Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border

[Billo_Really]

Yes they do pull the trigger, and incite the young to go and die together.

Just yesterday there was a report they try to hide now - that one of the killed in the clashes was the son of Hamas leader, and additional 3 militants.

The only thing "inciting" the young, is Israel's inhuman occupation and blockade.

Islamic Jihad has published a death notice for three of the members of its Al Quds Brigades who were killed yesterday.

The one on the right is Ahmed Adel Mousa Al-Shaer, who was 16 years old. Yes, at least one of the "children" killed yesterday was a member of a terror group.

Here we have photographic evidence that Gaza terror groups recruit children for terror. And that terror groups are hiding in the middle of the protests to prepare acts of terror.

And that Israel isn't killing people randomly.

Iranian backed Hamas terrorists are wearing burkas and hiding among the women and children so they can get close enough to attack the Israeli military.
These scum bags ALWAYS do this!
Hamas gets rid of all the inbreeds they have in abundance this way.
Daddy/the brothers and uncles rape the little girls and impregnate them and you end up with a scene from Deliverance throughout the Palestine camps.

Shortly after 1 p.m., a team from Maglan, a special forces unit trained in operating behind enemy lines, was sent to the scene.

“There, eight armed terrorists began throwing pipe bombs and grenades at the troops and the fence,” the army says.

Surveillance footage from the clash shows the suspected terrorists hiding behind a pile of burning tires. As the IDF’s army jeeps pulled up, at least six explosives are seen being thrown toward the border.

“In order to drive them back from the fence, the troops used riot dispersal means. In response, the Hamas terror operatives opened fire at them,” the army says.

The IDF and the Shin Bet have identified 24 terrorists so far among the rioters who were killed along the Gaza border Monday.

The majority of the fatalities belonged to the Hamas terrorist organization, while others belonged to Islamic Jihad.

58 people were killed when the demonstrations along the Gaza border turned violent Monday. So far, Hamas has acknowledged that ten of the dead were members of its organization, and Islamic Jihad has acknowledged that three of the deceased were members of its organization.

Approximately 400 demonstrators are currently gathered at several locations along the Gaza perimeter fence. No serious incidents have occurred yet today, the IDF stated.

Watch: Hamas terrorists throw explosives during Gaza riots

The weekly demonstrations are called by their organizers the "Great Return March." They make it explicitly clear that the point of the riots is to storm the Gaza fence and enter Israel en masse, in an attempt to publicize the Palestinian "Right of Return" and flood Israel with millions of Palestinians, destroying the Jewish state.

Yet this joke of an NGO does not mention a word about this. Even the name of the riots, "Great Return March," is somehow missing in this "professional analysis.

No, the only reason that the "researchers" at Gisha can find for the riots is - Israeli restrictions on Gaza.

" For more than 10 years, residents of Gaza have lived under excessively harsh restrictions on movement implemented through Israel’s closure of the Strip’s land, sea and air space."


Gisha answers the question of "What precipitated the current wave of protests in Gaza?" by taking pains not to mention what the protests are about. The explicit demands of the organizers, and of their Hamas sponsors, are not mentioned:

" Regardless of the political affiliation of the protestors, who organized the protest, or the agenda they wish to promote, international law prohibits the use of lethal force against civilians unless they participate directly in acts of hostility or pose a concrete risk to life, and even then, only as a last resort and only to the extent necessary to alleviate the risk"


This is not only deceptive - it is demeaning to Palestinians .The very group that claims to want to improve the lives of Gazans is telling their Western audience not to listen to what Gazans themselves say about the protests, but only listen to their own spin. The message being given is that Gazans cannot be trusted to define their own feelings and motivations. The good people at Gisha know Gazans better than Gazans know themselves, and letting Palestinians explain their own point of view would just muddy the crystal-clear anti-Israel waters that Gisha is trying to create.

Anti-Israel NGO @Gisha_Access has "FAQ" on "Great Return March" without mentioning the word "Return" ~ Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News

Friday at the tail end of that day’s mass “March of Return” protest, a group of some 200 Palestinians broke into the Gaza side of the crossing and set fire to the Strip’s only fuel terminal and a conveyor belt used for raw construction materials. Two conveyor belts which brought animal feed into Gaza were also wrecked, according to the deputy director of the crossing.

“The people who came to Kerem Shalom and destroyed the crossing, they didn’t go there by themselves. We know that Hamas sent them,” said the COGAT officer in a conference room in the Gaza Division’s headquarters in Re’im.

The official said that during the attack on Kerem Shalom, Israeli officials watched as rioters ran back and forth between the crossing and a Hamas position a few hundred meters away.

