MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights -Mobilized by calls on Facebook, thousands of Arab protesters marched on Israel's borders with Syria, Lebanon and Gaza on Sunday in an unprecedented wave of demonstrations, sparking clashes that left at least 15 people dead in an annual Palestinian mourning ritual marking the anniversary of Israel's birth.
In a surprising turn of events, hundreds of Palestinians and supporters poured across the Syrian frontier and staged riots, drawing Israeli accusations that Damascus, and its ally Iran, orchestrated the unrest to shift attention from an uprising back home. It was a rare incursion from the usually tightly controlled Syrian side and could upset the delicate balance between the two longtime foes.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who heads to Washington at the end of the week, said he ordered the military to act with "maximum restraint" but vowed a tough response to further provocations.
"Nobody should be mistaken. We are determined to defend our borders and sovereignty," he declared in a brief address broadcast live on Israeli TV stations.
The violence showed Israel the extent of Arab anger over the Palestinian issue, beyond the residents of the West Bank and Gaza, and came at a critical time for U.S. Mideast policy.

This is just a prelude of what Soros via Obama has community organized among the “democracy protestors.” This summer we will see the fire works.
Protesters from an enemy state rush the sovereign border of another state causing riots.....then get upset when they get shot at...LOL!
Ah, the “Arab spring.” As in, it’s springtime for Hitler.
PA president says protesters “precious blood will not be wasted”; Hamas calls Nakba Day events “a turning point in the Israeli-Arab conflict”; Hezbollah condemns the “Israeli aggression on unarmed civilians.”

Will Barry allow Israel to respond, or will the bombs start falling on Tel Aviv? Is everyone still thrilled about the Islamic, Democratic uprising?
Pallees talk about “right of return [for palees]”, when they really mean “right of eviction [of Israelis]”.
Actually they were rioting for the return of the big bowl of butterscotch pudding for the royal wedding.
Exactly.
Showing us how to defend borders appropriately.
Ah, the “Arab spring.” As in, it’s springtime for Hitler.
Well you came back and posted here. You just couldn’t stay away could you? Can’t blame you one lil bit. Perhaps Jimbo Rob is not the ‘tyrant’ of FR afterall. Try pointing your ammuntion at the correct targets instead. Welcome home!
I think you misread DJ MacWoW’s post and graphic. She’s working on the FReepaton thread, trying to gin-up donations. Her posting is an actual letter sent to Jim by a disgruntled FReeper still gleefully posting here while not donating a dime.
I’ll reply just because you said we don’t. He He!
LOL!!!
This is exactly what Obama and those who think like him, want: a “grass roots” community- organized, Facebook, Arab Spring, which tightens the noose around Israel and squeezes them out of the region, because “the voice of the people” must be heard.
Soros, Ayers, Dornan are runnign around the ME helping to overthrow America friendly governments, and causing tens of thousands to lose their lives, so far. Isn’t that some sort of crime?
Arab protesters descend on Israeli borders
Coiol, makes it a much easier target.
