SIEGE IN GAZA Twelve killed by Israeli forces and 550 injured as thousands of Palestinians swarm
Ther Sun (UK) ^ | March 30th, 2018 | By James Cox

AT LEAST twelve people, including a 16-year-old boy, have been killed as Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli forces at the Gaza border.

More than 550 were injured as large crowds of flag-waving Palestinians marched toward the boundary, some of them throwing stones and drawing Israeli fire.

Participants were seen burning posters of Donald Trump, who ordered the embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

An estimated 17,000 people gathered in tent encampments at five sites near the border, in what were supposed to be peaceful protests.

But it turned into the deadliest day in Gaza in several months.

Israel's military said thousands of Palestinians rolled burning tires at the border, and that troops opened fire at the "main instigators."

Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, commander of the Israeli military's Southern Command, which includes the border, said Friday that "we are identifying attempts to carry out terror attacks under the camouflage of riots."

Brilliant, and unexpected tactics by Israel.

Snipe the ring leaders and tear gas the rest.

These protests will not last until May 15th.

Can’t the ‘pa/gaza” folks be renamed “Victistinians”? Happy Birthday Israel.

For young men, these protests are a fun departure from their boring and meaningless lives.

Hose them down with a mix of manure and pigs blood. Make the protest distinctly “non fun”.

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

I lost all and any sympathy for “Palestinians” more than 40 years ago.

More peaceful protest BS. They came ready to rally.

The Palis thought that they could try to gain sympathy with a civil disobedience protest, but it got out of hand. Part of the problem is that a significant fraction of them were using the rest of the civilians as shields for their murderous actions. Par for the course there.

Big innovation I see is the Israelis using drones to pinpoint drop teargas on the mobs.

Hopefully the Israeli snipers rotate so everyone gets a chance to practice picking off terrorists.

They burned photos of The Donald!!!

[sarcasm]Why would they do that? The "palaeos" on this site tell us they voted for Trump because he was going to destroy the "international Zionist conspiracy." Why would those wonderful Ay-rabs, martyrs for white western civilization against Jewish bolshevism, burn the picture of the man who is going to save us all from Jewish thrall???[/sarcasm]

Seriously, I'm sure FR's "palaeos" and chromosome worshipers are brokenhearted.