“Then we saw about 10 Hamas people standing at the gates of Kerem Shalom,” he said.

According to the officer, the Hamas members were wearing civilian clothes but directed the events with walkie-talkies, “giving orders — what to do, where to go.”



Israel's response?

A senior officer in the Israeli military’s liaison unit to the Palestinians told reporters on Sunday, "Me and my commanders are breaking our heads trying to figure out how to get medicine into Gaza."

Israel is trying to save lives in Gaza. Hamas is trying to end them.

Everyone with a brain can see this - but the media simply will not put it in those terms, instead implying that Israel is gleefully shooting unarmed Gaza protesters. And people are believing it because few media outlets have the guts to actually tell it like it is.

Times of Israel reports a sad story, if true:

The Gaza Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry said Tuesday morning that a baby was among those killed during violent border clashes along the territory’s border with Israel the previous day, bringing the overall death toll in the day’s bloody events to 58.

The baby died from inhaling tear gas fired at Palestinian protesters, the health ministry said.

Eight-month-old Leila al-Ghandour was exposed to gas fired by Israeli forces east of Gaza City, it said. It was not immediately clear how close to the border fence Ghandour and her family were.It is entirely possible that Leila died from some other cause and the Hamas-run Health Ministry blamed Israeli actions because Hamas has been desperate to find a child to die at the protests that they can turn into another Mohammed al-Dura. Palestinians know the propaganda value of a dead child, mentioning their names constantly in articles and speeches years after their deaths, while you won't find Israeli leaders and media nowadays mentioning Shalhevet Pass, also eight months old, deliberately murdered in 2001 by a sniper's gunshot to her head while in her baby carriage.

Assuming the baby indeed died from inhalation of tear gas, though, the fault is entirely Hamas - and her parents.

Who would knowingly take a baby to a war zone where hundreds of people have already been shot?

Who would knowingly take a baby to a place where one knows with 100% certainty that there will be tear gas?

Parents in the US are worried about when to first expose their children to cow's milk and peanuts (and even water!) at that age. At least one set of Gaza parents enthusiastically bring their baby to be exposed to tear gas.

No one in their right mind -not Amnesty, not the EU - can blame Israel for using tear gas to keep people away from its border.

If anyone is to blame for this child's alleged death from tear gas, it is her parents.

Somehow, it seems certain that the narrative from the media will be far different. I doubt that any Western media outlet will say a negative word about the reckless parents - parents whose actions are every bit as reprehensible as those locking their kids in hot cars on a summer day. Such sick parenting is given a pass - because the West expects Palestinians to act like animals, and therefore when they reach that level there is no outrage.

This is a sick society and a sick media that enables it.

The Palestinians’ more sophisticated friends know what Hamas is all about. They understand that young men whipped into a frenzy by an organization that exists to destroy world Jewry, per its charter, aren’t exactly latter-day Freedom Riders. But they think that the Palestinians can’t help themselves. While they expect Israel–a state encircled by hostile populations and threatened with nuclear extinction by the Iranian mullahs–to behave like Norway, of the Palestinians they have the most dismal, if any, expectations.

Thus Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer tweeted: “The Palestinians killed today knew Israeli Defense Forces would use lethal force in response to their demonstrations. It didn’t stop them. They felt hopeless.” The Mideast reporter Sulome Anderson echoed his sentiments: “Imagine the desperation it takes to walk into live gunfire from the Middle East’s most powerful fighting force, armed with nothing more than rocks & the occasional Molotov or grenade. Try to conceive of the circumstances that could drive so many human beings to such an act.”

Or maybe try to conceive of the poisonous power of Hamas’s anti-Semitic ideology and the Palestinians’ permanently aggrieved mentality, which has allowed the conflict to fester despite numerous peace offers from the Israeli side. There are desperate people all over the world who never translate their frustration into suicide bombing, stone throwing, border-rushing, and violent “Days of Rage.” It does the Palestinians no good to treat them as children entitled to tantrums, as permanent wards of the international community or, worst, as wild men bereft of reason. Then again, such highhanded pity isn’t really about helping the Palestinians so much as it is about flattering their Western friends.

The Revolt of Palestinians in Gaza Exposes Western Media Sympathies

 

[toomuchtime_]

Sure you are. Israel isn't starving them, Hamas is.

It's Israel's blockade. Israel decided to collectively punish everyone in Gaza. You're even too ***** to take ownership over the shit things you do.

