:

“A Test for Israel in Gaza” (editorial, April 4) doesn’t mention, or minimizes, basic facts that led to the situation in Gaza.

First, we withdrew entirely from the Gaza Strip in August 2005, removing every Israeli resident, home, factory and synagogue. We are not responsible for the well-being of the people of Gaza.

In the years after our disengagement, billions of dollars in aid poured into the Gaza Strip. Instead of improving the lives of Palestinians, Hamas, internationally recognized as a terrorist group, misappropriated these funds, using them to build rockets and to dig terror tunnels with the intent of harming Israeli civilians.

Second, the restrictions that exist on Gaza are not the cause of the situation there but rather a result of Hamas’s refusal to renounce violence. This is not Israel’s condition, but rather that put forward by the United States, the European Union and the United Nations as part of the Quartet framework. If there were no terror, there would be no restrictions.

Finally, the fence that was attacked over the last week separates a sovereign, democratic state and a murderous terrorist entity. Our security forces acted judiciously, and a vast majority of those killed were terrorists who have been identified as members of Hamas.

These were not “peaceful protests.” As we warned the Security Council last week, armed terrorists were dispersed among the protesters, and numerous efforts were made to breach the fence. Every critic of Israel must ask himself how he would expect the security forces of his own country to react if terrorists armed with rifles and Molotov cocktails began to march on his country’s border.

Hamas has announced that it will continue to hide behind women and children and will plan further attacks on our sovereignty. It is the peak of hypocrisy for the international community to criticize Israel while ignoring the real factors causing pain and suffering to the innocent people of Gaza.

n the clip of a phone conversation between a COGAT official and a bus company owner, the Israeli security official can be heard warning the Palestinian against “taking part in the terror” by driving Gazans to the protest as the companies did last week.

The driver responds by insisting that he and others had heeded Israeli warnings, but that those who refused to comply with Hamas pressure were jailed and replaced by other drivers willing to ferry Palestinians to the protests.

“We are not helping. Hamas came, arrested us, and filed a complaint against us,” he contended. “What are we supposed to do in such a situation?”

Terror group tells protesters to avoid friction with Israeli troops; Gazans urge tires be painted and planted with flowers instead of burned
---
A group of Palestinian youths launched a campaign under the banner, “Instead of setting them on fire, let’s decorate them” — a reference to the plan to burn the tires.

The youths were seen painting tires in bright colors and planting some of them with flowers.

Well, this is certainly what one might expect as pointless and counter-productive. However, considering the source, what else would be expected.

Deflection;
The subject of the thread is about Hamas at Israel’s border with weapons, encouraging Palestinians to storm the border, and even using Human Shields during the Passover Holiday which has NOTHING to do with your post.

Since when are assault rifles and grenades and IEDs "no lethal threat"?

How can those of us arguing the Israeli side take those arguing the Arab Palestinian side SERIOUSLY when you post such nonsense? The Arab Palestinian arguments are getting increasingly ridiculous. The efforts to paint Israels (read: Jews) as demons fail all normal rules of logic.