The blockade is necessary because of Hamas' war against Israel, so whatever problems the blockade may cause are the result of Hamas' war. That said, the Gazans simply are not starving. What they lack is not food but the good sense to get rid of Hamas and the other terrorist groups so that the blockade would no longer be necessary.

 

[toomuchtime_]

You see the dots but you can't connect them. Hamas is at war with Israel and so when Hamas came control Gaza, rigorous security measures were needed.

Hamas wasn't at war with Israel. Israel helped create Hamas. They just refuse to be Israel's *****, that's why they're not liked.

That's not what Hamas says. Hamas says it will capture all of Israel and to that end they continue to launch terrorist attacks against random Jews. That's why they are not liked.

And Egypt's blocade as well.

Never mind why the Egyptians are blockading Gaza, right?

Correct, it's just the Jews he is upset with.

Galant believes that the basic problem in Gaza is that the Palestinian leadership has not invested in building a peaceful and prosperous future. “We disengage[d] from the Gaza Strip 12 years ago. Billions of dollars [have been] invested in the Gaza Strip. [The] result is all this money goes to Hamas leaders, rockets and to tunnels instead of creating greenhouses and factories.”

Ask how Israel can approach the situation in Gaza different, Galant said that it is in Israel’s interest to help the people of Gaza.

“We are willing to do anything to help the Palestinian population to have a better life and better standard of living for the Palestinians,” he emphasized. “It is a necessity and in Israel’s security interests.”

Hamas official on Gaza protests: ‘Peaceful resistance’ with ‘popular support’

 

[Sixties Fan]

“We are excited to storm and get inside,” a 23-year-old Gazan named Mohammed Mansoura, told the Washington Post yesterday. “When asked what he would do inside Israel,” the newspaper reported, “he said, ‘Whatever is possible, to kill, throw stones.'”

When Israel withdrew every last soldier and settler from the Gaza Strip in 2005, only the most hardened and bitter cynics predicted that the end of Israel’s occupation of 1.3 million Palestinians would bring even greater misery to Palestinians and Israelis alike. After all, the man who led the withdrawal, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, was hardly a naive peacenik. The only way things could possibly get worse in Gaza after an Israeli withdrawal, even sober-minded people reasoned, would be if the Palestinians themselves chose leaders who were determined to sacrifice the welfare of every single person living in Gaza to a hopeless yet continuing campaign of cross-border terror against Israel.

Absurd, right? Sadly, that is exactly what has happened, leading to devastating wars in 2009 and 2014, whose failure led in turn to the recent decision by Hamas to launch a series of human wave attacks against Israel proper. Since there is no state on earth that would allow its borders to be physically overrun by mobs including terrorists with explosives, the outcome of these attacks was clear: Hamas would lose.

A Gaza health official cast doubt Tuesday on initial claims that an 8-month-old baby died from Israeli tear gas fired during mass protests on the Gaza border with Israel.

A Gazan doctor told the Associated Press that the baby, Layla Ghandour, had a preexisting medical condition and that he did not believe her death was caused by tear gas. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to disclose medical information to the media.

FFS. In light of recent events? This entirely one-sided point of view reeks of an inability to reason. At best.

The occupation is the cause of all the violence. End the occupation and you end the violence.

Yes. That is EXACTLY what Hamas and Fatah are saying. The "cause" of the violence is the inviolable human right for the Jewish people -- just like all people -- to have self-determination, self-governance and sovereignty on their own ancestral territory. If ONLY the Jewish people would give up that right -- the right to their history, their holy places, their defining peoplehood, their indigeneity, their wish not to be dhimmi but to control their own fate -- then there would be peace. If only the Jewish people recognized that they are just white bread Europeans with no defining culture, no history, no language, no traditions, no holy places, no complex set of laws, no stories or myths, no deep sense of community. If only the Jewish people recognized that they ceased to exist long ago. If only they erased themselves. If only they would let themselves burn (as one Gazan interviewed called for today).

Never. Again. Are we clear?


Now, since I know you believe in the "1967 borders" , you would have to admit that Gazans have NO RIGHT to the Israeli side of that line. Tell the Gazans to keep out of Israel and away from the fence.

IF they want the blockade to end then they just have to stop attacking Israel on Israel's side of the fence. Easy peesy.

Palestinian officials on Tuesday refused to allow trucks loaded with goods into the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, which Israel had reopened in the morning after rioters from the coastal enclave set fire to parts of the facility three times over the past month.

Shipments of medical supplies, food and diapers arrived at the crossing in the morning. But officials on the Palestinian side said they could only allow through the medical supplies and sent back 14 trucks full of food and diapers, The Times of Israel has learned.
